A device is described which is relatively easy to construct and which can be used to protect
brain implants affixed to the skull of large primates. The device is essentially a stainless steel
ring cemented around the brain implant. A plexiglass dome can then be attached to the ring
to protect the implant. Further, a second device can be constructed which attaches to the ring
and which provides gentle leverage to the brain implant to remove adhered obturators.
