Halo Ring Above Head

Application of a halo and halo vest fixation of the halo to a patient s head relies on a series of four titanium pins which are equally spaced around the ring.

Halo ring above head.

By locking into place the telescoping tube connector buttons the halo safety ring can double as a quad like cane assisting the resident in and out of bed. Pins that go through the metal ring and are screwed into your skull. In free standing medieval sculpture the halo was already shown as a flat disk above or behind the head. Traditionally the halo represents a radiant light around or above the head of a divine or sacred person.

After injection of a local anesthetic the pins are placed in tight connection with the head at two locations on each side generally over the ridge of the orbit and just behind the ear. A movable frame that connects the metal ring to a plastic vest. In earlier paintings of iconic figures rather than a ring of light or gold the halo appeared to be more like it was radiating all around the head of the subject. A plastic vest that supports the frame.

The halo safety ring articulates with raising and lowering the head of the bed enabling the resident to maneuver in the bed while in various positions. A metal ring that circles your head without touching your skull. A washable liner that goes inside the plastic vest to protect your skin. Bit like the ready break kid.
