IMP Universal Lateral Positioner
IMP · Model Universal Lateral Positioner
• Removable and independently adjustable anterior arms allow more accurate contact with the iliac crests and accommodate all patient anatomies. • Provides stable, lateral decubitus positioning. • Creates a reproducible point of reference for primary and revision arthroplasty. • Patented hyperflexion plate allows up to 120° of flexion during ROM testing
Key tips
- ·A positioner that has lost padding thickness or developed a tear no longer redistributes pressure as designed - replace it rather than keep using it.
- ·There is no electronic self-test here: condition is assessed by hands-on inspection every PM, not by an alarm.
PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Visual inspection for tears, cracks, delamination, compression set, and fluid ingress
- ·Check straps, buckles, hook-and-loop, and any mounting hardware for wear and secure attachment
- ·Confirm the surface cleans and disinfects per the manufacturer's instructions for use
- ·Retire and replace once the padding no longer rebounds, splits, or fails to hold position
