Where the Canon Side Wedge Pads Fit in CT Positioning
Not every head sits square in a fixed holder insert. When space opens up on one or both sides, the wedges take it up so the head stays centered and does not drift during the scan. Slide a wedge in between the cheek and the pad, and the same piece adds a firmer hold on that side. The set works with a Canon head holder and its foam inserts, and it pairs well with a set of Canon head straps when you want the head steadied from more than one point. It fits both adult and smaller patients, since the gap you need to close is different for every person.
Built for Repeat Use in the CT Suite
- Angled shape closes the gap between the head and the insert, so the head sits square in the holder.
- Compression-formed closed-cell foam stays firm under the head and does not sag with use.
- Nylon cover stops the face from sticking to the foam and wipes down fast between patients.
- Radiolucent foam stays out of the CT image, so it does not block anatomy or cast a shadow.
- Latex-free material works for patients and staff with a latex sensitivity.
- Set of two covers both sides of the head from a single order.
Cleaning and Care
Wipe the wedges down with your standard surface disinfectant between patients. The nylon cover keeps fluid on the surface, so the foam does not soak it up or hold an odor. Store the set flat with your other CT room accessories so the angled edge keeps its shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the side wedge pads used for?
They close the gap when the head does not sit flush in the Canon head holder insert. The angled wedges slide in from the side to center the head and add a firmer hold, which helps keep the CT image sharp.
Do the wedge pads show up on a CT image?
No. The foam is radiolucent, so it stays out of the picture and does not block anatomy or leave a shadow on the scan.
How do you clean the side wedge pads?
Wipe them with a standard surface disinfectant between patients. The nylon cover keeps fluid on the surface, so nothing soaks into the foam.
How many wedges come in a set?
Each order is a set of two, one for each side of the head.
When a head does not fill the insert, the Canon Side Wedge Pads give your team a quick way to square it up and hold it still through the scan. Request a quote to add a set to your CT room.
