WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?
The Arm Rest – 30 Degrees is designed to help hold a left or right arm in a raised position. This position may help reduce swelling, water retention, or oedema, and may improve blood circulation in the hand or arm.
Two options are available:
- Velour Cover – The removable grey velour can be hand or machine washed. Comes with a Non-Slip Pad that attaches on either side of the Arm Rest and is placed under the Patient’s body to keep the Rest in place and help prevent it falling off the side of the bed.
- Heat Sealed – The soft blue waterproof material that can be wiped clean with disinfectant for infection control. This option may be preferable for hospitals or nursing homes due to the fact it has no sewn seams.
WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?
The Arm Rest may be used after shoulder, arm, or hand surgery, such as a carpal tunnel operation. The Arm Rest may also be suitable for elevating the leg of above-knee amputee Patients.
BRIEF INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The Arm Rest can be used in bed, on a table or desk, or possibly a couch. It is suitable for children and adults and has a non-slip base to help keep it in place. Some Patients may sleep on their back, or depending on the operation, they might be able to turn partially onto their side, keeping their arm in the Arm Rest.
The weight of the bed sheet and blankets, etc. are taken by the top and sides of the Elevator, so they do not put a lot of pressure on the hand.
WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT MADE FROM?
Foam, Velour, Vinyl.
WARNING
Sometimes, due to the Patient deteriorating, the product may become unsuitable. Continuous monitoring is necessary and alternative products may be recommended. Consult your Therapist before using.
