WHY WE CALL IT THE Q

(POR QUE LO LLAMOMOS LA Q)

• The Q Pediatric Position Holder was created by Dr. Frank Quattromani (a.k.a. “Dr. Q”), a board certified pediatric radiologist.

• The Q Pediatric Position Holder is a revolutionary new child-friendly, single patient use holder which is effective, safe, simple, and versatile.
• The Q Position Holder is an emerging medical technology for children that standardizes the process of securely holding the child for medical procedures.
• Our 1/2” thick, soft polyurethane foam holder has no extraneous straps, boards, or hook & loop attachments.
• Our hope is that we can lessen the anxiety, fear, and distress which are ways that children respond to medical procedures.
• The Q Holder is used for short periods in highly monitored settings.
• No other position holder **leaves the chest, abdomen, and pelvis free for unrestricted respiration as well as uninterrupted tube and line placement**.

MOST PEDIATRIC MEDICAL PROCEDURES ARE BETTER PERFORMED WHEN THE CHILD IS MOTIONLESS

THE Q POSITIONER MAXIMIZES CONTACT, MINIMIZES MOVEMENT ALLOWING FOR SUFFICIENT STABILIZATION WITHOUT UNNECESSARY HANDS-ON

RADIATION REDUCTION
(REDUCCION DE LA RADIACION)

The opportunity to reduce radiation exposure is a critical issue within the pediatric radiology community. The Q assists with positioning for diagnostic X-Rays, thus fewer exposures could mean less radiation.

The Q allows the radiologic technologists to remain further from the primary and scatter radiation.
