32. Jeweler's Screws:

 

Clean the skull of any bleeding from the skull holes and then turn in the jeweler's screws. 

Care should be taken to turn in only about 1 mm in depth. 

This is far enough for them to be firmly anchored but not so deep that they will depress the dura and the surface of the brain.
