The chest cushions are attached by way of four magnets. To
remove the cushion, simply grasp at both sides and twist toward
the headpiece with a lifting motion. The cushion is held in
correct position by alignment of two holes on the underside of
the chest cushion with the two nickel plated acorn nuts on the
thoraic drop plate.
CHEST CUSHION: STORAGE
When not using the chest cushion, consider:
1. Setting it aside.
2. Storing it in the space vacated by the extended ankle rest
section (photo above).
3. Use it as a bolster under the patient’s ankles when lying prone.
4. Use it as a bolster under the patient’s knees when lying supine.
This cushion provides a combination of soft foam in the breast
area and firmer foam surrounding, insuring adequate thoracic
support when the patient is lying prone. The firmer sternal
cushion allows for performing “anterior thoracic” adjustments.
CHEST CUSHION: PLACEMENT
Following Step 2 under the heading “When folding the table...”
on page 15 of the Tour Owner’s Manual, detatch and store the
gas spring and control lever in the reverse sequence that you
used in set up.
Note that the “operating end” of the gas spring must be positioned
with the cable attachment/lever apparatus pointing upward (see
photo 1 in this Addendum). The black cylinder of the gas spring
should be snapped into the spring clamps and positioned to re-
move all slack from the gray cable sheath. Attention to this
positioning will allow the two cushions of the headpiece to
straddle the apparatus when it is stored.
Interchangeable Chest Cushions
STANDARD CHEST CUSHION:
This cushion has a foam density that matches the firmness of
the rest of the table. This is likely the cushion you will use for
most patients.
