Head/neck procedure positioners are reusable medical devices designed to stabilize and support a patient’s head, neck, and cervical spine during surgeries or diagnostic imaging. They ensure precise positioning—critical for procedures like brain or cervical spine surgery, as well as imaging such as dental X-rays—while reducing movement and risk of injury.
These devices are typically mounted on surgical or examination tables and feature adjustable components for height, angle, and alignment. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, with compliance requirements ensuring safety and performance in clinical settings.
