FP29 45° Spinal Wedge - Plain Foam

High-Stability Lateral Support for Spinal and Torso Imaging

The FP29 45° Spinal Wedge is a fundamental positioning tool designed to provide consistent, high-stability angulation for the torso and spine. Manufactured from premium-grade, open-cell blue foam, this extended wedge is the "gold standard" for maintaining true oblique or lateral positions during complex radiographic examinations.

Clinical Utility & Applications

The 60cm length is specifically designed to support the entire length of the adult spine, ensuring uniform alignment from the sacrum to the cervicothoracic junction.

• Oblique Spinal Imaging: Provides the precise 45° tilt required for oblique views of the lumbar and thoracic spine, allowing for clear visualisation of the zygapophyseal joints and pars interarticularis.

• Lateral Decubitus Stability: Acts as a firm posterior buffer for patients positioned on their side, preventing "roll" and ensuring a true lateral projection for chest or abdominal imaging.

• Total Radiolucency: Composed of pure, uncoated foam, the FP29 is 100% radiolucent. It produces no surface shadows or "ghosting" artefacts, which is vital for the high-detail imaging required in spinal diagnostics.
