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 advanced pressure managing
viscoelastic 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 advanced viscoelastic
material. This is the same type of material used in special mattresses
that have been recommended by medical professionals worldwide to
help their patients reduce pain, increase comfort and improve
the quality of sleep.

This polyurethane foam 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 is 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 and many varieties of
positioners.
