FP18 Adult Skull Block - Plain Foam

Specialised Support for Comprehensive Cranial Imaging

The FP18 Adult Skull Block is a precision-engineered positioning aid designed to facilitate accurate and repeatable imaging of the adult skull, sinuses, and facial bones. Manufactured from premium-grade, open-cell white foam, this block provides a stable and comfortable platform that ensures the patient remains perfectly still while maintaining optimal anatomical alignment.

Clinical Utility & Applications

The 25 x 20 cm surface area and 8cm height of the FP18 make it the professional choice for a wide range of cranial projections:

• AP and PA Projections: Provides a firm, level base to support the occiput or forehead, allowing for precise alignment of the orbitomeatal line (OML) or infraorbitomeatal line (IOML) relative to the imaging receptor.

• Sinus & Facial Bone Studies: Offers the necessary elevation to achieve the precise angulations required for Waters’ (occipitomental) or Caldwell views, ensuring diagnostic clarity of the paranasal sinuses.

• Patient Cooperation: The soft, supportive nature of the open-cell foam helps to reduce patient anxiety and tremors, which is essential for the high-resolution imaging required in cranial work.

Technical Excellence

• 100% Radiolucent: Composed of pure, uncoated foam, the FP18 is entirely radiolucent. It produces no surface shadows or "ghosting" artefacts, ensuring the cleanest possible view of the delicate bony structures of the skull.

• Anatomical Stability: The high-density foam provides a non-slip foundation that supports the weight of the adult head without significant compression, maintaining the correct positioning throughout the exposure.
