Why the Fluid Dam Matters
On a CT table, a fluid spill is more than a mess. It can seep into the table seams and the moving parts underneath, which turns into a cleaning problem and a service risk. The fluid dam is a raised lip around the pad that holds those fluids on the surface, so they stay where you can wipe them up. That protects the scanner, keeps the table area cleaner between cases, and helps the pad last longer.
Features of the Canon Aquilion Table Pad w/Fluid Dam
- Closed-cell foam that is rigid, durable, and fluid-resistant
- Raised fluid dam that contains contrast and other fluids on the pad surface
- Radiolucent, so it does not show up on the CT image
- Shaped to fit the Canon Aquilion CT table
- Latex-free and reusable, built to hold up to daily use
- Works with optional vinyl covers for easier cleaning and less contamination
Built for the Aquilion CT Table
The pad is cut to match the Canon Aquilion CT table, so it sits flat and stays put instead of shifting mid-scan. The closed-cell foam is firm rather than soft, which holds the patient in a steady position and keeps the surface from bottoming out. Because it is radiolucent, none of that support shows up on the image, so you get patient comfort without adding artifact. It fits right into a well-run CT suite alongside your other CT room accessories.
Cleaning and Covers
Closed-cell foam does not soak up fluid, so you can wipe the pad down with a standard surface disinfectant between patients. For a busy CT suite, optional vinyl covers add a second wipe-clean layer and take the wear, which keeps the pad itself in good shape and cuts down on contamination. The pad is reusable, so with basic care, it stays in service for a long time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the fluid dam do?
It is a raised edge around the pad that keeps contrast, prep solution, and other fluids on the surface instead of letting them run onto the CT table. That protects the table and makes cleanup easier.
Will the pad show up on the CT image?
No. The pad is radiolucent, so it does not appear on the scan or add an artifact. You get patient comfort and support without affecting the image.
Can I clean and reuse it?
Yes. The closed-cell foam is fluid-resistant, so you wipe it down with a standard surface disinfectant between patients. It is reusable, and optional vinyl covers make cleaning even simpler.
Does it fit any CT table?
It is shaped specifically for the Canon Aquilion CT table. If you run a different scanner, the fit will not match, so pair the pad with the table it was built for.
