1. A surgical universal headrest comprising:
a body having a dorsal surface, a ventral surface, a first lateral end, a second lateral end, a caudal end, and a cephalic end, the body having a horizontal axis therethrough, the body having a vertical axis therethrough, the horizontal axis being perpendicular to the vertical axis, the body having a medial line between the first lateral end and the second lateral end;
a first lateral wing having a first ventral side, a first dorsal side, a first proximal side, a first distal side, a first caudal side, and a first cephalic side, the first lateral wing slidably connected at the first proximal side to the first lateral end of the body, the first lateral wing having a first range of lateral sliding motion with respect to the body;
the first lateral wing having a first trough defined by a first sidewall with a first floor, the first trough being disposed on the first dorsal side of the first lateral wing;
a first arm including a first elongated slot with a first glide therein to moveably secure the first arm to the first trough, the first arm having a first range of proximal-to-distal motion with respect to the medial line;
a second lateral wing having a second ventral side, a second dorsal side, a second proximal side, a second distal side, a second caudal side, and a second cephalic side, the second lateral wing slidably connected at the second proximal side to the second lateral end of the body, the second lateral wing having a second range of lateral sliding motion with respect to the body;
the second lateral wing having a second trough defined by a second sidewall with a second floor, the second trough being disposed on the second dorsal side of the second lateral wing;
a second arm including a second elongated slot with a second glide therein to moveably secure the second arm to the second trough, the second arm having a second range of proximal-to-distal motion with respect to the medial line;
the body, the first lateral wing, the first arm, the second arm, and the second lateral wing, in cooperative combination, defining a support perimeter of adjustable size having an opening therethrough; and
a premature infant insert secured to the support perimeter of adjustable size in a collapsed position, the premature infant insert adapted to reduce the opening to a size to accommodate an eye-nose-mouth region of a premature infant.
