ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for immobilizing and positioning the lower or inferior portion of the human for radiographic examination or treatment. The device consists of a framework made from a base board, a plurality of siderails, a foot board and a pair of leg support blocks. A foam mixture is applied to the upper surface of the baseboard and to the leg support blocks and the entire device is placed into a large flexible container or bag. A patient's inferior or lower body portion is placed on the device in a supine position with a leg support block supporting at least one of the legs. The patient remains in a fixed position while the foam mixture expands around the patient's body and the apparatus framework. After a brief period of time, the foam sets or hardens and a mold or template is formed. This mold serves to immobilize the lower portion of the body during radiographic examinations and treatment as well as other procedures. The form can be utilized repeatedly with the same patient in subsequent procedure for duplicating the initial examination or treatment posture.
