Device And Method For Providing A Lateralization Effect

Summary: The Present Invention Relates Generally To A Device And Method For Providing A Lateralization Effect Such As In A Medical Procedure. The Lateralization Device Can Have A Supporting Member, Which Can Be Adapted To Be Supported In A Fixed Position. A Lateralization Member Can Be Provided To At Least Partially Wrap Around The Supporting Member And Be Mounted Thereto To Provide A Lateralization Effect. The Lateralization Member Can Be Formed And/Or Adjusted To Provide A Variable Lateralization. For Example, The Lateralization Member Can Comprise A Cylindrical Member With An Eccentric Cut-Out Portion Adapted To Fit Over The Supporting Member. The Inter Wall Of The Cut-Out Portion And The Outer Wall Of The Supporting Member Can Be Formed With Interference Fittings So That The Lateralization Member Can Rotate In Relation To The Supporting Member To Provide A Variable Lateralization.
