A method of head restraint in unanesthetized cats by using frontal sinus.
Two stainless steel bolts were implanted and fixed parallel in the frontal sinus of cats with dental acrylic and screws. When unanaesthetized, the head was fixed to a frame by securing the bolts to an acrylic plate. This arrangement provides a quick, rigid and safe fixation of the head without any signs of discomfort.
