C Proximal Pad - prevents pressure on Radial Nerve
A Ulnar Relief Level - relieves pressure on Ulnar Nerve
D Multi Tiered Design - prevents stretch of Median Nerve
B Hand Positioning Channel - secures neutral hand position
Removable Foam Sections - fits all arm lengths - allows natural hand position
ASA Advisory for Prevention of Perioperative Peripheral Neuropathies states:
"When arms are abducted on arm boards, either supination or a neutral forearm position is acceptable"
A "Arms should be positioned to decrease pressure on the postcondylar groove of the humerus (ulnar groove)"
B "When arms are tucked at the side a neutral forearm position is recommended"
C "Prolonged pressure on the radial nerve in the spiral groove of the humerus should be avoided"
D "Extension of the elbow beyond a comfortable range may stretch the median nerve"
AORN Perioperative Standards and Recommended Practices[2] states:
"When the patient's arms are placed at the side of the body, they should be in a neutral position (i.e. the elbows slightly flexed, wrist in a neutral position, palms facing inward)."
