Great Question!  Closed Cell Sponges are not like any other sponge positioner on the market. The innovative technology makes these sponges durable, 100% cleanable, and YES – Artifact-Free!

As any technologist knows, positioning sponges are essential for positioning patients for the best image possible. Patients come to the imaging departments for a wide variety of reasons, and you have to be ready for all situations. Positioning sponges do just that and aide technologist in getting the right angle or the right position for the imaging exam when it’s needed most.

It’s important to have the right sponges that are 100% cleanable and  don’t create artifacts on the image.  Closed Cell Positioners do just that!  No more worries about repeat examinations due to artifacts. No more worries about being able to clean them either. Their micro-cellular structure is resistant to ALL FLUIDS including blood, urine, betadine, IV solutions, etc.  Our innovative Closed Cell Sponge Positioners give you the best of both worlds!  There are easy to clean & disinfect with a 10% bleach solution or any hospital grade disinfectant wipe or spray AND they are artifact-free.

These radiolucent closed cell sponge positioners are manufactured using a fine micro-cellular structure that is characterized by a firm feel and resistant to fluids.  Since there is no chemical coating – there is no horrible line artifacts.  Now you see why we’re so excited to tell you about our artifact-free positioning sponges and here are three reasons why you’ll love them too!

It’s not often that we get the opportunity to be excited about new things in Medical Imaging, but this is one of those times. I am talking about Innovation in Foam Cell Technology. Sponges are frequently used during imaging to position patients for an imaging examination.  You are also aware of the problems that have become a part of the territory when working with foam sponges.   Depending on the material that they are made of, they can be very difficult to clean, if they can even be cleaned at all like the non-coated foam positioners are that fail inspections.

Technologists have no more worries about how to clean their sponges or having sponges that would pass the rigorous inspections of Joint Commission or State Inspectors.  In the past, the older non-coated gray sponges were the only ones that would not produce artifacts - BUT - you also couldn’t clean them.  Coated sponges solved the cleaning aspect—BUT - they created horrible artifacts in the image.  Our innovative Closed Cell Sponge Positioners give you the best of both worlds!  There are no artifacts, and they are easy to clean and disinfect with 10% bleach solution or any hospital grade disinfectant wipe or spray after every use.

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.
