8"x10"x2" Rectangle Block Positioner - Closed Cell

Welcome to our blog post on three things you'll love about Z&Z Medical's closed cell patient positioning foam sponges!

As a radiologic technologist, you know the importance of having the right supplies and equipment on hand to ensure the best possible positioning for your patients to get the best x-ray image. Patient positioning foam sponges are an essential tool in the radiology field, helping to support and position patients during exams and procedures.

At Z&Z Medical, we are proud to offer high-quality closed cell patient positioning foam sponges that are designed to meet the needs of radiologic technologists and their patients. Here are three things you'll love about our foam sponges:

1. Artifact Free: Our foam sponges are made of closed cell foam that does NOT product artifacts during imaging
2. Durability: Our foam sponges are designed to withstand the rigors of the radiology environment and are built to last.
3. Cleanable: Our foam sponges come in a range of sizes and shapes are easy to clean with any medical grade disinfectant making them a versatile and essential tool in any medical practice.

We hope you will consider choosing Z&Z Medical's closed cell patient positioning foam sponges for your practice. We are confident that you will love the comfort, durability, and cleanability of these essential products.

Z&Z Medical’s Exclusive Closed Cell Sponges are made from a lightweight 100% radiolucent non-porous foam. These positioning sponges are entirely fluid resistant and easy to clean! They are also easy to disinfect with any hospital grade disinfectant and are extremely durable when compared to common open cell sponges on the market today! Our sponges feature a non-coated premium charcoal grey color and are the perfect solution for any positioning need! They can be used in MRI, CT, Nuc Med, Ultrasound and General X-Ray making them the number one option in positioning sponges.  Below are some common frequently asked questions about our new closed cell sponges.

1. Are there any special storage requirements for closed cell foam? No. Unlike non-coated foam that will change color with exposure to room light, closed cell foam is not affected by room light.  We recommend that you store your sponges in a clean dry area when not in use to prolong the life of your sponges and to keep them clean.
2. Are closed cell foam positioners easy to rip or tear?Unlike coated open cell foam positioners, closed cell foam is manufactured using a fine micro-cellular structure that is characterized by its firm feel. They have a much higher tensile and tear strength compared to the open cell foam positioners on the market today. Unlike coated foam products that have to be replaced if torn or punctured for infection control reasons, this does not apply to closed cell foam products as the crosslink polyethylene foam is non-porous and resistant to fluid even if punctured or torn. 
3. I’m worried about cleaning them since they are not coated. Should I be worried? No. Closed cell sponges do not need a protective coating. The foam itself is closed cell and non-porous, meaning it will not absorb any fluids unlike the un-coated open cell sponges that are on the market. The crosslink density of this foam is extremely high, and the surface can be easily cleaned & disinfected making them an excellent positioner for any imaging facility.

Can I clean closed cell sponges? Absolutely. To clean the surface of the sponge that has become dirty or dusty with normal use and with storage, we recommend that you wash the surface with cold water and a mild general-purpose soap like a 409 spray. We recommend that you avoid using detergent cleaners that contain hydrocarbon solvents like acetone or ammonia as they are harsh on the surface and will shorten the life of your sponge. We also recommend that you avoid rigorous scrubbing, abrasive pads, or stiff brushes as they can also damage the surface as it would with any foam product.

Most imaging facilities require coated sponges or vinyl covered so that they can be cleaned and meet Joint Commission Standards. Do closed cell sponges have a coating? Closed cell sponges do not need a protective coating.  The foam itself is closed cell and non-porous, meaning it will not absorb any fluids unlike the un-coated open cell sponges that are on the market. The crosslink density of this foam is extremely high, and the surface can be easily cleaned & disinfected making them an excellent positioner for any imaging facility.
