ABSTRACT:
An adjustable limb holder apparatus for use in securing a patient's limb to a fixed object, to, in turn, substantially restrain movement of the limb. A cuff member, having a top surface and a bottom surface, is positioned about the limb of the patient, and preliminarily secured in position by cooperating cuff retention members operably attached to a portion of the top and bottom surfaces of the cuff member. A strap provides operable secured cooperation between the cuff member and the fixed object, and is attached to a substantially central region of the top surface of the cuff member. Attachment of the strap to the substantially central region serves to preclude the inadvertent, potentially painful and injurious, constriction of the strap about the limb--wherein such constriction would otherwise be caused as the result of the strap inadvertently tightening about the limb during movement of the substantially restrained limb in a direction away from the fixed object.
