When treating patients in prone position, such as for pelvis or Craniospinal (CSI) treatment, the Prone Head Support offers the possibility to position the patient’s head in a stable, reproducible way. The head support is adjustable to make it fit for both adult and pediatric patients. It has enough open space to allow comfortable breathing and the use of anesthetic tubes.
This PRONE HEAD SUPPORT is suitable for use in combination with Efficast® thermoplastic precuts and Blocks & Wedges on base plates that have a rectangular cut-out for the head supports. Together with these parts they form a reproducible patient positioning and immobilisation system.
The head support offers the opportunity to position the patient’s head in a stable, reproducible way. The sides of the chin cushion are open and there is a tunnel in this chin cushion to have enough breathing space for the patient to feel comfortable and to allow for the easy use of anaesthetic tubes.
This product consists of a support plate in high pressure laminate with 2 cushions.
The cushion for the chin (1) is fixed.
The cushion for the forehead and nose (2) can be put in 7 different positions to accommodate the differences in patient’s anatomy.
The cushions are made of coated low density PU foam.
This product is MRI-safe.
