The system is a complete radiographic system, which includes a deluxe digital receptor wall stand; a floor-mounted tube stand; a choice of a high-performance x-ray tube and collimator; and a selection of user-friendly, high-frequency generators in three sizes: 30 kW, 37.5 kW, or a 30-kW stored energy generator designed to work with standard 110-volt power.

Posture Pillow
The SleepPostureTM pillow by Sleep Posture helps train patients to sleep with a better posture for better health. The pillow’s unique shape prevents patients from sleeping on their backs, which can cause low back pain and lack of support for the curve in the spine. It also prevents patients from sleeping on their stomachs, which may put strain on the neck, jaw, and back. The pillow allows patients to sleep on their sides and gives the support needed for the neck, head, and upper and lower back. The ear well (hole) is designed to elevate the chin approximately 1 inch, encouraging the airway passage to open and increasing airflow. The ear well and chin tilt increase the natural curve in the neck, and they are essential for good sleep posture.
