Dedicated pads to easily reduce the risk of RF-induced burns caused by "near field"/proximity effect or by formation of conductive tissue loops.
Co-developed with Dr. Frank Shellock.
The pads stop conduction loops between limbs, the gantry, or cables – even for large patients and small bores.
Thanks to a smooth outer surface, the pads glide easily along the gantry.
The easily disinfectable surface favours the safety and well-being of the patient.
Reduce the risk of RF-induced burns from touching the bore of the MR system.
Compatible with all MRIs with 60-70 cm diameter bore size. The width is adjustable using the black velcro patches.
The ProFoam Plates fit between the limbs, avoiding skin-to-skin contact.
