Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for fixation to a patient during neurological diagnosis, therapy or surgery, in particular during MRI diagnosis. The device comprises at least one fixation pin being made of a non-magnetic, electrically conductive material for fixation to a patient, and at least one pin support member for supporting said fixation pin. An insulation means is arranged so as to restrict the electrical coupling between said pin support member and fixation pin. Said insulation means is sleeve shaped and arranged to at least partly surround said fixation pin. The invention also relates to an insulation means, a pin support member and to a method for assembling a fixation device.

Abstract: A device is provided for fixation of equipment to the head of a patient during neurological diagnosis, therapy or surgery, comprising a ring-shaped frame having at least three fixation pins which are attachable against the skull of the patient with a contact force for fixation of the device thereto. At least one connecting means is positioned at a location where the frame has a minimum of displacement due to deformation of the frame when the fixation pins are tightened towards the skull, in order to allow fixation of equipment for diagnosis, therapy or surgery to the frame without they being distorted as a consequence of the deformation of the frame. The invention also relates to a method for fixation of the head of a patient by means of such a device.

Abstract: A device for injecting a substance into a body, especially human or animal, comprising a cannula or needle member (4-6) and a dosing device (8) for supplying a determined amount of substance (10) to a target area (1), the dosing device having an attachment (7) for the cannula or needle member. The invention is characterised in that the cannula or needle member (4-6) comprises a tube (4) and a catheter (6) which is displaceable in the tube, the outer diameter of the catheter being smaller than the inner diameter of the tube, thereby forming a gap between the catheter (5) and the tube (4), essentially over the entire length of the tube (4), in that the proximal portion of the catheter is attached to the dosing device (8), and in that the distal portion (9) of the catheter, in connection with said injection, is arranged adjacent to the distal end (12) of the tube (4) and forms a fluid-tight seal therewith.
