MRI Knee Wedge Pad, Fits Philips, Siemens, Toshiba - 19.5"x28.2"x8"

Primary Purpose: Elevates and supports patients' legs during MRI procedures

Patient Positions:

• Primarily used for supine (lying on back) positioning
• Can be used with the patient's knees bent or straight depending on the examination
• Supports semi-Fowler's position for patients with respiratory difficulties or back pain

Positioning Technique:

• Place the wedge under the patient's legs with the higher end positioned under the knees
• The gradual slope supports the natural curvature of the legs
• For knee examinations, position the wedge to achieve optimal knee flexion
• For lumbar spine imaging, position to reduce lordosis and open intervertebral spaces
• Can be used with additional positioning aids for comprehensive patient support

Special Considerations:

• The wide design (49.5 cm) accommodates patients of various sizes
• The 20.3 cm height provides significant elevation for optimal positioning
• The 71.6 cm length ensures full support of the legs from knees to ankles

Commonly Used MRI Scan Types

• Lumbar spine MRI examinations
• Knee MRI examinations
• Lower extremity MRI (ankle, foot, leg)
• Pelvic MRI examinations
• Abdominal MRI examinations where patient comfort is critical
• Any MRI procedure requiring leg elevation to reduce strain on the lower back
• Procedures requiring extended scan times where patient comfort is essential

Antimicrobial Protection: 

Contains a permanent antimicrobial agent in the fabric that prevents growth of harmful bacteria, including MRSA.

Material Safety:

• MRI-safe materials that do not interfere with imaging
• Latex-free construction
• Meets CTB 133 flammability requirements
• Does not contain polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), formaldehyde chemicals or other harmful chemicals

Cleaning and Maintenance:

• Easily cleaned and disinfected to prevent patient cross-contamination
• Durable construction designed for long-term clinical use

Enhanced Patient Comfort: The gradual slope design reduces strain on the lower back and improves blood circulation in the legs

Improved Image Quality:

• Reduces patient movement during scans by providing stable support
• Helps maintain consistent positioning throughout lengthy procedures
• Reduces the need for rescans due to patient movement

Superior Construction:
Made of urethan fabric that does not cause sweat and is soft against the patient. Viscoelastic memory foam core provides optimal support while conforming to patient anatomy.

Made in the USA: Manufactured domestically with quality materials
