Description
The Stabilo P-SS-44 head immobilizing pillow provides safe immobilization of the head and cervical spine when the user is unable to maintain the position independently. It is a medical product that enables the user to maintain the required head position in the event that the head needs to be immobilized (suspected fractures), as well as for specialized examinations such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scans.
The P-SS-44 head immobilizing pillow is made of easy to clean and disinfect materials. It has no aluminum components in its design, making it suitable for use during specialist imaging examinations, such as CT or MRI scans. In addition, the ease of hygiene allows the product to be used by many patients in health and rehabilitation centers.

Head immobilizer P-SS-44 consists of several compatible components: a rigid base, an occipital pressure relieving cushion for increased user comfort, 2 side positioning wedges and head stabilization straps with pressure relieving cushions.
The occipital pressure relieving cushion, made of thermoelastic memory foam, perfectly reduces pressure on the occiput and the risk of bedsores and provides the user a high level of using comfort.

Two positioning wedges are made of soft foam, which perfectly relieves the pressure on the user’s bony prominences and allows the head to be held in the desired position. The wedges are attached to the base of the stabilizer with Velcro, so they can easily be adjusted and positioned to suit the width and circumference of the head. Such a function is extremely important in cases of head trauma to the craniofacial bones and large post-accident swellings, as well as for follow-up examinations after absorbing exudates.

The stabilizing side wedges have been fitted with foam perforations to maintain auditory and verbal contact with the patient during use of the device.

The stabilizing straps provide additional safety in the use of the product and prevent uncontrolled involuntary flexion movements of the head (e.g. in the case of epileptic attacks).

Furthermore, the stabilizing straps are equipped with cushions to relieve pressure on the bony prominences of the frontal and jaw area. The cushions, made of thermoelastic foam, adapt to the user’s anatomy, reducing pressure on the facial bones and increasing the comfort of the product.

The head stabilizing straps provide an adjustable circumferential range and allow the product to be perfectly adapted to the user’s needs.

The P-SS-44 professional head immobilizer is available in one universal size, suitable for older children and adults.

PureMed™
Antibacterial fabric safe for people, easy to disinfect, and suitable for multiple users in hospitals or rehabilitation centers. Contains Silver Zeolite components and complies with REACH regulation. Light, soft and easy to shape.
AirMesh™
AirMesh is a special aerating-massaging fabric used in the places, which have a directis a special aerating-massaging fabric used in the places, which have a directcontact with the user’s body. As a result, the comfort of use has significantly increased, andat the same time the risk of bedsores has considerably decreased.
AntySlip™
A special non-slip fabric which prevents the cushions and pillows from moving on the mattress.
VelcroFit™
The STABILObed® elements are equipped with a set of Velcro which allows to position the elements on the mattress covered with a self-adhesive sheet as well as combine selected elements in various configurations.
Off-loading foam
It is a rigid technical foam, created during the recycling process. The structure of this foam is closed which means that it goes back to its initial shape even after long-term lying of the user.

Maintenance
PureMed™ meets all the essential requirements of the medical products of different kinds, according to the Regulation of the Ministers of Health on 3 November 2004 and the requirements contained in Annex I to Council Directive 93/42/EEC of 14 June 1993 concerning medical devices , deployed by the law of 30 April 2004 of Medical Devices (OJ L 93 of 2004., pos. 896). It is a flexible fabric which is safe for people. It is antibacterial, waterproof, vapour permeable and easy to disinfect.PureMed™ should be cleaned according to the laundry guide. Coated materials should be cleaned with the use of neutral pH soap solution (about 7) applied with a soft sponge or a damp cloth. Rub gently and wipe dry to remove the rest of the detergent. In order to keep the original colour and shine level, the procedure should be repeated every month.
Stains should come out if you use 25% solution of ethanol. Rub gently and wipe dry to remove the rest of the detergent.
Please, bear in mind that some stains might not be completely removed from the cleaned surface. It depends on several factors like active dyers permanently migrating to the material surface, the material composition and finish, or chemical composition of dirt as well as the time the soiling has remained on the material surface.
You should pay particular attention to the generally available domestic cleansers whose components might react with the soiling and cause an effect contrary to what was originally intended.
Remember that PureMed™ should never be cleaned with domestic cleansers and cleaning agents that are generally recommended for ‘eco-leather’.
