Low Head Rest - Plain Foam

The FP14 Low Head Rest is a specialised positioning aid designed for examinations requiring subtle elevation of the head. Manufactured from premium-grade, open-cell white foam, this compact block provides a stable yet gentle interface, ensuring the patient remains perfectly still while maintaining a neutral anatomical position.

Clinical Utility & Applications

The 8cm height of the FP14 makes it the ideal choice for "low-profile" positioning where a standard pillow or higher block would cause over-flexion of the cervical spine.

• Cranial & Facial Imaging: Provides the necessary clearance for AP and lateral views of the skull, sinuses, or facial bones, allowing the radiographer to align the interpupillary or orbitomeatal lines with precision.

• Paediatric Positioning: The compact dimensions (25 x 10 x 8 cm) are perfectly scaled for smaller patients, providing appropriate support without overwhelming the imaging field.

• Subtle Extremity Elevation: Beyond headwork, the FP14 is frequently used to provide a slight lift for the wrist, hand, or ankle, helping to clear the anatomy from the imaging table and reduce superimposition.

Technical Excellence

• 100% Radiolucent: Composed of pure, uncoated foam, the FP14 is entirely radiolucent. It produces no surface shadows or "ghosting" artefacts, ensuring the highest level of diagnostic clarity for bone and soft tissue.

• Pressure-Relieving Support: The open-cell foam is engineered to provide firm support while conforming slightly to the patient's anatomy, reducing tremors and increasing patient cooperation.
