Short Description
The Aspen Vista ICU Back Panel is an accessory for the Vista Collar offering dual-density foam to prevent skin breakdown and pressure ulcers in bedridden patients.
The Aspen Vista ICU Back Panel, is specifically engineered to address the challenges of extended cervical immobilization in hospital and clinical settings. This advanced accessory easily attaches to the standard Vista Cervical Collar to provide enhanced support while actively managing skin health, a critical concern for bedridden patients.
Its unique design focuses on dispersing pressure across the head and neck, promoting airflow, and resisting moisture to ensure superior patient comfort and safety during recovery.
Key Features Designed for Skin Integrity & Pressure Management
This panel provides essential support and advanced skin protection for non-ambulatory patients:
- Dual-Density Pressure Relief: Features specialized dual-density foam strategically placed to disperse and manage pressure across the occipital region (back of the head) and the back panel, significantly reducing the risk of pressure ulcers and skin breakdown.
- Reduces Bed Shear and Friction: The unique height extension capability helps to prevent bed sheer (friction) when a patient is moved or repositioned in bed, protecting delicate skin from further irritation.
- Moisture-Wicking Liners: The pads are cotton-lined to effectively wick moisture away from the skin, which is vital for preventing irritation and maintaining a healthy microclimate for the patient.
- Hygienic, Open Design: The open structure promotes crucial airflow and ventilation. The durable materials are also easy to clean and resistant to common hospital cleaning agents, supporting strict infection control practices.
- Adaptable Support: The back panel extension is removable once the patient progresses and becomes ambulatory, allowing the collar to adapt to different phases of treatment.
- Compatibility: Designed as a seamless accessory for the standard Aspen Vista Cervical Collar.
Indications for Use
The Aspen Vista ICU Back Panel is specifically indicated as an accessory to the Aspen Vista Cervical Collar when the patient meets the following criteria:
- Non-Ambulatory or Bedridden Status: Recommended for patients requiring prolonged periods of rest or those who are incapable of repositioning themselves.
- High Risk of Pressure Ulcers: Use to aid in the prevention of skin breakdown, pressure sores, and occipital ulcers due to extended immobilization.
- Shear and Friction Risk: Indicated for patients who are frequently repositioned or moved in bed, where the panel's design helps reduce shear forces against the bedding.
- Long-Term Cervical Immobilization: Necessary for patients in ICU or long-term care settings following trauma, surgery, or severe injury where maintaining skin integrity is paramount.
