Indications For Use
The ReSolve is recommended for use in traumatic or chronic disorders requiring traction
along the cervical spine to align the vertebral structures (reduce deformities), maintain
reduction, or provide stabilization. Indications include cervical spine trauma or surgery.
ConTRAIndICATIonS
The ReSolve Halo should not be used under any conditions where pressure to the skull
would not be tolerated. When used as part of a traction system (i.e. with weights), the halo
should also not be used when the stability of the cervical spine will not permit traction
loads.

pRE-ApplICATIon
1. Lay the patient supine.
2. Measure patient's head circumference to determine ring size. Measure at the
greatest circumference of the skull (about 1 cm above the ears)(Figure 1). See sizing
chart (Figure 2) for correct size halo ring. The ring should be large enough to allow
for cleaning with approximately 1 to 1.5 cm between the ring and skull. (Figure 3)
3. Remove pillows from behind the head. Maintain c-spine alignment by supporting
the patient's head off the end of the table using a head positioner (option 1)(Figure
4a) or by using a bolster (option 2)(Figure 4b). Remove pillows from behind the
head.
4. Select appropriate pin sites based on "safe zone" recommendations and shave
posterior pin sites. Anterior skull pins should be positioned as low as possible in
the lateral one-third area above the eyebrow. Posterior skull pins should be
positioned 1 cm posterior to the tip of the ear (Figure 5).
Caution: be careful to avoid the supraorbital ridge, supraorbital nerves,
temporalis muscle, temporal bone, frontal sinus, and/or any possible fracture
site.
