Instructions for Using Oakworks Prone Pillow

The Prone Pillow is designed to comfortably support your clients during
a variety of procedures and offers excellent air flow for long prone
procedures. The Prone Pillow can be used on any horizontal surface.

The unit is composed of a easily cleaned, durable polymer platform
and a proprietary pad system made up of 2 removable, positionable
pads: the Head Rest Cushion and the Support Pad(see Fig.1). These
pads are positioned on the platform through the use of Velcro®
attachment strips that hold the pads securely in the perfect position
for both comfort and procedural need, regardless of client size.

• Prone Positioning

The Head Rest Cushion can be positioned anywhere along the
length of the large vent to accommodate clients of different heights
(see Fig 2). The width of the pad can be adjusted before placing the
cushion on the platform to fit different size faces (see Fig 2a). Adjust
the Head Rest Cushion placement for comfortable support by positioning
it along the Velcro® strips so that the head/face and shoulders are
equally supported (see Fig 2b).

• Supine Positioning

The Head Rest Cushion can be used to facilitate comfort and
support when the client is lying in a supine position by turning
the cushion around on the platform so that the open end points
away from the client. This angle provides cervical support to the
client when in a supine position. (see Fig 3)

• Cleaning the Patient Positioning Platform

Clean the upholstered portion of the Prone Pillow with a mild deter­gent solution. A diluted 1/100 bleach solution can be used for disin­fecting. Dry the unit immediately after cleaning to remove any excess
cleaning solution. Use of strong cleaners such as alcohol, acetone or other
products that contain high concentrations of these substances, can shorten
the life of your upholstery, or discolor it.

NOTE: Damage caused by them will not be covered under the warranty.

Use only a mild solution of 4:1 diluted non-alcohol cleaner such as
409®, Fantastik® or some other non-abrasive cleaner to wipe down the
polymer platform. Apply with a damp (not wet) lint-free cloth.
