Arm, Shoulder & Elbow Pads
Arm guards (medical arm pads) protect your patients’ biceps, elbows and forearms. Minimal movement and maximum protection are important to protect the radial nerves and bony prominences. Many times IVs are placed in the arms and must remain noticeable throughout procedures, so special padding is required. Remember, Akton® polymer gel can replace pillows in this vulnerable area, as it provides a more streamlined protection and does not bottom out. For the areas of the ankle, foot, heel and knee, check out our medical leg pads.
