Abstract
A prone head support includes a cushion to support a face of a patient in a prone position. The cushion has a cutout to accommodate the patient's eyes, nose, and mouth. A shell cradles the cushion and has downwardly extending bosses. The shell has an opening beneath the cutout. A tray includes a base panel and upstanding posts molded integrally with the base panel. A knob is threaded onto each upstanding post and each knob is rotatable relative to the upstanding post to move upwardly and downwardly along the respective upstanding post. The bosses of the shell rest on the knobs such that the shell is able to be freely lifted upwardly off of the knobs regardless of the position of the knobs along the respective upstanding posts.
