Helmet headrest type 1002.05A0©

The fixing strap cushion pad – chin part – is a protective accessory dedicated to the chin fixing strap included with the 1002.05A0© helmet headrest of Maquet® operating tables. The counterpart to the forehead cushion pad, this model ensures protection of the patient's chin area — an anatomical surface particularly exposed to the mechanical stress generated by the lower fixing strap of the helmet headrest. The chin, due to its prominent geometry and the thinness of its cutaneous tissue, is a high-risk contact area for compression or friction injuries when in prolonged contact with an unpadded strap, particularly during lengthy surgical procedures.
Developed by @bloc, a French specialist in patient positioning in the operating room with over 10 years of expertise, this cushion pad is part of @bloc's approach of providing complete coverage of all patient contact areas of the 1002.05A0© helmet headrest. By offering dedicated cushion pads for each strap section — forehead and chin — @bloc provides clinical teams with a comprehensive and cohesive protective solution for the entire helmet headrest fixation system.

Its custom-fit design guarantees precise adaptation to the original chin strap, ensuring stable retention of the pad in position throughout the procedure with no risk of slipping. The cushioning provided contributes to even pressure distribution across the chin area, prevention of skin injuries and improvement of overall patient comfort.
Manufactured in France in accordance with the quality and hygiene standards of the medical environment, this cushion pad features a cover designed to withstand the disinfection protocols used in healthcare facilities, making daily maintenance straightforward for clinical teams.
This cushion pad is part of @bloc's comprehensive range of operating table cushions, available to healthcare facilities around the world.
