Mizuho OSI has been named exclusive worldwide distributor of the ProneView® Protective Helmet and Mirror System manufactured by Dupaco of Oceanside, CA. The ProneView® System safely cradles the patient's head during surgical procedures that require prone patient positioning. The system consists of a molded plastic helmet, a soft cushion insert and a reflective, adjustable mirror base. The ProneView® System gives the anesthesiologist an unprecedented view of the patient's eyes during prone procedures. This allows verification of the patient's condition and significantly reduces the risk of eye injury. The system is widely used with Jackson Spinal Tables and Wilson Frames, both products of Mizuho OSI.
