Angled Block - Plain Foam
Soft-Contoured Support for Extremity Radiography
The FP11 Scalloped Block is a specialised positioning aid designed to cradle and stabilise rounded anatomy, such as the wrist, forearm, or ankle. Manufactured from premium-grade, open-cell white foam, this block provides a soft yet firm "channel" that prevents lateral limb movement during the exposure.
Clinical Utility
Contoured Stabilisation: The scalloped (concave) profile is specifically engineered to mirror the natural curvature of the limbs. This is particularly effective for achieving true AP and lateral views of the forearm or lower leg by preventing the limb from rolling.
Patient Comfort: The soft, open-cell foam provides a gentle interface for patients with fractures or sensitive skin, reducing tremors and involuntary movement.
Total Radiolucency: Being composed of pure, uncoated foam, the FP11 offers 100% radiolucency with no risk of surface shadows or artefacts, ensuring the cleanest possible diagnostic image.
