Head Support Cushion

Opportunity

A potential medical supplies customer approached MWR to manufacture a hermetically-sealed cushion to comfortably, but securely, hold a patient’s head steady during highly sensitive diagnostic neck scans, such as MRI and CAT scan procedures.

Challenge

The cushion could not contain holes or other voids that would weaken the security and compromise the patient’s medical test. The cushion must also be specially coated for proper antiseptic cleaning, and the coating must not be able to peal or lift, and have zero surface blemishes and/or pinholes.

Solution

MWR engineers developed different materials for both the core and surface components of the cushion. The processes were unique in application, but MWR was able to marry the two components successfully, achieving 100% client satisfaction.

Result

This very popular cushion design is being manufactured and supplied to hospitals and diagnostic labs throughout North America.
