Abstract
A forehead pad that includes a base member having a first side adapted to be coupled to a forehead support member. The pad also includes a patient contacting member having a first side adapted to contact a surface of a patient. A neck portion couples a second side of the base member and a second side of the first patient contacting member. The neck portion includes at least one cutout to allow at least a portion of the first patient contacting member to move relative to the base member so that the patient contacting portion of the pad is self-aligning with the surface of the patient even if the base member is not parallel with the surface of the patient.
