Lerman Minerva MRI CTO Pediatric is used to help the neck and upper back after surgery or injury. It has adjustable parts for the head and chin, as well as an oval hole for the windpipe.
MRI Safe: Designed with materials and construction that are compatible with MRI scans, ensuring safe usage for patients undergoing imaging procedures.
Cervical and Upper Thoracic Support: Specifically engineered to provide support and stabilization to the cervical spine (neck region) as well as the upper thoracic spine (upper back area). This support is crucial for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries in these regions.
Height Adjustable Occipital Shell and Chin Support: Incorporates an occipital shell (the back of the head support) and chin support that are adjustable in height. This feature allows for a customized fit tailored to the patient's anatomy and comfort level.
Oval Trachea Opening: Includes an oval-shaped opening around the trachea area (windpipe). This design accommodates the natural curvature and contours of the neck, ensuring proper alignment and minimizing pressure on the trachea.
Safety during MRI Scans: The MRI-safe design ensures that patients can safely undergo MRI procedures without needing to remove the orthosis, saving time and reducing inconvenience.
Effective Support and Stabilization: By providing support to the cervical and upper thoracic spine, the orthosis aids in the healing process for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries in these areas. It helps prevent excessive movement that could exacerbate injuries or hinder recovery.
Comfortable and Functional Design: The oval trachea opening ensures that the orthosis fits comfortably around the neck while maintaining proper alignment and reducing pressure on the trachea. This design feature promotes patient comfort and facilitates normal breathing and swallowing functions.
