AliMed® Protecta-Coat Positioners with Agion® withstand barium-induced diarrhea, blood, Betadine, IV contrast, etc. That's because Protecta-Coat wedges are fluid-resistant - just rinse clean and disinfect. These seamless, vinyl-coated positioners are even radiolucent on surfaces at 60kVp or above - truly multipurpose wedges. (When tested at low attenuation of 80 kVp, results indicate an aluminum equivalency of 1%. Procedures at less than 60 kVp may produce slightly visible lines on edge.) Save your department time and money with a wedge you can use over and over again! Waterproof, nonslip coating retains the resilience and support you normally expect with the best uncoated wedges. Radiolucent, fluid-resistant, and extremely supportive - that's Protecta-Coat.
In addition to its unique design, the Protecta-Coat is now impregnated with antimicrobial ionic silver that inhibits the growth of millions of bacteria. This protection will last the lifetime of the positioner. We're proud of the Protecta-Coat, and look forward to its joining the fight against hospital infections. If you're using the now-obsolete old-style bacteria laden positioners, contact AliMed® to replace them.
