ENGLISH
Instructions do not supercede physician’s orders or hospital protocol. The order at which you put the vest and
ring on is left to the physician.
caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by, or on the order of, a physician.
A complete ReSolve® Halo system includes a ReSolve® Halo Vest used in combination with a ReSolve® Halo
Ring or Össur Halo Ring (open or closed back versions).
Indications For Use
The ReSolve system 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 system 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.
This product is for single use only
. For your convenience, this product has been supplied sterile
Sterility is guaranteed unless individual package is opened or damaged. Please follow Össur Sterilization
recommendations if product becomes contaminated or requires re-sterilization.
.
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.
RING application
All components used for pin application are provided sterile.
1. 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).
2. Put on gloves.
3. Use antiseptic swabs to clean pin site areas.
4. Position ring on head with the positioning pins. If necessary, move positioning pins to accommodate
access to selected skull pin sites (Figure 6).
5. Check appropriate placement and slope of ring on head (Figure 7). Note: The closed back ring is provided
with a posterior hole to attach to the Össur Universal Halo Adaptor #581 (Mayfield type).
–– Parallel to head to allow perpendicular pin penetration
–– Below largest equator of skull
–– As low as possible without any contact with ears or eyebrows
6. Inject local anesthetic to skull pin sites from either the top or bottom of the ring. You may find it helpful
to hold a pen light up to the ring holes to light the area of pin placement through the halo. Anesthetize
down to the periosteum. Note: Anesthetic without epinephrine should be used in order to avoid necrosing
around the injection site.
7. Patient should close eyes tightly for skull pin application to prevent skin bunching. Thread all skull pins
through halo ring holes until they touch the skin. Then finger tighten all skull pins according to one of the
6
below pin tightening methods. Finally, tighten all skull pins using a torque driver first to 4 in. lbs. and then
to 6 in. lbs. according the same pin tightening method.
note: During pin application, if excessive resistance is felt, the pin may be cross-threaded. Do not force
the pin. Remove the pin, re-align with the threaded hole and apply again. If a sudden drop in torque is
noted, stop and evaluate.
The order of pin tightening can be accomplished by one of two methods; opposing pair method or
posterior-anterior method.
–– Opposing pair: pins opposite to each other are tightened simultaneously (Figure 8). Posterior-anterior:
two posterior pins are tightened followed by the two anterior pins (Figure 9).
* Skull pins should be tightened to 6 in. lbs., as indicated by preset torque driver. If higher or lower torque is
needed, use Össur Adjustable Torque Driver # 575S.
8. Remove positioning pins.
9. Apply and finger-tighten lock nuts. do not use a wrench.
10. After approximately 30 min (or at the end of vest application if halo was applied first) loosen lock nuts,
check skull pin torque, and re-tighten lock nuts. Follow up by checking pin torque 24–36 hours after. Pins
should be maintain a torque setting of 8 in lbs. Retighten skull pins with the torque driver or Adjustable
Torque Driver # 575S as needed.
OPTIONAL/HELPFUL HINTS
traction hoop: Position traction hoop symmetrically on patient and connect to halo on holes not used by
skull pins. The S-hook is then placed through the hole in the top of the traction hoop and used to apply the
appropriate traction load (Figure 10).
J-Tongs: If using Össur J-Tongs in conjunction with the Össur Halo, orient V down to fit around base of tongs
(Figure 11).
aftercare
note: these instructions are directed towards practitioners/physicians applying a halo, and are not intended as patient
care instructions. Refer to Össur Patient Information Manual for patient home hygiene and care instructions.
1. Provide and explain information to patient for daily halo care.
2. Schedule a 24–36 hour follow up visit post-application to check pin tightness and for signs of
complications. Pins should maintain a torque of 8 in lbs. at this time.
3. 3 week visits for liner changes and pin-site inspections should be scheduled. During pin-site inspections,
check for redness, discharge, or other signs of infection.
4. At 4 weeks, pin torque should be maintained to at least 6 in lbs.*
5. At 8 weeks, pin torque should be maintained to at least 4 in lbs. and can remain at that level for the
duration of healing and halo use.*
* These are suggested torques only. Patient’s needs while healing may vary.
