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. Mounts and passages are optionally provided for communicating tubes supplying the patient with life support as well as wiring for sensors monitoring the patient. Additionally, a rotatable handle may be mounted upon the apparatus for use during patient movement on or off of the operating table.
