ABSTRACT:
A three-point cervical fixation device for a human patient, having a vertical support device extending substantially parallel to the patient's spine, the support having upper and lower ends adjacent the head and torso of the patient, respectively. The upper end of the support means is connected with the patient's head by a first connecting device, and a second connecting device connects a lower portion of the support device with the torso of the patient. A force-applying device connected with the support applies a force to the patient intermediate the first and the second connecting devices in a direction generally away from the support, thereby to stabilize the patient's spine.
