Child Skull Block - Plain Foam

Gentle, Low-Profile Support for Paediatric Imaging

The FP19 Child Skull Block is a precision-engineered positioning aid specifically scaled for paediatric patients. Manufactured from premium-grade, open-cell white foam, this block provides a soft and stable platform for imaging the smaller anatomy of children’s skulls, facial bones, and sinuses, ensuring they remain comfortable and still throughout the procedure.

Clinical Utility & Applications

The 5cm height of the FP19 is meticulously chosen to prevent over-flexion of a child’s neck, which can occur with larger adult-sized blocks.

• Paediatric Cranial Imaging: Provides the correct elevation to align the paediatric skull for AP, PA, and lateral projections, facilitating the accurate alignment of radiographic baselines.

• Sinus & Facial Studies: Ideal for supporting the head during specialised views of the paranasal sinuses, ensuring the child remains in the correct diagnostic position.

• Anxiety Reduction: The soft, non-intimidating texture of the open-cell foam helps to comfort younger patients, reducing tremors and movement that can lead to repeat exposures.

Technical Excellence

• 100% Radiolucent: Composed of pure, uncoated foam, the FP19 is entirely radiolucent. It produces no surface shadows or artefacts, which is vital when imaging the delicate, developing bony structures of a child.

• Total Safety: Lightweight and free from hard edges, ensuring a safe and gentle interface for even the youngest patients.
