ABSTRACT:
A surgical arm rest is disclosed which cushions, supports and protects a patient's arm during surgery on the patient when in the prone position. The arm rest comprises an elongated member having a first end and a second end, with ridges defining a channel formed between the first and second ends which accepts the arm of the patient. The elongated member is tapered from the first end to the second end. The arm rest may be formed from a polyurethane foam or the like. A section is cut into the side of the arm rest to permit access to the patient's anticubical fossa by anesthesiologists and to permit the arm rest to fold at the elbow. The inside ridge at the lower section of the arm rest may also be cut away to permit access by the anesthesiologists to the forearm, wrist and hand of the arm of the patient.
