Frequently asked questions
Does this harness effectively clear the shoulders for imaging?
Yes, it is specifically designed to retract the shoulders of sedated or anesthetized patients. This action effectively prevents shoulder interference, providing an unobstructed view of the C5-6 and C6-7 vertebrae during intra-operative X-ray procedures.
Is this restraint safe for use in an MRI suite?
Absolutely. The harness is explicitly rated as MR-Safe, making it suitable for use in environments where magnetic resonance equipment is present, offering excellent versatility for clinical settings.
How does the harness stay secured during a procedure?
The restraint utilizes a clever design where the torso portion relies on the patient’s own body weight to remain securely in place. This provides reliable stabilization without the need for a complex or invasive setup.
Is the material comfortable for the patient?
The restraint is constructed from high-quality foam. This material choice is intended to be gentle while providing the necessary support and retraction required for precise medical imaging.
Does this product support hospital infection control protocols?
Yes, the harness is fully disposable. Using single-use equipment helps clinical teams maintain high standards of infection control and hygiene in surgical and radiology departments.
How long are the straps on this harness?
The unit features a 5.5-foot strap length, paired with a shoulder-retraction component measuring 18.5 x 44 inches, providing sufficient reach for most standard operating tables.
Does this tool help reduce the need for repeat X-rays?
By offering a highly maneuverable design that ensures optimal vertebral visualization on the first try, this harness helps improve workflow efficiency and minimizes the frequency of repeat radiographic exposures.
Is this harness compatible with all patients?
The product features a ‘One Size Fits All’ design. Its adjustable hook and loop straps allow it to be easily adapted to various patient body types during surgical procedures.
Is this harness TAA compliant for government facilities?
Yes, the AliMed Harness Restraint is Trade Agreement Act (TAA) compliant, meeting the requirements necessary for use in government and federally-supported medical facilities.
Is the setup process quick for clinical staff?
The design is highly minimalist and functional. Because it relies on the patient’s weight for stability and uses simple hook and loop straps, it allows for fast, intuitive adjustment in fast-paced OR or radiology environments.
