Apparatus for the stabilization of head position

An apparatus formed to fix a thermoplastic mask to a patient, the apparatus comprising:

• a member having a teeth-receiving portion formed to be positioned adjacent to a cranio facial bone of the patient,
• a fixation member coupled to the member, the fixation member including a plate and a fastener,
• a distinct fastener plate formed for coupling with the fastener to couple the mask to the fixation member so that the member is in a fixed position relative to the mask, and
• a lower plate member positioned adjacent to the member wherein the lower plate member includes a tongue block plate formed with a channel therein.

An apparatus formed to fix a thermoplastic mask to a patient, the apparatus comprising:

• a mouthpiece member,
• a fixation member coupled to the mouthpiece member, the fixation member including a plate and at least one fastener extending away from the plate,
• a distinct fastener plate formed for attachment with the at least one fastener so that the mask is coupled between the pate and the fastener plate, and
• a lower plate member positioned adjacent to the mouthpiece member, wherein the lower plate member includes a tab and a tongue block plate spaced-apart from the tab.

An assembly formed to immobilize a patient's skull during a medical procedure, the assembly comprising:

• a mouthpiece member,
• a fixation member coupled to the mouthpiece member, the fixation member including a plate and at least one fastener extending away from the plate,
• a thermoplastic mask formed to be coupled to the fixation member and extending across the plate, so that the mouthpiece member is in a fixed position relative to the mask, and
• a lower plate member positioned adjacent to the mouthpiece member and coupled to the fixation member, wherein the lower plate member includes a tab coupled to the plate.
