Bean Bag Immobilization

“Vacum Bean bag positioners” are a popular way to immobilize patients securely and comfortably during surgical procedures. Their unrivaled flexibility makes them incredibly easy to use—simply place the patient on the vacuum bean bag positioner, mold the bag around the patient, and then use the pump to apply negative pressure and create a rigid structure that conforms perfectly to the surgical site. After the procedure, vacuum-pac positioners can be effortlessly cleaned and stored away.
Universal Medical offers operating table bean bags in a variety of sizes, from 20” x 10” to 46” x 46”. The urethane covering repels stains making our bean bag positioners much easier to sanitize than comparable surfaces, such as vinyl. Our vacum bean bag positioners utilize a unique, easy to use air valve. Unlike competitors’ vacuum-pac positioners, which need to be disposed of if the air valve breaks, our bean bags offer a money-saving valve replacement kit. Why purchase expensive replacement bean bag positioners when valve replacements are inexpensive and easy to repair? Blue Diamond bean bag positioners are also available with gel overlays for additional patient comfort and prevention of pressure sores.
Specifically designed for performing MRI exams, our splint vacum-pac positioner options are crucial to immobilize the patient securely in order to obtain high-quality images. Universal Medical offers the MedVac Vacuum Immobilization System in a range of configurations for extremity MRIs:

The MedVac brand bean bag positioner immobilizers utilize a patented multi-chamber system containing tiny, evenly-spaced beads that conform comfortably to the extremity being examined. We also offer two infant splints that can eliminate the need for sedation when performing pediatric MRIs. MedVac vacuum-pac positioners are durable, simple to use, easy to clean, and very thin, allowing them to be used in most any coil. Both the Medvac and Blue Diamond bean bag positioners are imperative parts of vacuum-pac positioning.
