Head Immobiliser

A radiolucent, secure, and comfortable head support for image guided procedures in interventional radiology and neuroradiology.

Overview

The Adept Medical Head Immobiliser is the ideal radiolucent support for image guided procedures on and around the patient’s head. It comfortably supports, secures, and positions the head for a range of clinical applications. Compatible with most imaging tables, the Head Immobiliser provides comfortable head positioning and immobilisation in seconds through a vacuum suction system, reducing movement during image guided procedures. This allows interventions to be performed under optimal conditions, providing benefits to patient management, imaging quality, and procedural workflow.

The Head Immobiliser has a flexible hood design that can be used for different head shapes and sizes. Equipped with an adjustable joint, the head support can be adjusted for height, or rotated to a more ideal position, allowing the patient to be positioned to suit procedural requirements.

Manufactured in New Zealand using carbon fibre components, the Head Immobiliser is lightweight, durable, and radiolucent, with an aluminium equivalence of 2.23mm, providing minimal interference with X-Ray imaging.
