Pigg-O-Stat™ Immobilizer/Positioner

The Pigg-O-Stat is a fast, sure, and simple method for immobilizing and positioning children from infants to about 3 years old. Spring-loaded cassette holder accommodates any size cassette up to 14 x 17". Adjustable seat platform can be rotated horizontally to any degree and position to facilitate oblique and lateral views. The unit includes form-fitting body and arm supports (one pair each — large & small) of transparent plexiglas and an adjustable lead shield and marker combination. A lead shield with R, L and arrow markers can be raised and lowered to protect the patient’s reproductive organs and provide proper position identification on the radiograph. The whole unit is easily cleaned. The 20 x 22" table top is made of ¾" birch plywood and stands 35" high. The unit is mounted on four 3" casters (two with brakes).

The 206500 Pigg-O-Stat is configured for DR applications (not shown). The Pigg-O-Stat for DR does not have a cassette holder and the immobilizing turret is shifted to the edge of the table to place the patient close to the digital detector.
