Variable attachment for the Mayfield head rest to fit on a Halo ring in the surgery of cervical spine injuries.
A small device is described helping to attach a Mayfield head rest to a patient who is already in a Halo device for a cervical spine injury. This makes it very easy to position the patient prior to anesthesia for performing cervical spine surgery.
