Oakworks Spinal Positioning System and Pain Management Package OW-SPS

Oakworks Spinal Positioning System and Pain Management Package , OW-SPS



PRIMARY ADVANTAGES OF THE SPINE POSITIONING SYSTEM:

No metal (radiopaque) components are present under the spine- unobstructed visibility of the entire spine from C0-C1 to the coccyx with all imaging angles (AP, oblique and lateral). All radiopaque components are placed proximal to the forehead.
Adjustment easily made to maximize opening and imaging of the cervico-thoracic junction.
Secure and easy to use single locking face rest mechanism to adjust cervical flexion, extension and height.
Torso pad elevation under the chest allows for the shoulders to drop out of the plane of imaging when obtaining a lower cervical and upper thoracic lateral and oblique views.
Adequate free space under open air face section for aeration, supplemental O2, jaw/face contact as necessary; prevents patient overheating and easy communication with the patient without sound muffling.
Contoured torso support allows the shoulders to drop yet be adducted/slightly extended next to the body for comfort where they are also less likely to lose position/fall off the fluoroscopic table.
Current design obviates the need to pull the arms back to the side to obtain imaging of the cervico-thoracic junction; the more comfortable adducted and slightly extended position suffices.
Adequate adjuster pads to maximize torso build up for larger frame patients.
Not only for cervical cases; also useful for thoracic and lumbar cases.
Comfortable for patients with cervical pain when longer duration thoracic and lumbar cases are performed.
Softer foam under the breasts and shoulders for comfort; firmer central foam for enhanced stability.
Wider and longer torso pad gives extra support resulting in less sway and improved patient comfort.
Torso pad with abdominal recess for extra comfort and support.
All prone positioning needs met with the SPS; no need for additional pillows.
Very firm adjuster wedges prevent undue compression and loss of the original position.
