Savant Head Positioning
Custom gel head support.
Now containing 25% softer gel + stiffer lower support arms
The Savant Head Positioning System™ is custom mouldable gel support for the head.
​
Cool, light-weight and easily shaped by hand.
*Savant + Carbon Cover
​
The Carbon Cover is a new option for the Savant Head Positioning system that offers a durable and low-shear vinyl material which reduces friction from head movement. The Carbon Cover can be easily wiped with a cleaning solution or disinfectant to maintain a clean and low-profile head positioning device.
The Savant + Carbon Cover offers the same custom gel head-positioning as the original Savant but with the added benefit of reduced friction and easy infection control.
