Trendelenburg patient restraint for surgery tables

A patient positioning device for restraining movement of a body lying over a top surface of a table, comprising:

• a rigid support frame secured to and extending transversely over the top surface of said table, comprising an upper support surface and a repositionable fastener secured to the upper support surface;
• and
• a cervical-thoracic notch restraint including a load-bearing resilient foam material and securely fixed to the upper support surface of the support frame, via the repositionable fastener, to thereby inhibit movement of the cervical-thoracic notch restraint along a longitudinal axis of said table, comprising:
• a base with a first side and a second side, the first side comprising a repositionable fastener compatible with the repositionable fastener of the upper support surface, and
• the second side defining a substantially flat plane with a first extended portion and a second extended portion, and comprising a raised, curved support located between the first and second extended portions and comprising a mound prominently extending upwards from the second side of the base that, in an operational state, is configured to nest into an anatomical cervical-thoracic notch of said body lying over said table and abut a trapezius muscle of said body to thereby apply a resisting force against the trapezius muscle and a spinal column of said body that is sufficient to substantially completely resist movement of said body along the longitudinal axis of said table,
• wherein the resilient foam material of the cervical-thoracic notch restraint is sufficiently load-bearing to maintain contact with the trapezius muscle of said body and support a force of at least 450 pounds directed along the longitudinal axis of said table when the top surface of said table is oriented in an inclined position relative to a ground surface.
