Head Positioner for Facial Protection During Procedures
Medical-grade polyurethane foam head positioner with soft foam top layer. Protects sensitive facial features during prone positioning, surgery, and recovery. Freestanding design stays in place without straps.
Stable Support for Sensitive Facial Anatomy
Protects Eyes, Nose, and Chin
The contoured cradle distributes pressure away from the eyes, nose, and chin during prone or face-down positioning. Prevents corneal abrasion, nasal pressure injury, and facial nerve compression during extended procedures or recovery.
Medical-Grade Polyurethane Foam
Dense foam base provides stable, consistent support that does not compress flat over time. The soft foam top layer cushions the skin contact area for comfort during prolonged use. The dual-density construction balances support with pressure relief.
Freestanding Without Straps
The weighted base design stays in place on the operating table, bed, or stretcher without adhesive or strapping. This simplifies positioning and allows easy adjustment during procedures. The patient's head rests naturally in the cradle.
Latex-Free for Universal Use
Manufactured without natural rubber latex, making it safe for patients and staff with latex sensitivities. Disposable single-patient-use design eliminates cross-contamination risk between patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
What procedures is the head positioner used for?
Common uses include prone-position surgery (spinal, posterior fossa), MRI and CT imaging where the patient is face-down, post-operative recovery in prone position, and ICU proning for respiratory support. Any situation where the face needs to be protected while the patient is positioned face-down.
Is this reusable or disposable?
The McKesson Head Positioner is designed for single-patient use. Dispose of it after the patient's care episode is complete. This eliminates the infection control risk of shared positioning devices. Available individually or in cases of 24 for facility stocking.
Does the positioner accommodate endotracheal tubes?
Yes. The open-face cradle design provides clearance for endotracheal tubes, oral airways, and other airway management devices. The contoured shape allows the anesthesiologist or respiratory therapist to access the airway without repositioning the head positioner.
Can this be used for pediatric patients?
This head positioner is sized for adult patients. For pediatric use, consult with your surgical or anesthesia team about appropriately sized positioning devices. Using an adult positioner on a small patient may not provide adequate facial protection or stable positioning.
How does this prevent pressure injuries?
The dual-density foam distributes the weight of the head across a larger surface area, reducing peak pressure at any one point. The soft top layer conforms to facial contours, and the open design keeps pressure off the eyes, nose, and chin - the areas most vulnerable to pressure injury during prone positioning.
