Patients often complain about being uncomfortable during their MRI and other imaging studies. A significant part of their discomfort relates to the mattress pads currently available on the MRI as well as PET, CT, Nuclear medicine and X-Ray tables. The current pads were not developed with the purpose of maximizing patient comfort nor do they use the latest technology.


Patient Comfort Systems introduces its new patient
comfort technology using Tempur-Pedic® pressure managing
TEMPUR® material. This heat sensitive material molds
to the patient’s exact body shape and contours to evenly
distribute weight and pressure.



What is the Patient Comfort System?
The Patient Comfort System was developed over a 2-year period in
close cooperation with leading imaging centers to maximize patient
comfort as well as conform to the specific requirements for compatibility
and safety. The Patient Comfort System incorporates TEMPUR material.
This is the same material used in the Tempur-Pedic mattresses that
have been recommended by over 25,000 medical professionals
worldwide to help their patients reduce pain, increase comfort
and improve the quality of sleep.

This TEMPUR material used for medical imaging has been specifically
formulated to maximize patient comfort and maintain a thin form factor
while optimizing the available free space for the patient when inside
the MRI bore. These mattresses and positioners are compatible with
existing tables and are designed to simply replace the current pads.

The basic system consists of two to four rectangular mattress pads
covered with advanced breathable space-age waterproof material which
resists staining and makes cleaning easier. A knee wedge and neck roll
are also included to maximize patient comfort. To increase safety,
all pads have an anti-slip undersurface to keep the pads in place while
patients are getting on and off the table. Also available are pressure-
managing mattresses designed for use in the CTL coil, many varieties
of positioners and a pillow that fits into the MRI bore.
