Abstract: A stabilized cephalic medical apparatus includes an annular band for placement around a patient's head, and a pivotally adjustable bridge member for holding and supporting a medical instrument. The bridge member according to the invention is attachable to the annular band, and is preferably removable therefrom for cleaning and sterilization thereof. The bridge member is preferred to include a mounting member for supporting a medical instrument thereon, and a connector for connecting the mounting member to the annular band. The apparatus may further include a medical instrument attachable to the bridge member. The design of the apparatus according to the invention allows a medical instrument, such as a nasal speculum or retractor, to be operatively attached to, and to move concurrently with the patient.
