Positioning Aids - Orthopedics
Multipurpose
The size of the coil halves enables imaging of the whole hand and wrist. A special positioning aid, in which the bottom coil half can be placed, creates a stable and flat surface to put the hand on. If needed, the second coil half can be put on top of the hand.
Elbow
For smaller elbows (e.g. kids) a single coil half can be used to be wrapped around the elbow. This coil half can then be fixated using Velcro® strips.
For bigger elbows, the size adjustable positioning aid can be used.
Shoulder
A special sloped positioning device allows comfortable support on the lower coil half.
Knee, Foot and Ankle
The stageless adjustment of the positioning device allows for proper support of patients with a body size of up to 2.1 m and for knees with high or low volume. The flexible design also allows imaging in flexed and stretched position. Furthermore, an optional supporting element for imaging in flexed position is available.
