MRI Knee Wedge Pad, Fits Hitachi - 24"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 extra-wide design (24") provides enhanced stability and accommodates larger patients
• The 8" height provides significant elevation for optimal positioning
• The 28.2" length ensures full support of the legs from knees to ankles
• Specifically designed for Hitachi MRI systems but adaptable to other manufacturers

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

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

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
• Extra-wide design provides enhanced stability during positioning

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
