SIMPLE AND QUICK STABILIZATION OF ARMS TO THE UPPER BODY
Thorax/abdomen examinations are routine CT examinations in which the patient’s arms are usually positioned above the head. However, if the patient’s arms cannot be positioned above the head, correct and stable positioning are all the more important in order to avoid “photon degeneration artifacts” and not to increase the radiation exposure unnecessarily. With simple tricks and the right tools, the correct position can be reliably achieved in various situations.

PERFECTLY HYGIENIC BELT SYSTEM
The positioning of patients in computer tomography can be very challenging, especially with traumatized and disoriented emergency patients or also with very old, immobile and uncooperative patients. For safe and smooth examination procedures it is important to stabilize the patients reliably.
Following the examination, thorough cleaning and disinfection must be possible in a quick and easy way. Due to their use in an emergency environment or with infectious patients, the positioning aids must also be able to withstand the frequent use of strong disinfectants.
To meet these challenges, we have developed the new ProBelt system. The ProBelt system is made of a hard-wearing PU foil allowing patients to be fixed completely without a hook and loop fastener.
The ProBelt series consists of 4 different products:
- ProBelt 200 – The ProBelt series consists of 4 different products
- ProBelt Wrap – Wrap-around belt
- ProBelt Thorax – Arm positioning
- ProBelt 50 – Stabilization in the CT head holder
