Abstract

See full text

For face-down operations, a head and chin rest can stand on the flat bed of an operating table and has a frame including cushioned forehead and chin supports, the frame being pivotable to raise or lower the chin support relative to the forehead support. The forehead and chin supports are spaced to make the patient's face almost fully accessible, and that spacing is adjustable to allow for heads of various sizes. Preferably the base which supports the frame has a rocker base, thus permitting the patient to pivot the head and chin rest with his head to the most comfortable attitude, after which the rocker base can be wedged, such as with a small towel.
