Abstract
A patient positioning device is provided for restraining movement of a body lying over a top surface of a table. The device includes a cervical-thoracic notch restraint that includes a base with a first side and an opposed second side. The first side defines a substantially flat plane with a repositionable fastener, and the second side defines a substantially flat plane with a raised, curved support extending transversely across the base. In an operational state, the curved support is configured to nest into an anatomical cervical-thoracic notch of the body lying over the table to abut a trapezius muscle of the body. In one example, a rigid support frame extends transversely over the top surface of the table, and the cervical-thoracic notch restraint is securely fixed to the upper support surface of the support frame.
