Where the MR Safe Closed Cell 45 Degree Wedge Sponge Fits
A 45-degree wedge does one job well, which is holding a body part at a repeatable angle. Slide it under a knee or a heel to raise the leg for a run off, or set it behind a shoulder or a hip to hold an oblique without a tech bracing the patient by hand. The flat faces sit square on the table and against the body, so the angle stays put once you place it. At 7 inches on each side, it suits an arm, a lower leg, or a pediatric torso. For a longer run along the spine, the large spinal body wedge gives the same 45-degree angle at 21 inches. For a gentler tilt, the 15-degree wedge set drops the angle for a light lift.
Built to Hold the Angle
- Closed cell foam is firm, so the 45 degree face keeps its shape under a limb.
- Non-porous surface wipes clean, so fluid stays on top instead of soaking in.
- No coating and charcoal grey foam, so it reads fully radiolucent with no seam lines.
- Verified MR Safe, so it goes into the MRI suite with the patient.
- Flat faces sit square on the table and the body, so the angle does not drift.
- Latex-free and 1 pound, so it is easy to place and easy on sensitive skin.
Cleaning and Care
Wipe the wedge with your standard surface disinfectant between patients. The closed-cell foam does not absorb fluid, so it dries fast and does not hold an odor. Store it flat or on a face so the point of the wedge keeps its shape, alongside the rest of your positioning wedges and sponges.
