The Pigg-O-Stat is a specialized pediatric immobilization device that securely holds infants in place during radiographic procedures. It is specially designed to support the child's head, arms, and legs while keeping the body straight and still. This device is specifically designed for use with young children and can be safely used for erect abdomen radiographs. The other options listed are not typically used for pediatric patients or may not provide sufficient immobilization for this type of radiograph.
