Midmark 9A513001-246 - HEADREST, U-SHAPED, ULTRAPRMUPH, CANYN, EACH
The Midmark 9A513001-246 U-Shaped Ultra Premium Upholstery Headrest in Canyon is designed to improve patient positioning, comfort, and clinical accessibility during examinations and procedures. Built for compatibility with Midmark examination and procedure tables, this headrest provides stable head and neck support while maintaining ergonomic alignment for both the patient and the clinician. The U-shaped contour gently cradles the patients head, minimizing pressure points and supporting longer procedures without discomfort.
Constructed using high-density medical-grade foam and ultra premium upholstery, the headrest offers durability, easy cleaning, and resistance to cracking or fluid absorption. The Canyon upholstery finish blends seamlessly with modern clinical environments, maintaining a professional appearance while supporting infection control protocols. This component is engineered to integrate securely with compatible Midmark tables, ensuring consistent positioning and reliable performance in daily clinical use.
Key Benefits
The U-shaped contour stabilizes the patients head, reducing unintended movement during examinations and minor procedures. This improves diagnostic accuracy and clinician efficiency. The high-resilience foam maintains its shape over repeated use, preventing flattening and preserving patient comfort.
Ultra premium upholstery supports frequent cleaning with standard medical disinfectants, helping maintain hygiene standards. The Canyon color maintains visual consistency across treatment rooms and resists staining from routine clinical use. The headrest also reduces clinician strain by supporting optimal working posture, especially during ENT, dermatology, and primary care assessments.
Secure mounting compatibility ensures the headrest remains stable when repositioning the exam table. This reduces adjustment time and improves patient confidence during treatment.
Compatibility and Applications
The headrest is designed for use with compatible Midmark examination and procedure tables equipped with headrest mounting systems. It is suitable for primary care clinics, specialty practices, outpatient facilities, urgent care centers, and ambulatory surgery settings.
Common applications include patient examinations, dermatological procedures, ENT evaluations, ophthalmic assessments, and minor treatments requiring steady head positioning. The design supports both seated and reclined patient positions, making it versatile across multiple clinical workflows.
Usage Guidelines
Before each use, confirm the headrest is securely attached to the table mount. Adjust the table angle according to procedure requirements while ensuring the patients neck remains supported by the U-shaped contour. The patients head should rest naturally within the contour without forced positioning.
After each patient encounter, clean the upholstery using approved healthcare disinfectants and allow adequate drying time before reuse. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools that may damage the upholstery surface.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The headrest is manufactured according to healthcare equipment quality standards appropriate for clinical environments. The materials used are designed for repeated medical cleaning protocols and are compatible with commonly used disinfectants in healthcare facilities.
The foam and upholstery components are selected to meet durability expectations for professional medical equipment while supporting patient safety and infection prevention procedures.
Comparison with Competitors
Unlike generic headrests that rely on flat padding, the Midmark U-shaped design distributes pressure evenly around the occipital region, improving comfort and stability. Many aftermarket headrests compress quickly under repeated use, whereas the high-density foam in this model maintains structural integrity longer.
The ultra premium upholstery also offers greater resistance to cracking compared to standard vinyl coverings commonly found in non-OEM alternatives. Additionally, manufacturer-specific compatibility ensures proper alignment and mounting security that third-party accessories may not provide.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This headrest is commonly used by physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, dermatologists, and specialists performing routine examinations or short procedures. It is ideal for clinics that prioritize patient comfort and professional presentation.
Facilities performing frequent head and neck evaluations benefit from the stable positioning. Pediatric and elderly patient populations especially benefit from the supportive contour that reduces muscle strain during examination.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Inspect the headrest regularly for signs of wear or loosening at the mounting point. Maintain a routine cleaning schedule after each patient interaction. Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals beyond recommended disinfectants to preserve upholstery life.
Store the table in a neutral position when not in use to reduce continuous pressure on the foam structure. Periodic inspection helps ensure consistent patient comfort and prolongs equipment lifespan.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This component is intended for professional healthcare environments and should be used only with compatible medical examination tables. It is not intended for home or non-medical furniture use. Proper installation according to equipment guidelines is required to maintain safety and stability during patient care.
Routine inspection should be included in facility equipment safety protocols to ensure ongoing compliance with clinical safety standards.
