The Halo Vest system provides rigid stabilisation of the cervical spine. It consists of a cranial ring in durable carbon-fibre composite, with four titanium fixation pins, three application guides and a carbon-fibre cervical traction component.
The thoracic vest is moulded polyethylene, lined with soft hypoallergenic synthetic wool, with adjustable titanium uprights for the angle and height of the ring. It helps shorten hospital stay, leaves the upper limbs free, and is compatible with CT and MRI.
