ABSTRACT:
A surgical arm pillow for use with an operating table and associated arm board supports at least one of a patient's laterally positioned arms and the associated shoulder when the patient is lying in a lateral position on the operating table. The surgical arm pillow is made from a resilient foam body that has a top edge and a bottom edge wherein the top edge defines a top arm support channel for receiving and supporting the top arm of the patient and the bottom edge defines a bottom arm channel for receiving the bottom arm the patient. The top arm support channel and the bottom arm channel are vertically spaced one from the other by a distance approximately equal to the width of the shoulders of a human torso at an end of the resilient foam body located most proximate to the patient. Further, the top arm support channel diverges from said bottom arm channel toward an end of the resilient foam body opposite from the patient.
