FP84 Sandbag: 15 x 60cm 5kg
The FP84 5.0kg Sandbag is the heavy-duty specialist of the Dartex range. Featuring an extended 15 x 60 cm profile, this 5.0kg weight is specifically designed for stabilizing larger anatomical structures and providing significant anchoring during complex radiographic procedures.
Extended Support for Major Limbs and Torso
The FP84 is the ideal solution for stabilizing the femur, pelvis, or lower back. Its 60 cm length allows for consistent, longitudinal pressure across a wide surface area, making it perfect for immobilizing tall or large-framed patients where shorter bags would fail to provide adequate coverage.
Femur & Full-Leg Stabilization: The extended length prevents rotation of the entire leg during hip or femur imaging.
Torso & Pelvic Anchoring: Provides the necessary mass to secure the torso in lateral or oblique positions.
Substantial 5.0kg Weight: Offers maximum gravitational stability for high-movement areas or patients with strong muscle tone.
Engineering for Clinical Durability
Medical-Grade Dartex Fabric: Wrapped in polyurethane-coated technical fabric, the FP84 remains flexible despite its weight. The "multi-stretch" properties ensure the 5.0kg load is distributed evenly across the patient’s limb, avoiding uncomfortable pressure points.
100% Fluid-Proof: Built for the most demanding environments, the FP84 is entirely impermeable to blood, contrast, and other fluids, ensuring the internal weight remains sterile and dry.
Heavy-Duty Hygiene: This bag is designed for the "high-scrub" environment, maintaining its structural integrity even when exposed to aggressive hospital-grade disinfectants and daily mechanical cleaning.
