Midmark 9A496001-312 - HEADREST, RECTANGULAR, PREM UPSTRY, BLACK, EACH
Product Overview
The Midmark 9A496001-312 rectangular premium upholstery headrest is designed to enhance patient comfort and clinical efficiency during examinations and procedures. Built for use with compatible Midmark examination and procedure tables, this headrest provides reliable support for the head and cervical spine while maintaining the professional appearance expected in modern medical environments. The black premium upholstery finish complements a wide range of exam room interiors and resists daily wear common in high patient volume settings.
Constructed with high density supportive padding and durable upholstery material, the headrest offers both comfort and longevity. Its rectangular shape promotes stable positioning across various patient sizes and positions, making it suitable for routine examinations, diagnostic procedures, and extended treatments. The component is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure proper fit and alignment with the original equipment design.
Key Benefits
The headrest provides consistent patient support which helps reduce strain on the neck during examinations. Patients remain more relaxed, allowing clinicians to perform evaluations efficiently without constant repositioning. The premium upholstery surface is smooth, easy to disinfect, and resistant to cracking and peeling over time.
The black finish maintains a clean and professional look even with frequent cleaning cycles. The padding density is balanced to prevent excessive compression while still providing comfort for longer appointments. Its exact dimensional compatibility reduces installation time and eliminates the need for modification or adjustment.
Facilities benefit from reduced replacement frequency due to the durable construction, while clinicians benefit from improved ergonomics and stable patient positioning.
Compatibility and Applications
This headrest is engineered for use with compatible Midmark examination and procedure tables designed to accept rectangular upholstery headrest components. It is commonly used in primary care clinics, specialty practices, outpatient surgical centers, dermatology offices, and medical spa environments where proper head positioning is essential.
Typical applications include physical examinations, ENT evaluations, dermatological treatments, minor procedures, injections, and patient consultations that require reclined positioning. The secure fit supports patient stability during table articulation adjustments.
Usage Guidelines
Before installation, confirm compatibility with the specific table model. Align the mounting points carefully and secure according to the table manufacturer instructions. After installation, verify that the headrest remains stable during backrest adjustments.
Position the patient so that the cervical spine rests naturally along the padded surface. Avoid placing excessive weight or equipment directly on the headrest surface. Inspect regularly for secure attachment and surface integrity.
After each patient use, clean and disinfect using approved medical surface cleaners compatible with medical upholstery materials. Do not use harsh solvents that may degrade the material.
Certifications and Safety Standards
Manufactured to meet original equipment performance expectations for medical examination furniture components. The upholstery material is designed for clinical cleaning protocols and supports infection control practices commonly used in healthcare facilities.
The component supports safe patient positioning when installed on compatible tables and used according to facility guidelines.
Comparison with Competitors
Unlike generic replacement headrests, this original equipment component maintains the exact fit and support characteristics intended by the table manufacturer. Generic alternatives often vary in padding density, mounting alignment, and upholstery durability which can lead to premature wear or patient discomfort.
The premium upholstery material resists cracking better than standard vinyl alternatives and retains its appearance after repeated disinfection cycles. The precise dimensional design also prevents wobble or uneven support sometimes experienced with aftermarket components.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This headrest is ideal for clinics that prioritize patient comfort and maintain professional treatment room standards. Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dermatologists, and specialists performing outpatient procedures rely on stable head positioning during examinations.
Common scenarios include annual wellness visits, skin procedures, injections, aesthetic treatments, and diagnostic evaluations. Facilities with moderate to high daily patient volume benefit from the durability and easy maintenance.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Clean the surface after every patient using approved disinfectants and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads which can damage the upholstery coating. Inspect seams periodically for integrity and confirm mounting stability weekly in high use environments.
If signs of cracking, foam compression, or loosened attachment occur, replace promptly to maintain patient safety and comfort. Store replacement units in a climate controlled area to preserve material flexibility before installation.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This product is intended as a replacement component for compatible medical examination tables. It should only be installed by trained staff following equipment guidelines. Proper cleaning and inspection procedures should be part of facility infection control protocols.
Use only with approved table models to maintain equipment performance and patient positioning safety.
