What’s the i2i?

The i2i is a head positioning system that not only increase proper posture for the head but for the upper torso as well.

Anterior Arms

Lateral Components

Optional lateral pads limit neck rotation and lateral flexion. Individuals with muscle weakness and reduced head control may require the pads to be in close proximity to the head.

Chin Prompt

The chin prompt is to provide a prompt when contacted to lift the head. it can be raised and lowered, making it an excellent therapeutic tool to encourage neck muscle strengthening. The chin prompt was carefully designed to prevent airway obstruction or individual’s chin from rolling over the front. The closed cell foam prevents sinking into the support and the straps are designed to slide off the i2i if too much pressure is exerted. A custom chin prompt is also available specifically designed for a client with a trach.

Ear Cutouts Option

The cutouts are specifically designed to minimize contact with the ears and specifically folding of the ears during head turning. The ear cutouts lessen friction and pressure, thereby reducing irritation.

Adjustable Arms and Locking Mechanism

Adjustable anterior arms move laterally to ease transfers and removal of the i2i support. Once moved laterally, the anterior arms lock in place to maintain position.

Cover Options

The i2i has a number of cover options including Glide Skin, Neoprene (standard) and Sheepskin.

Glide Skin is a neoprene super 4-way stretch material that is waterproof and has a low heat conduction. The smooth rubbery surface makes it easy to maintain and clean. Glide Skin has excellent elongation performance and is lightweight.

Neoprene provides excellent insulation against cold and guards against abrasions like few materials do.

Sheepskin has excellent insulating properties and it is also resistant to flame and static electricity. Wool is considered by the medical profession to be hypoallergenic.
