CRANIAL PLUG INCLUDING A LUCENT DISK
A cranial plug includes a cranial plug housing having a window recess with an access hole. A window is shaped and dimensioned for positioning with the window recess of the cranial plug housing.
1 . A lucent burr hole plug, comprising:
a support frame includes a central frame assembly defining a central opening, the central frame assembly includes an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper and lower surfaces are connected by an interior side wall and an exterior side wall, and a plurality of coupling arms radially extending outwardly from the exterior side wall; and
a lucent disk mounted upon the support frame, wherein the central opening is shaped and dimensioned for positioning of the lucent disk thereon in alignment with the central opening.
2 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein the support frame is a titanium support frame.
3 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of coupling arms includes a first end coupled to the central frame assembly and a second end positioned beyond a circumference define by the central frame assembly.
4 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 3 , wherein the second end of each of the plurality of coupling arms includes at least one aperture.
5 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein the lucent disk is optically transparent.
6 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein the lucent disk is optically translucent to all light waves.
7 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein the lucent disk is sonolucent.
8 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein the lucent disk is radiolucent.
9 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein the lucent disk is optically transparent, optically translucent to all light waves, is sonolucent, and is radiolucent.
10 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 1 , wherein the lucent disk includes an upper surface, a lower surface, and a sidewall extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, the lower surface of the lucent disk is formed with an outer perimeter that conforms with the upper surface of the central frame assembly and a central portion that conforms with the central opening defined by the central frame assembly.
11 . The lucent burr hole plug according to claim 10 , wherein the central portion of the lucent disk extends downwardly slightly more than the outer perimeter such that the central portion of the lucent disk sits within the space defined by the central opening of the circular central frame assembly such that at least a portion of the lower surface of the of lucent disk connecting the outer perimeter to the central portion of the lucent disk faces interior side wall of the circular central frame assembly.
