Why Carbon Fiber Works for Head Scans
Carbon fiber gives you two things at once for head imaging. It is stiff and strong, so it holds the weight of the head without flexing, and it is light, so it is easy to lift on and off the table. Just as important, it is radiolucent, which means it does not block the beam or throw a shadow onto a head or neck CT. You get solid support and a clean image from the same part.
Features of the Canon Carbon Fiber Head Holder
- Carbon fiber frame that is strong, light, and radiolucent
- Attaches to the head end of the Canon Aquilion CT table quickly and easily
- Holds and immobilizes the patient’s head for sharp head and neck scans
- Takes foam inserts in adult, child, and infant sizes, sold separately
- Optional open-cell shoulder pad cushions the attachment point, sold separately
- Latex-free and reusable, built for daily CT use
Foam Inserts for Adults, Children, and Infants
The frame does the holding, and the foam inserts do the fitting. Each insert is closed-cell foam that sits inside the holder and cradles the head so it stays put during the scan. Three sizes cover adult, child, and infant patients, so you match the insert to the person on the table. The inserts are sold separately, which means you stock only the sizes your caseload needs. If a patient’s shoulder rests against the attachment point, an optional open-cell foam pad adds a cushion there.
How It Attaches and Cleans
The holder attaches to the head end of the Canon Aquilion table quickly and easily, so setup and takedown are fast between patients. It pairs with the Canon Aquilion table pad on the same table for a full head-to-table setup. The carbon fiber wipes down with a standard surface disinfectant, and the foam inserts clean the same way. Everything is reusable and latex-free, so with routine cleaning, the holder stays in service for a long run of cases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the head holder come with the foam inserts?
No. The carbon fiber frame and the foam inserts are ordered separately. The inserts come in adult, child, and infant sizes, so you pick the ones that match your patients.
Will the carbon fiber show up on the CT image?
No. Carbon fiber is radiolucent, so the holder supports the head without adding a shadow or artifact to a head or neck scan.
Which scanner does it fit?
It is designed for the Canon Aquilion CT table. It attaches to the head end quickly and easily, so it is ready for the next patient fast.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the carbon fiber and the foam inserts with a standard surface disinfectant between patients. Both are reusable and latex-free, so routine cleaning keeps them ready to use.
