Sedation is no longer necessary for infant and child MRI scans with the MedVac vacuum immobilization bag. This innovative system securely fastens around the patient to restrict movement, reducing the need for repeat scans. The MedVac’s air-tight, chambered bag is filled with small, evenly spaced beads. To use, simply wrap the bag around the infant, secure the straps, connect the bag to the pump, and evacuate the air. The bag will become rigid around the infant without applying pressure. After the scan, release the valve to allow the bag to refill with air, then remove the straps. The MedVac’s unique, patented multi-chambered system makes it ideal for MRI use. Thin, flexible, and easy to apply, the system comfortably stabilizes the patient during the scan, ensuring optimal first-time images.
