(54)	Head and chin rest for face down operations

(57) face-down operations, a head and chin rest comprises a base (10), a cushioned forehead support (12) pivotably mounted on the base, and a cushioned chin rest - (₁₄) telescopically cantilevered from the forehead support by a pair of thin metal rails (15). This affords both comfortable support for a patient's head and also excellent access to the patient's nose and mouth. Extending from the base are the ends of a generally U-shaped rod (22) to prevent the head and chin rest from tipping.
