Maquet 1002.86B0 headrest: secure and precise positioning for surgical procedures
In modern operating theatres, every detail counts to ensure the success of a surgical procedure, and patient positioning plays a central role in this dynamic. The Maquet 1002.86B0 headrest is fully in line with this approach, offering a reliable, simple and effective solution for supporting the patient's head throughout the procedure. Whether in general surgery, neurosurgery or orthopaedic surgery, this accessory adapts flexibly to the varied needs of medical disciplines.
This headrest is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with Maquet operating table systems. Its universal attachment method via a square interface makes it particularly versatile. It can therefore be used in combination with standard table heads or specific plates, depending on the type of procedure planned. Thanks to this extensive compatibility, numerous configurations are possible without the need for complex modifications or additional adapters.
In terms of comfort and safety, the 1002.86B0 has a reliable locking mechanism that prevents accidental removal once secured. This feature is particularly important as it not only ensures patient safety but also gives medical staff peace of mind, especially during repeated handling during surgery. The system also allows for simple, smooth and precise manual adjustment of height and angle. It therefore offers ergonomic use that is adapted to the constraints of the operating theatre and the anatomical variability of patients.
This headrest is also appreciated for its robustness. Designed with durable, easy-to-disinfect materials, it fits perfectly into the sterile and demanding environments of operating theatres. It can be cleaned mechanically, which is a significant advantage in terms of hospital hygiene. Regular maintenance and disinfection of the accessory are therefore easy, helping to limit the risk of cross-contamination.
The 1002.86B0 headrest is designed to optimise patient comfort. In combination with head supports, whether SFC cushions or specific structures such as horseshoe supports, it helps to distribute pressure evenly, thus preventing pressure points or skin lesions. This precise and stable positioning of the head is crucial, especially for long procedures or those requiring exact alignment of the cervical spine.
The 1002.86B0 headrest fits seamlessly into the modular design of Maquet systems. When combined with the right adapters, it can be fitted with a wide range of additional accessories, allowing the configuration to be adapted to the specific requirements of each procedure.
Its compatibility, robustness and ease of use make it the preferred choice for healthcare facilities seeking to optimise safety, hygiene and efficiency in the operating theatre.
