Occian^® Back

Order Information

Clinical evaluations in leading trauma centers demonstrate that, by simply replacing the standard back of the Miami J or Miami Jr. with the Intuitech™ pressure-relieving foam of the Occian Back, medical professionals can virtually eliminate occipital breakdown for multi-system trauma patients, without sacrificing c-spine stability.
