FP35 Trendelenburg Wedge - Plain Foam
High-Stability Angulation for Specialized Radiography
The FP35 Trendelenburg Wedge is a substantial positioning aid designed to provide steep, consistent angulation for specialized radiographic and fluoroscopic procedures. Manufactured from premium-grade, open-cell white foam, this wedge offers a large-scale support surface to safely incline the patient's torso or lower limbs.
Clinical Utility & Applications
The significant dimensions (43 x 35 x 33 cm) make the FP35 one of the most robust wedges in the range, ideal for procedures requiring a dramatic shift in patient orientation:
Trendelenburg Positioning: Assists in tilting the patient into the Trendelenburg position (head lower than feet), frequently required during fluoroscopic GI studies or to assist in the reduction of certain hernias.
Lower Limb Elevation: The steep incline is perfect for high-elevation requirements, such as promoting venous return or providing clearance for specialized orthopaedic projections of the femur and hip.
Total Radiolucency: Composed of pure, uncoated foam, the FP35 is 100% radiolucent. It produces no surface shadows or "ghosting" artefacts, ensuring the highest level of diagnostic clarity even through thick anatomical sections.
