Lateral Knee Block - Closed Cell Foam

Precision Positioning for Lateral Knee Radiography

The FP39L Lateral Knee Block is a specialised positioning aid designed to streamline the imaging process for lateral knee projections. Engineered for both patient comfort and technical precision, this block ensures the knee remains stable and correctly orientated, allowing for high-diagnostic clarity with every exposure.

Clinical Design & Comfort

• Chamfered Edges: The block features carefully angled, chamfered edges. This design serves a dual purpose: it provides a more comfortable interface for the patient’s limb and allows the radiographer to manoeuvre the block into tight positions with greater ease.

• Integrated 15mm Slot: Specifically engineered with a 15mm slot width, this block provides a secure housing for cassettes or DR panels, maintaining the necessary alignment for a true lateral view.

• Optimal Stability: The 120mm height ensures the limb is sufficiently elevated to prevent anatomical superimposition, ensuring the joint space is clearly visualised.

Technical Excellence & Hygiene

• Closed-Cell Foam Construction: Crafted from high-density, closed-cell foam. Unlike open-cell alternatives, this material does not absorb fluids, making it 100% waterproof and remarkably easy to clean.

• Infection Control Friendly: The non-porous surface is highly resistant to standard hospital-grade disinfectants and the rigours of frequent daily scrubbing, ensuring a long clinical lifespan.

• Radiolucent Properties: The material is designed to be radiolucent, minimising artefacts on the final image and ensuring the focus remains entirely on the diagnostic anatomy.
