Stenson Blocks - FP59 C-Spine Immobilisation Pad - Wipeable Cover

Specialist Cranial Stabilisation for Critical Care Imaging

The FP59 Stenson Blocks are precision-engineered immobilisation aids designed specifically for the high-stakes environment of trauma radiography. Developed in collaboration with Oxford University Hospitals, these wedges provide a robust and reliable method for stabilising the head and cervical spine of trauma patients during essential diagnostic imaging.

Clinically Proven Trauma Design

Sold as a matched pair, the Stenson Blocks feature a unique geometry (24 x 15 x 13 cm) optimized for lateral cranial stabilisation.

• Oxford University Hospitals Heritage: Designed by leading clinical experts to meet the rigorous demands of Major Trauma Centres.

• Rapid Immobilisation: The angled "wedge" profile allows for instant, firm placement on either side of the head, effectively minimising lateral rotation and involuntary movement.

• Radiolucent Performance: Constructed from high-density, fully radiolucent materials to ensure that the blocks do not obscure critical anatomy or create artifacts on life-saving trauma radiographs or CT scans.

Infection Control & Hygiene

• Easy-Clean Surface: Featuring a high-performance, medical-grade technical coating that is 100% fluid-proof.

• Decontamination Ready: The non-porous exterior is resistant to blood, saline, and aggressive hospital-grade disinfectants, ensuring the blocks can be rapidly sanitised between high-priority cases.
