How I do it: an improved temporal bone holder.
Although some form of temporal bone holder is in use in virtually all ENT postgraduate teaching departments, a paucity of information in the literature may cause problems in selecting the most appropriate model to those responsible for equipping temporal bone laboratories. The bone holder which we describe is based on existing designs but incorporates a built-in irrigation system which offers considerable advantages to the unassisted operator.
