● Craniotomy Box in Post-Mortem Room

Even though we performed the post-mortem inside a biosafety level 3 post-mortem
room with negative pressure, there is still a risk to do an aerosolized procedure such as
post-mortem craniotomy. In Hospital Kuala Lumpur, we devised a craniotomy box to

protect the operator during the post-mortem craniotomy. The craniotomy box is
made of a transparent plastic. This method protects the operator from exposed to the
dust produced by post-mortem craniotomy procedure.
