Oakworks Boiance Float - Manual

USER MANUAL -
Boiance ™ Float
PRODUCT USE
The O
akwOrks ® Boiance Float is designed to allow the client’s head to move
over a small range, allowing natural freedom of motion.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Maximum Weight Capacity: 20 lbs. (9 kg.)
DO NOT use excessive force on a person’s head while using the Float.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
* Note: The Boiance Float may not work with face rest platforms that do not have a Velcro surface
1. Install the face rest platform on your table without a face rest pad. (image 1)
2. When using with a QuickLock Face Rest, press the loop Velcro wings firmly onto the sides of the tubes where the hook Velcro is *
(image 2a & 2b)
3. Place your face rest pad on top of the Float and press it into place. (image 3)
TIPS FOR GREAT POSITIONING
1. The Float adds about 1” to the height of the face rest pad when there is weight on it. If you have an adjustable height platform,
such as Oakworks QuickLock Face Rest Platform or Adjustable Face Rest Platform, adjust the height to fit your client. (image 4)
2. When the client lies down, make sure they are centered in the range of motion of the face rest. This will insure that they will have
equal freedom of movement in all directions. The Float allows the head to move approximately 1.5” from neutral in every direction.

3. The Float is designed to offer increasing resistance to movement the farther from center a person’s head moves. This creates a sense
of security and promotes safe movement of their head. It is recommended that movement of the head is minimal in the first few
minutes to allow the client to acclimatize to the freedom of movement.
4. For supine positions, cervical support can be achieved by turning the Float and face rest pad 180 degrees on the platform. (image 6)
The Float and face rest pad can also be placed directly on the table top for supine positioning. (image 7)
5. For the ultimate in comfort, combine a Boiance Face Rest Crescent with the Float. (image 8)
6. Remove your face rest with Float from the table and store flat when not in use.
