The Craniomaxillofacial Mini Burr Hole Plates with Crosshead Screws (36 Pcs) are specialized cranial fixation components intended for use in craniomaxillofacial and neurosurgical procedures. Burr hole plates are commonly used to cover and stabilize openings created in the skull during selected neurosurgical procedures, helping provide a structured fixation solution following the required surgical access.
The 36-piece configuration combines mini burr hole plates with crosshead screws, providing the surgical team with a coordinated selection of fixation components. The compact plate profile is designed for cranial applications where low-profile fixation and appropriate coverage of the burr hole are required. The exact number of plates and screws within the 36-piece configuration may vary depending on the manufacturer’s packaging, so the supplied component list should be verified before purchase.
Burr holes may be created during procedures involving cranial access, drainage, monitoring, shunt-related surgery, or other neurosurgical techniques. Once the required procedure has been completed, an appropriately selected burr hole cover may be positioned over the opening and secured to the surrounding bone using compatible screws. The surgeon determines the appropriate fixation method according to the procedure, anatomy, and applicable implant system instructions.
The crosshead screw design provides a recognizable driver interface for controlled insertion using the appropriate compatible screwdriver. Correct driver engagement is important for maintaining screw integrity and reducing the risk of damaging the screw head during placement. The surgical team should always use the driver and fixation technique specified for the particular implant system.
Mini cranial plates are useful when a compact fixation profile is preferred. Their smaller dimensions can help accommodate the contours of the skull and provide coverage around the burr hole without unnecessarily extending beyond the intended fixation area. Proper positioning and fixation are determined by the surgeon based on the patient’s anatomy and the specific surgical application.
These components may be relevant to neurosurgery, cranial trauma, craniomaxillofacial surgery, and reconstructive cranial procedures, depending on the implant system and its approved indications. They should only be used by qualified healthcare professionals trained in cranial fixation techniques.
Before implantation, each plate and screw should be inspected for damage, deformation, contamination, or other defects. The surgeon should verify implant dimensions, screw compatibility, material specifications, and system-specific instrumentation before use. Implants intended for single use should not be reused or reprocessed unless the manufacturer specifically provides validated instructions permitting such use.
Proper storage is also important. Plates and screws should remain in their original protective packaging until they are prepared for clinical use. Components should be protected from mechanical damage and contamination, and the manufacturer’s storage conditions should be followed.
The 36 Pcs Craniomaxillofacial Mini Burr Hole Plates with Crosshead Screws provide a compact fixation solution for selected cranial procedures. Their coordinated plate-and-screw configuration can simplify implant preparation while supporting controlled coverage and stabilization of appropriate burr hole sites.

FAQs
What are mini burr hole plates used for?
Mini burr hole plates are designed to cover and provide fixation over appropriate burr hole sites following selected cranial or neurosurgical procedures.
How many pieces are included in this set?
The product is specified as a 36-piece set containing mini burr hole plates and crosshead screws.
What are crosshead screws used for?
Crosshead screws provide fixation of the burr hole plate to the surrounding cranial bone using a compatible driver and the appropriate surgical technique.
Can these plates be used in neurosurgery?
Yes. Burr hole plates are used in selected neurosurgical procedures where coverage and fixation of a cranial opening are required, subject to the implant’s approved indications.
Are these implants suitable for cranial trauma?
Depending on the specific implant system and its approved indications, mini cranial plates may be used in selected cranial trauma and reconstructive procedures.
What does mini burr hole plate mean?
A mini burr hole plate is a compact cranial fixation plate designed specifically to provide coverage around an appropriate burr hole while maintaining a relatively small fixation profile.
Do the screws require a special screwdriver?
The crosshead screws require an appropriately sized compatible driver. The exact driver specification should be confirmed with the manufacturer or implant system documentation.
Are the plates and screws reusable?
Implant components are commonly supplied for specific clinical use according to manufacturer instructions. They should not be reused or reprocessed unless the manufacturer explicitly validates reuse for that specific product.
How should cranial plates and screws be stored?
Implants should remain in their original protective packaging and be stored according to the manufacturer’s specified environmental and handling requirements until preparation for clinical use.
What should be checked before implantation?
The surgical team should verify implant size, plate and screw compatibility, material, packaging integrity, sterility status, and any system-specific instrumentation requirements before use.
