ABSTRACT:
A bilateral immobilization support is disclosed for placing and retaining the arms of a patient in an overhead position during patient examination, diagnostic procedures and/or radiation therapy. The adjustability of the wrist and upper arm supports carried upon a base provides for immediate accurate sizing adjustment in location consistent with the needs of the patient and continuing comfort for the duration of use. The initial settings of the support are visually observable and readily reproducible at subsequent times for the same or similar purposes during which the arms of the patient are immobilized and comfortably supported out of alignment with the area of the body being subjected to a medical procedure. The patient is not restrained, but with both arms above the head the patient inherently tends to relax and remain in a single position.
