Abstract: A support for the head of a patient lying in a generally prone position. The support features a tray adapted for support on an underlying operating table surface. A plurality of pins projecting from an engagement with the tray are positioned to engage and suspend either a cushion directly or a cushion engaged in a casing. The pins may be adjusted to raise or lower the engaged cushion or casing. A mirror is also provided to view a patient's eyes through slots in the cushion and casing engaged over a patient's face.

Abstract: A laryngoscope and viewing system configured to provide imaging of a patient's airway passage during intubation is described. In one embodiment, the described device includes a handle; a blade attached to the handle, a flange attached to one side of the blade; a transmission cable connected to the opposite side of the blade; and a camera connected to the transmission cable, wherein the camera is offset from the blade in at least one of the X plane and the Y plane.

Abstract: A protective helmet apparatus of modular construction to be worn by anesthetized patients for facial support during surgery. The helmet apparatus is assembled using one of a plurality of interchangeable, substantially transparent helmet casings, which are removably attachable to a plurality of dismountable facial cushions providing even support to the facial surface of a patient. The removable facial cushions are dimensioned on and interior surface to accommodate different sized facial structures of different patients to yield maximum pressure diffusion on the face and chin of the patient and are replaceable when worn. The exterior surface of the facial cushions are dimensioned for cooperative engagement with the interior surface of the helmet casing. A plurality of different facial cushions and helmet casings are modular in design and dimension to be interchangeable with each other thus providing accommodate the broad differences in facial structure and size of patients using them for surgery.

Abstract: A protective helmet apparatus of modular construction to be worn by anesthetized patients during surgery . The helmet is assembled using one of a plurality of interchangeable helmet casings which is removably attached to one of a plurality of dismountable chin supports. Removable ocular and chin support cushions chosen from a set of interchangeable ocular and chin support cushions are mountable to the interior face of the helmet casing and chin support. The removable cushions contact the allow for optimum sizing of the apparatus to face of the patient providing padding and maximum disbursement of weight and pressure of the head over a wide area of the patient's face and head. The cushions and helmet casing and chin support are modular in design and dimension to be interchangeable with each other thus providing accommodation for broad differences in facial structure and size of patients using them for surgery.
