Abstract
An arm positioning cushion for locating and supporting an arm of a patient above a base surface and in an orientation suitable for vascular radial access procedures. The arm positioning cushion includes a forearm support having a fingers contact surface at a first height above the base surface, an upwardly-curved wrist contact surface having an centerline apex at a second height above the base surface, and a first coupling portion. The arm positioning cushion also includes an elbow support having an elbow contact surface at a third height of the base surface, and a second coupling portion configured for linear-adjustable engagement with the first coupling portion to adjustably couple the forearm support to the elbow support. The third height is greater than the first height and less than the second height. In one aspect, the forearm support and elbow support may comprise a substantially homogeneous cushion material throughout.
