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.

The square foam patient positioner is designed to provide reliable support and precise positioning during imaging procedures, helping maintain patient comfort and stability throughout the exam. Although commonly used for knee separation, it is also suitable for a variety of other positioning applications. Constructed from high-density urethane foam, it provides medium firmness for dependable support and can be easily cleaned between patient uses. Available in either 2- or 3-inch heights.

Features:

  • Comfortable 2- or 3-inch foam provides stable support and accurate positioning
  • Reliable positioning support for improved patient comfort
  • Durable, fluid-resistant cover is easy to clean and quick to dry
  • Available in multiple sizes for a secure, comfortable fit
  • MR Safe

Overall Dimensions:

  • PA-705: 14"L x 14"W x 2"H, 1 lb.
  • PA-706: 14"L x 14"W x 3"H, 1 lb.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a decubitus positioner used for?

A decubitus positioner helps support and stabilize patients during imaging procedures. While commonly used for knee separation, it can also be used for positioning the hips, ankles, shoulders, and other areas where additional support is needed.

Why are positioning aids important during MRI exams?

Comfortable patients are more likely to remain still during an exam. Positioning aids help reduce movement, improve stability, and support consistent patient positioning throughout the imaging process.

How do I choose between the 2-inch and 3-inch versions?

The best size depends on the amount of support or separation required for the specific patient and exam. Many imaging departments keep multiple heights available to accommodate different positioning needs and imaging protocols.
