ABSTRACT:
A device for immobilizing the cranium and cervical spine of a patient comprises an orthosis which is adapted to engage the shoulders and head of the patient and straps for attaching the orthosis to the patient. The orthosis includes a curved shoulder portion for engaging the back of the shoulders of the patient, a V-shaped head portion for engaging the back of the head, and a top portion which extends transversely across the top of the V-shaped head portion. Elastic stabilizing or traction straps extend through the top portion and are secured to the orthosis, and traction or head neck stability can be applied to the patient's head by a halter or skeletal tongs attached to the straps.
