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.
For procedures that require the head to be immobilised, especially for image guided interventions and diagnostics on and around the patient's head such as CT guided cervical nerve root injection procedures, cerebral angiographies, and mechanical endovascular interventions.
For procedures that require the head to be immobilised, especially for image guided interventions and diagnostics on and around the patient's head such as neuro-imaging through angiography or CT.
Manufactured from radiolucent materials, the Head Immobiliser will produce minimal artefact during imaging, providing improved imaging diagnostics during conscious sedation.
Immobilisation in seconds using vacuum suction, it comfortably supports a patient’s head while locked rigid around the head.
Flexible hood design can accommodate different head shapes and sizes.

Is it radiolucent?
Yes.
What is the aluminium equivalence?
The Head Immobiliser has an Aluminium Equivalence of 2.23mm when measured through the centre of the Hood Assembly.
Will it fit within my CT/ MRI Bore?
The support is designed to fit within a 70cm bore.
How long does the device hold its vacuum?
While the Head Immobiliser can hold for at least 24 hours, we do recommend releasing the vacuum every two hours for optimal immobilisation and to check patient comfort.
How do we keep the hood clean between procedures?
A drape can be used on top of the hood assembly before each procedure.
How long should we evacuate the hood for to ensure optimal immobilisation and patient comfort?
We recommend 10 seconds of vacuum suction.
