Oakworks Spine Positioning System II

Overview

The Oakworks Spine Positioning System II (SPS II) is a prone positioning system for fluoroscopy-guided spine procedures in the pain management suite. It sits on the top of a C-arm or pain management table, and a stabilising strap secures it to the table.

A radiolucent frame carries an adjustable crescent face rest and a contoured torso support pad. There is no metal under the spine: the radiopaque parts sit beyond the patient's forehead, so the spine can be imaged from C0–C1 to the coccyx in AP, oblique and lateral views. One cam lock sets the face rest for cervical flexion, extension and height, and the torso pad raises the chest so the shoulders drop out of the imaging plane for lower cervical and upper thoracic views.

Adjuster pads, a contoured torso wedge and a semi-round bolster build up the position for different body sizes, and the open face section leaves room for supplemental oxygen and for talking with the patient. Oakworks developed the system with interventional spine physicians for cervical, thoracic and lumbar procedures. It weighs 7 kg and comes with a carry case. Pair it with an Oakworks C-arm imaging table.
