Occian™ Back

Wave Goodbye To Occipital Breakdown. 

The Occian™ Back is designed exclusively for the specialized needs of the multi-system trauma patient in the ICU. Universally sized, specifically engineered and designed with advanced, Intuitech™ pressure-relieving memory foam, the Occian Back helps caregivers manage c-spine patients who are at high risk of occipital breakdown. By simply replacing the back half of a Miami J® Collar with the Occian Back, medical professionals can improve outcomes while providing patients with an "ocean" of comfort and pressure distribution. As shown below, clinical evaluations in leading trauma centers demonstrate that this product virtually eliminates occipital breakdown without sacrificing c-spine stability.
 
 
There is a consistent thread of preventative indications for the Occian Back. These include patients with c-spine precautions who are at high risk of developing occipital breakdown, including:

• Candidates for specialty beds/surfaces
• Patients you are unable to turn due to presence of:
   - neurological instability
  ­ - pulmonary instability
  ­ - hemodynamic instability
  ­ - pelvic fractures
  ­ - skeletal traction
• Patients who are not awake and alert within 24-48 hours after admission
• Patients with pre-existing skin injuries and/or lacerations to the
  head/neck
• Burn patients who must wear a collar
• Elective surgery patients desiring nighttime post-operative comfort
