This sponge is designed to assist technologists in positioning patients for cross-table lateral examinations. The decubitus pad ensures that the patient is elevated into a position above the plane of the imaging receptor for adequate imaging of the targeted body part. Provides excellent support and spine correction for laterals and decubitus views. This product is radiolucent but not guaranteed to be artifact free.
These products have officially been verified MR Safe products according to Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment, Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, 2023, and the American Society of Testing and Materials, International, ASTM F2503-23, Standard Practice for Marking Medical Devices and Other Items for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance Environment.
Coated Sponges feature a proprietary medical grade, fluid-resistant, cleanable coating over a standard (core) foam interior. Minimal shadowing with low attenuation. Light green color. Coated sponges are radiolucent.
Non-Stealth Sponges are formed with traditional angles and do not feature our proprietary "flared" angles to offer significantly reduced artifacts during viewing. Non-stealth (or non-flared) sides may show artifacts when imaging, specifically when coating is applied.
