DIRECTIONS FOR USE
ADJUSTABLE BREAST COMFORT (ABC) SYSTEM (OPTION)
CAUTION
• ABC System Weight Limit - 100 lbs. (45 kg.) Do not sit on the ABC System.
• Do not place foreign objects into the ABC System. Only use as intended.
• For safety of your client, use a cloth sheet between the ABC System
and your client.
SUPINE POSITIONING
When turning clients over to supine, you
may use the cushion to level after or
during their change of position. IT is not
important that the cushion be completely
level. As in prone positions, make small
changes in height and check in with the
client.
PRONE POSITIONING
In Prone positions, for male or female
clients when the face rest is in use,
lower the cushion approximately 3/4” at
a time (This is approximately 1 second
of lowering) and check in with the client
regarding their comfort right after mak-
ing the change. Incrementally lower the
cushion until the client reports they are
comfortable. Sometimes going back up
a little will be preferred. This whole pro-
cess takes no more than 15-20 seconds.
After lowering, check headrest position to
ensure comfort & support. Once a client’s
preferences are known, the cushion can
be brought to that level before they are
on the table.
NOTE: Breast size is not
the only determinate of cushion location.
Every person’s comfort spot is different,
regardless of breast size.
HEAD REST USE IN SUPINE
If you are using the head rest in the
Supine position, you may use the cush-
ion at relatively high heights to facilitate
stretching for short periods of time. It is
not recommended that clients experience
this position for more than a few minutes.
The O
akworks
®
Adjustable Breast Comfort (ABC) System is designed to lower the pressure on breasts and pectoral
muscles, allowing the client to relax and create a more comfortable position for their spine. The height of the cushion is
easily adjusted up and down in small increments by using the hand control. We recommend that the cushion height be
adjusted in the following ways:
*Always start with the cushion top level with the top of the table for Prone or Supine Positioning*
