Description

Headrest for surgery}

The present invention relates to a surgical headrest, and more specifically, to a surgical headrest in which the position of the head portion can be more easily adjusted.

In the case of surgery targeting all or part of the head, the position of the patient's head needs to be adjusted depending on the patient and the operator. In particular, in the case of ophthalmic surgery such as cataract, glaucoma, and retinal surgery, the patient's head needs to be fixed to an appropriate position for patient convenience and ease of surgery.

In the case of conventional surgical headrests, they are typically formed integrally with the operating table bed or are additionally mounted on the operating table. In this case, the position of the head portion where the patient's head rests can mostly be changed by the operator manually adjusting the joints, and can be fixed by manipulating the serrated band.

However, this type of headrest requires a lot of physical force to change the position of the head, making it difficult to precisely adjust the position. In addition, there are limitations in readjusting the position of the head during surgery.

Therefore, the development of a surgical headrest that can more easily adjust the position of the head portion may be considered.
