Abstract
A support assembly for the head and neck of a patient. The assembly includes a concave shaped, conformable (e.g., a resilient foamed plastic) cushion, a holder for the cushion and a conformable, curable (e.g., thermoplastic) cover sheet. The cover sheet is heated to soften it, whereupon it can be disposed over the cushion so that the patient's head and neck can be impressed into it to conform to the contour of the head and neck. The cover sheet is then cured to permanently retain its shape. A conventional conformable mask can be used to conform it to the face of the patient whose head and neck is supported on the support assembly, thereby resulting in a combination that immobilizes the head and neck.
