MRI Safe Papoose Board




MRI-safe immobilization board designed to securely stabilize infants, children, teenagers, and small adults during X-ray and MRI procedures.
Key Features and Benefits
MRI Safe, Metal-Free Construction – safe for MRI environments and compatible with X-ray imaging procedures.
Prevent Splint Immobilization Principle – secures the patient to a rigid board to suppress movement and reduce motion artifacts.
Padded Three-Tier Canvas Flap System – allows controlled restraint while maintaining patient comfort.
Selective Restraint Capability – flaps can remain open for imaging access while head and arm straps maintain stabilization.
Four Adjustable Arm and Wrist Straps – provide additional upper limb immobilization when required.
Padded Head Strap – enhances head stability for improved imaging accuracy.
Latex-Free Materials – suitable for patients with latex sensitivities.
Lightweight and Portable Design – easy to transport between imaging rooms.
Hanging Storage Hole – supports convenient vertical storage when not in use.
Supports Faster Imaging Workflow – reduces motion-related retakes and helps limit unnecessary radiation exposure.

Product Overview
The MRI Safe Papoose Board is designed to provide controlled immobilization across a wide patient range, from infants to small adults. By minimizing patient movement, it helps improve image quality and reduce retakes during diagnostic imaging.
Operating on a prevent splint principle, the system gently secures the patient to a rigid board using padded flaps and adjustable straps. The selective restraint design allows technologists to maintain stabilization while accessing required anatomical areas during scanning.
Available in four sizes, the system supports pediatric radiology, MRI suites, and hospital diagnostic departments seeking reliable, safe immobilization solutions. Lightweight, latex-free, and easy to clean, the board integrates efficiently into clinical workflows.
