7.7 Selection Of Head Support Method

7.7.1 Prior to the patient transfer, the surgeon should select the desired method
of support for the patient's head. The chosen method determines the next
step of preparation.
Five (5) options are available:
OPTION #1 Support the patient's head using a GentleTouch
provided in the patient care kit (Mizuho OSI P/N 5808), in conjunction with
the head support plate. This pillow is available separately as (Mizuho OSI
P/N 1937 or 1927) (see Figure 39). Once removed from the patient care
kit, this pillow requires 20 minutes for complete expansion.
OPTION #2 Use skull tongs or horseshoe headrest in conjunction with the Mizuho OSI
