For patients required to lay in a supine position with their arms positioned above their head, feeling comfortable is almost an impossible without a support. This arm(s) positioner, called the “ATTENUATE ARMS POSITIONER," offers improvements over similar products. It's constructed of high-density foam—soft, yet firm. A polyethylene material supports the base. A polyethylene base helps maintain rigidity and the handle on the base makes for ease in handling and to store on the wall when not in use. A slightly elevated angle allows the arms to rest, with an additional angle for the wrist area. Patients have a choice: to hold onto a soft "Grip Ring" (included) or just relax.
