Lateral Foot Imaging Step
he Lateral Foot Imaging Step - Basic is an essential clinical tool designed to facilitate safe, high-quality weight-bearing radiographs. Engineered with a focus on patient security and ergonomic workflow, this step provides a stable platform for standing lateral foot, AP ankle, and lateral ankle examinations.
Maximum Patient Security
Weight-bearing exams can be challenging for patients with mobility issues or injuries. This imaging step is specifically designed to provide multiple points of contact, ensuring the patient feels stable and supported throughout the procedure.
Triple Support System: Features double handrails plus a frontal crossbar, providing a 360-degree sense of security.
Non-Slip Surfaces: Equipped with low-slip treads to prevent accidental slips or falls during mounting and dismounting.
Certified Stability: The design has been rigorously tested to meet the structural requirements of EN14183 Stepstools, ensuring a robust and reliable platform for patients of various sizes.
Optimised for Radiographic Workflow
Universal Compatibility: The 400mm step height is specifically engineered to align with the minimum height requirements of most modern X-ray tubes, allowing for easy centering on the anatomy.
Multipurpose Utility: While optimized for lateral feet, the configuration also supports standing AP and Lateral Ankle views, depending on your specific X-ray equipment setup.
Integrated Positioning: The set includes a closed-cell foam lateral foot block (FP40L), ensuring the foot is correctly elevated and stabilized for a clear lateral projection.
Ergonomic Mobility
Despite its sturdy construction, the Lateral Foot Imaging Step is remarkably easy to maneuver within the X-ray suite.
Tilt-and-Go Castors: The step features a clever "tilt" design. When the unit is upright, it remains firmly planted on the floor for maximum stability. To relocate, simply tilt the unit back, and the integrated castors make contact with the floor for effortless transport.
Clinical Hygiene: The smooth surfaces and closed-cell foam block are designed for easy cleaning with standard hospital-grade disinfectants.
