Abstract
The invention relates to a head support (10, 100) for operating tables, comprising a rotatably mounted first holding element (12) for surrounding a first side of a patient's head receivable in a receiving area (32) and an also rotatably mounted second holding element (14) for surrounding a second side of the head. The two holding elements (12, 14) are coupled to each other in a coupling area by means of a coupling element (16) such that when one of the holding elements (12, 14) is rotated, the coupling element (16) also rotates the other holding element (12, 14). Between the coupling area and the receiving area (32) a stationarily arranged supporting element (33) for supporting the head receivable in the receiving area (32) is provided.
