Description
Extra-Depth Neck Support for Geriatric Dental Patients
The Mediposture 6" iCore Geriatric Memory Headrest is purpose-built for practices that regularly treat elderly patients. The extra-thick 6" profile reduces the distance between the geriatric patient's neck and the dental chair headrest, making it easier to recline and position patients comfortably for treatment. iCore Technology maintains correct neck height and resists distortion throughout the procedure.
Recommended for geriatric dental patients only. For standard adult patients, see the 3.5" iCore or 4" iCore Memory Headrest.
iCore Technology: Built for Structural Performance
Unlike conventional memory foam headrests that compress and distort under load, the iCore design uses a 6-pound, high-density memory foam with a stiff inner-support core that preserves the headrest’s shape and height throughout the procedure. The sloping design gently tilts the patient’s head backward, promoting a greater open-jaw effect and setting the occlusal plane at 15–20 degrees for easier oral cavity access — reducing dental operator strain and improving chairside ergonomics.
Key Features
- 6" Extra-Thick Profile – Fills the void between the geriatric patient's neck and the dental chair for comfortable reclining and treatment positioning
- iCore Interchangeable Foam Core – Stiff inner-support core maintains correct neck height and resists distortion under load
- 6-lb High-Density Memory Foam – Superior structural integrity vs. standard memory foam headrests
- Sloping Design – Gently tilts the head backward for a greater open-jaw effect and improved oral cavity access
- Antimicrobial, Medical-Grade Urethane Cover – Designed for routine disinfection with standard dental operatory infection-control solutions
- Zipper Closure – Easy access to foam core for cleaning or swapping inserts
- Heavy-Duty Elastic Back Straps with Locking Clamp – Securely attaches to virtually any dental chair headrest
Choosing the Right Headrest Thickness
Headrest thickness should match your chair design and patient population. A headrest that is too thick will force the patient’s chin toward their chest:
- 3.5" – Recommended for articulating headrest dental chairs
- 4" – Recommended for flat-style or pull-out headrest dental chairs
- 6" (this product) – Recommended for practices treating geriatric patients with Osteoarthritis, where extra depth fills the void between chair and neck
