MR Safe What does this mean?
MR Safe

MR Safe – an item that poses no known hazards in all MRI environments. Using the terminology, “MR Safe” items are non-conducting, non-metallic, and non-magnetic items such as a plastic Petri dish. An item may be determined to be MR Safe by providing a scientifically based rationale rather than test data.

MR Conditional

MR Conditional – an item that has been demonstrated to pose no known hazards in a specified MR environment with specified conditions of use. “Field” conditions that define the MR environment include static magnetic field strength, spatial gradient magnetic field, dB/dt (time rate of change of the magnetic field), radio frequency (RF) fields, and specific absorption rate (SAR). Additional conditions, including specific configurations of the item (e.g., the routing of leads used for a neurostimulation system), may be required.

MR Unsafe

MR Unsafe – An item that is known to pose hazards in all MRI environments. MR Unsafe items include magnetic items such as a pair of ferromagnetic scissors.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the MRI safety status of the Curved Knee Wedge?

The Curved Knee Wedge is engineered for use in MRI environments and made from non-metallic, non-conductive materials that don’t interfere with image quality. It can safely be used in MRI Zones III and IV, including during active scanning. Always check your facility’s safety documentation or product labeling to confirm whether your specific unit is MR Conditional and approved for use at the field strengths in your scanners (typically 1.5T or 3T).

2. How does the Curved Knee Wedge improve MRI comfort and image quality?

By gently supporting the knees and promoting neutral spinal alignment, the Curved Knee Wedge reduces muscle tension and patient discomfort. This stability helps minimize motion artifacts, improving image clarity and consistency—especially during longer scans like lumbar spine, abdominal, or pelvic MRI studies.

3. What sizes are available and how do I choose the right one for my MRI suite?

The Curved Knee Wedge comes in two size options:

  • Large (PA-701): 28”L × 21”W × 8”H – best for adult patients or standard MRI tables.
  • Small (PA-702): 22”L × 16”W × 8”H – ideal for smaller patients or limited-space configurations.

Both models offer the same ergonomic curvature and durable construction, designed for repeated use in high-volume MRI departments.

4. What materials are used, and how should the wedge be cleaned?

Each wedge is crafted from high-density, non-magnetic foam with a sealed, medical-grade surface that’s easy to disinfect. It’s compatible with standard hospital-grade cleaners like quaternary ammonium or alcohol-based wipes. Avoid abrasive chemicals or bleach, which can degrade the surface over time.

5. How quickly can the Curved Knee Wedge be shipped, and what’s the return policy?

Most stocked Curved Knee Wedges ship within 48 hours (Monday–Friday, PST) via UPS, FedEx, or freight, depending on order size. Returns are accepted within 30 days of shipment for unused products in original condition, with approval and a standard restocking fee. Damaged or incomplete shipments should be reported within 48 hours for prompt resolution.
