Abstract: A positioning device for a medical field generator includes a base member, an adaptor connected with the base member and configured to support a field generator, and a fixing member allowing the positioning device to be fixed to an associated operating table. The base member includes at least one contacting section and is configured to contact an upper surface of an operating table. The adaptor is configured to prevent the field generator from being positioned at less than a predetermined distance from the operating table. A method positions a medical field generator. The field generator is attached with the positioning device. A base member of the positioning device, with the field generator attached to it, is positioned on the upper surface of the operating table and beneath a part of a head of a patient lying on the operating table. The positioning device is fixedly attached with the operating table.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a positioning device (1) for a medical field generator (2), comprising:—a base member (3) which comprises at least one contacting section (3a) and is configured to contact the upper surface of an operating table;—an adaptor (4) which is connected to the base member (3) and configured to support the field generator (2); and—fixing means (5) which allow the positioning device (1) to be fixed to an operating table, wherein the adaptor (4) is configured to prevent the field generator (2) from being positioned at less than a predetermined distance from the operating table.

Abstract: A medical instrument holding device for holding instrument of different axial cross sections comprising a holding site unit, comprising a plurality of holding sites at predefined holding angles around an axis, the holding sites comprising different holding sizes for holding parts of instruments of different axial cross sections; and a coupling unit constituted to define a plurality of coupling angles around the axis with respect to a device support, the coupling unit being constituted to block rotational movement around the axis and to allow coupling of the holding site unit to the device support only at the plurality of coupling angles, when coupled to the device support.
