ABSTRACT:
An arterial wrist support for supporting a patient's extremity for arterial or intravenous care includes a substantial rigid, unitary molded body (12) adapted to matingly engage the patient's hand, wrist and at least a portion of the patient's forearm. Body (12) is anatomically shaped to accommodate the contours of the patient's arm and to position the patient's wrist at the proper angle to expose the radial artery for accurate, efficient handling of the arterial puncture. A removable pad (34) dimensioned to be positioned beneath the patient's wrist is provided and may be used to increase the angle of orientation of the patient's wrist to receive and start the arterial line. Wide resilient straps (20, 22) hold the patient's arm in position on body (12). Releasable contact fastening members (24) are fixed along the underside of body (12) for securing straps (20, 22) thereto.
