Which base unit is appropriate for imaging applications?
The KanguruWeb® Universal base unit, item #2550, can be used anytime unrestricted groin
or lower abdominal site access is required. The Universal base is 34" in diameter for use on
all widths of beds, gurneys, procedure and exam tables.
If radiolucency is a requirement please refer to our fluoroscopy base unit, item #RB2500,
specifically developed for use in Cath/IR and EP labs.
Is the KanguruWeb® comfortable for the patient?
The KanguruWeb® has been tested on many patients suffering from various degrees of
obesity with excellent feedback on comfort. The Universal base unit can be positioned
directly under the patient with no requirement for additional padding. Some patients
even express a higher degree of comfort when the disposable web is secured and
the pannus is held firmly in place.
Will using the KanguruWeb® system impact the patient's anatomy?
Using the KanguruWeb® renders the patient's anatomy more appropriate. When the
pannus is firmly retracted, access to the lower abdominal and groin area is unrestricted.
How do I clean the base unit?
The base unit can be cleaned using a hospital approved disinfectant. Wipe it down
after each use. Any remaining stains can be removed by submerging the base unit in
soapy water. Do not autoclave.
Does it take two people to deploy the device?
No. Two people are preferred and will make the deployment more expeditious;
however, you can deploy on one side first, then move to the other side of the bed,
gurney or table and deploy the other side.
How can I purchase the KanguruWeb® system?
The Universal base unit can be purchased through Milamy Partners. Call our customer
service department at 207-846-1216 for more information.
