title: The "thousand-hands Kannon" universal headframe. Technical note.
abstract: The authors describe a new headframe system, by which a variety of instruments, such as brain retractors, suction tubes, mirrors, forks, armrests, and cotton-sheet trays, can be simultaneously supported. This frame enables neurosurgeons to perform operations with greater ease and fewer problems.
