ABSTRACT:
A medical bolster for alleviating the effects of poor circulation supports either the legs above the heart or the heart above the extremities to improve blood and lymph fluid flow in a patient. The collapsible bolster has an articulated frame pivotally connected together for adjusting the angle between the base frame member and the support frame member. A brace extends between the base frame and the support frame to fix and secure the frame in a selected position. The brace has a safety stop to prevent injury during collapse and the brace is oriented to vector the forces within the articulated frame.
