The stereoadapter is a lightweight and comfortable frame that is quickly & easily mounted on the patient's head by means of two earplugs & a nose bridge support. With the patient is a sitting position, the stereoadapter is mounted by inserting the ear plugs in the ear canal & symmetrically lowering the nasion arms until the nasion support rests on the bridge of the nose. The nasion screw is then tightened to secure the ear plugs in place. The stereoadapter side arms are then symmetrically pressed to the scalp on each side of the head and locked into position on the connector plate. The vertex stabilizer is then positioned and secured into place. The strapping band is then tightly fastened against the occiput to further stabilize the frame.
