FAQs

To improve efficiency and infection-control standards, dental professionals are choosing the industry-leading quality of MediPosture comfort products that are proudly Made in the U.S.A.

Instead of using unsanitary neck pillows or rolled hand towels for patient comfort, responsibly consider one of our MediPosture memory foam dental headrests, backrests, knee lifts, or dental chair overlay pads that were designed to accurately, comfortably and safely position patients in the dental chair.

Efficiency and quality is built into every MediPosture dental cushion. Featuring:

Universal Fit: Each memory foam dental headrest is designed at a precise height to ensure correct ergonomic patient head-positioning. They work with all chairs including articulating headrest chairs. High-density memory foam inserts ensure that full neck-support is provided to patients.
Adjustable: MediPosture dental headrests exclusively offer adjustable elastic backstraps that are used to tightly affix their position on dental chairs. They can be left on the dental chair and a quick adjustment can be made between patients as needed.
Simple Infection-control: Each product features an anti-microbial cover that is constructed of medical-grade urethane, that acts as an infection control barrier. The covers can be quickly sterilized between patient visits by using infection-control solutions already used in the operatory. Since they can be easily sanitized in place after every use they are ready for the benefit of every dental patient without any extra work.

So if you’re a dental practice that would like to improve the efficiency and comfort of treating patients with special comfort needs, you should consider MediPosture dental comfort products. They are designed to perform in the high-stress world of dentistry and will definitely provide valuable, time-saving opportunity for you and your staff.

WHY EVERY PRACTICE NEEDS A MEMORY FOAM DENTAL HEADREST

Choose memory foam dental headrests and patient neck pillows by MediPosture to help improve patient neck support while they recline in the dental chair. The soft, memory foam dental headrest works to fill the void between the patient’s neck and the dental chair, which helps to support the cervical spine and relax tension in the neck.

Our superior quality memory foam dental headrests can also help to improve chair side ergonomics for dental professionals who struggle between making patients comfortable and protecting themselves from muscular fatigue, or musculoskeletal injury. The sloping design of the MediPosture dental headrest works to gently “roll” the patient’s head backward, while the thick, radius side of the dental cushion provides full support to the cervical spine. This head-backward positioning helps to set the occlusal plane at the optimal 15-20 degrees for improved access to the oral cavity.

WHY CONSIDER A MEDIPOSTURE MEMORY FOAM DENTAL HEADREST?

Thickness: MediPosture memory foam dental headrests are designed in sizes that will help establish the correct ergonomic head-positioning for patients. We recommend a low-profile, 3.5” thick dental headrest for articulating dental chairs. For those dental chairs that can’t adjust the tilt of a patient’s head, we recommend the 4” thick dental headrest. If treating geriatric patients, we also have a 6” thick version of the headrest which helps support them comfortably during recline.
Memory Foam Density: MediPosture memory foam dental headrests feature the highest-specification of memory foams within the industry. Our higher-density foams deliver greater patient neck support and improved dental ergonomic control. Choose a Classic series memory foam dental headrest for super-soft feeling neck support. For maximum head-positioning control and neck support, consider the ICORE series. Both series of MediPosture dental headrests exceed the performance-specifications of other headrests.
Infection-Control Covers: All MediPosture memory foam dental headrests feature medical-grade, anti-microbial covers that provide complete barrier protection for infection-control and cleaning. Simply spray or wipe with any infection-control solutions commonly used in dental settings.
Fixture Straps: MediPosture dental headrests are the only brand to feature slide-adjustable elastic back straps. Our elastic bands are nearly twice as thick as other headrests, which helps resist over-stretching. Simply draw the elastic band through the locking clamp and secure tightly to the chair.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE HEADREST FOR YOUR DENTAL CHAIR

All MediPosture headrests should be sized according to the dental chair, which allows for maximum improvement in patient comfort and ergonomic head-positioning. For articulating headrest dental chairs, we recommend a low-profile dental headrest that measures 3.5” thick. For dental chairs that feature a flat-style, or “pull-out” headrest, Mediposture recommends a 4” thick memory foam dental headrest pillow. For those practices that treat geriatric dental patients, we also offer a 6” thick version of our dental headrest that helps to fill in the void between the dental chair and the patient’s neck.

THE VALUE OF DENTAL ERGONOMIC POSITIONING PRODUCTS FOR DENTAL OPERATOR SAFETY

Do you have patients that have a low tolerance for being reclined? How does that affect the safety of your ergonomic working angles?? MediPosture dental chair cushions improve the comfort and tolerance of patients reclined in dental chairs. When patients are relaxed, they can be ergonomically positioned so that you can safely do your job without increased risk for musculoskeletal injury. Choose a dental headrest or for maximum comfort, our 4-piece MediPosture set that includes; dental headrest, backrest, knee lift and dental chair overlay pad.

The sloping design of MediPosture memory foam dental headrests works to gently “roll” the patient’s head backward, while the thick, radius side of the dental cushion provides full support to the cervical spine. This head-backward positioning helps to set the occlusal plane at the optimal 15-20 degrees for improved access to the oral cavity.
