Proximal Pad – prevents pressure on Radial Nerve
Ulnar Relief Level – relieves pressure on Ulnar Nerve
Multi Tiered Design – prevents stretch of Median Nerve
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:

“Arms should be positioned to decrease pressure on the postcondylar groove of the humerus (ulnar groove)”
“When arms are tucked at the side a neutral forearm position is recommended”
“Prolonged pressure on the radial nerve in the spiral groove of the humerus should be avoided”
“Extension of the elbow beyond a comfortable range may stretch the median nerve”
“When arms are abducted on arm boards, either supination or a neutral forearm position is acceptable”

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).”
