ABSTRACT:
An arm support for supporting a patient's arm(s) during surgical and medical procedures such as angioplasty has an elongated rectangular strip of flexible fabric long enough to pass laterally beneath the supine body of such a patient, with lateral strips of mating fastening means such as VELCRO.RTM. adjacent each end of the strip's upper surface when in use, and two sets of at least two longitudinal strips of mating fastening means positioned on either side of the upper surface of a central portion where the patient's torso is to be positioned, which mate with the latter strips when each end of the fabric strip is looped about the patient's arm(s) for support.
