and with its line markings parallel to the centre
line, so that a right angle in the sagittal plane
is guaranteed. In the coronal plane an individ-
ual angle can be set with an angle adjustment
on the THOMALE GUIDE. The rotation of the
catheter guide, which is directed via guide rails,
results from a very close fulcrum over the burr-
hole.
The THOMALE GUIDE was designed for the Mi-
ethke-VC. For the Miethke-VC only the catheter
guide with an inner diameter of 2,6 mm (ID2.6)
should be used. Optionally, the THOMALE
GUIDE is supplied with catheter guides with an
inner diameter of 3,1 mm (ID3.1) and 3,6 mm
(ID3.6) so that a range of ventricular catheters
with different diameters can be used. It is very
important to take into account that the cath-
eters should have an external diameter 0.1 mm
less than the catheter guide's inner diameter.
Christoph Miethke GmbH & Co. KG does not
assume any liability for the improper use of the
THOMALE GUIDE.
