  • Publication number: 20230076366
    Abstract: A head stabilization system including a head restraint mechanism and a head harness configured to engage a head of a patient. The head restraint mechanism is configured to be operatively disposed on a patient support device and includes a generally vertically upstanding arcuate tilt guide. The head harness is releasably attachable to and at least partially supported by the head restraint mechanism. The head harness is selectively repositionable generally vertically relative to the tilt guide. The head restraint mechanism is configured to stabilize the head harness relative to the patient support device. The head restraint mechanism is configured to selectively allow lateral flexion of a neck of the patient, lateral rotation of the head of the patient, and extension and flexion of the neck of the patient.

  • Publication number: 20060025801
    Abstract: A medical device for placing an embolic device, such as an embolic coil, at a predetermined site within a vessel of the body including a delivery catheter and a flexible pusher member movably disposed within the catheter. An embolic device is detachably coupled to the pusher member and is retained in place on the distal end of the pusher member by a detachment filament. When the embolic device is advanced to the predetermined site within the vessel, the detachment filament is decoupled from the embolic device to thereby release the embolic device.
