Positioning Sponges

Positioning sponges provide the foundational support technologists need to achieve accurate, stable patient positioning during imaging. Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and coatings, these sponges help reduce motion, maintain alignment, and enhance image quality across radiography, CT, and specialty procedures. From simple wedges to complex multi-angle supports, positioning sponges play an essential role in delivering consistent, repeatable imaging results.

RCS Insights

“When choosing positioning sponges, the biggest priorities are stability, patient comfort, and how well the sponge maintains image quality.

Look for options that minimize artifacts—such as coated or fully radiolucent designs—so you’re not fighting shadows or repeat exposures during imaging.

You’ll also want shapes and sizes that support proper anatomical alignment, especially for patients who have mobility challenges or difficulty holding still. High-quality sponges improve workflow, reduce retakes, and make both the technologist’s and patient’s experience smoother and more predictable.”
