Abstract
An apparatus for immobilizing the head of a patient during ocular, facial, or dental surgery comprises a flat cushion headrest bordered by a neck-supporting bulge. Adjustable lateral head-clamping arms incorporate padded headphones. A shroud-supporting frame extends obliquely from each side of the headrest over the patient's chest area, and provides a means for mounting ventilation lines and sensors for patient monitoring.
