Product Title
Surgical Arm Board, Hand Rest & Side-Lying Scaffold Set | Stainless Steel & Carbon-Fiber X-Ray Transparent Designs with Memory Foam and PU Pads | Universal Operating Table Compatibility
Product Overview
This comprehensive surgical arm board, hand rest, and side-lying scaffold system provides a complete positioning solution for patients in supine, prone, lateral, and arm-horizontal surgical positions. Built on stainless steel frames for corrosion resistance and long-term structural reliability, the system pairs rigid support with high-density memory foam or polyurethane (PU) pads that protect patient skin, redistribute pressure, and reduce the risk of nerve injury during prolonged procedures.
Every variant in the range mounts to the operating table via a universal 16 mm fixing rod that is compatible with any brand of OT table — no proprietary adapters required. For facilities with specific requirements, custom pad dimensions are available on request, ensuring the system can be tailored to unique surgical workflows or non-standard patient anatomy.
The product family spans standard PU arm boards, premium memory-foam arm boards, carbon-fiber X-ray transparent arm boards for intraoperative imaging, side-lying and suspended scaffolds for lateral-position surgery, and specialized prone and lateral cushions — giving surgical departments a single-source solution for virtually every arm and trunk positioning need.
Key Features & Clinical Advantages
Stainless steel frame construction — All arm boards and scaffolds are built on medical-grade stainless steel frames that resist corrosion from repeated disinfection, maintain rigidity under load, and deliver the structural durability demanded by high-turnover operating rooms.
Dual pad options — memory foam or PU — High-density memory foam pads conform to the patient's anatomy for superior pressure redistribution during extended procedures; PU pads offer a firm, non-porous surface that wipes clean rapidly between cases, giving hospitals flexibility based on procedure duration and turnover requirements.
Carbon-fiber X-ray transparent option — The FP-008 series arm boards are fabricated from carbon fiber, providing full radiolucency for intraoperative fluoroscopy and X-ray imaging without removing the arm board — eliminating workflow interruptions and maintaining sterile field integrity during image-guided procedures.
Universal 16 mm fixing rod compatibility — Every model in the range attaches to the operating table via a standard 16 mm fixing rod that fits any brand of OT table side rail, simplifying procurement for multi-brand hospital environments and ensuring cross-facility interchangeability.
Custom pad dimensions available — Facilities with specialized surgical requirements can request non-standard pad sizes, allowing the system to accommodate unique procedural needs or atypical patient populations.
Multiple thickness options — Standard arm boards are available in pad thicknesses from 30 mm to 100 mm, enabling surgical teams to select the exact level of cushioning their procedures require — from thin, firm support for short cases to thick, pressure-relieving pads for long-duration surgeries.
Model Variants & Specifications
Standard Arm Boards — PU Pad Series
FP-007-A1 / A2 / A3 / A4 / A5 / A6 — Standard Arm Board
Built on a stainless steel frame with a plate size of 600 × 150 × 10 mm and equipped with a PU pad, this is the most widely used configuration for routine supine arm extension across general surgery, orthopedics, and intravenous access procedures. Six thickness variants are available — 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, and 100 mm — allowing each facility to standardize on the cushioning depth that best matches its case mix. The smooth PU surface is easy to wipe down with hospital-grade disinfectants, supporting fast case turnover.
Memory Foam Arm Boards
FP-007-B1 / B2 — Memory Foam Arm Board
Shares the same 600 × 150 × 10 mm stainless steel frame geometry as the FP-007-A series but upgrades to a high-density memory foam pad available in the same thickness range — 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 80 mm, 90 mm, and 100 mm. The memory foam conforms to the contour of the patient's forearm and wrist, distributing pressure evenly and significantly reducing the risk of ulnar nerve compression and soft-tissue injury during extended procedures. This series is the preferred choice for long-duration surgeries — including cardiac, neurosurgical, and complex orthopedic cases — where pressure relief over many hours is critical.
Pole-Length Adjustable Arm Board
FP-007-C1 — Pole-Length Adjustable Arm Board
Features a telescoping pole design available in 250 mm and 160 mm pole-length variants. The adjustable pole allows the arm board to share a fixing rod with another operating-table device mounted on the same rail — maximizing rail-space utilization when multiple positioning accessories must coexist on a single side of the table. This design is particularly valuable in complex procedures where arm boards, side supports, and infusion poles must all be mounted simultaneously without interfering with each other.
Carbon-Fiber X-Ray Transparent Arm Boards
FP-008-A1 / A2 / A3 / A4 / A5 / A6 — Carbon-Fiber X-Ray Transparent Arm Board
Matches the 600 × 150 × 10 mm dimensions of the FP-007-A standard arm board series but is constructed from carbon fiber instead of stainless steel, delivering full X-ray transparency for intraoperative imaging. Surgeons can obtain fluoroscopic views and radiographs without removing or repositioning the arm board — preserving the sterile field, reducing operative time, and maintaining uninterrupted arm support throughout image-guided procedures. Six thickness options are available, mirroring the FP-007-A range. This series is essential for orthopedic fracture fixation, vascular access procedures, and any surgery requiring real-time imaging with the arm in situ.
Side-Lying & Suspended Scaffolds
FP-009-A1 — Side-Lying / Suspended / High-Level Scaffold
Built on a universal 16 mm fixing rod with a 600 × 150 × 10 mm PU pad, this scaffold is designed to support the arm in an elevated, horizontal position during lateral-position surgery. The scaffold extends outward and upward from the table rail, creating a stable platform that holds the patient's upper arm at the required height without sagging. The system can be equipped with two hand straps to secure the limb and prevent unintended movement during the procedure.
FP-009-A2 — Multifunctional Scaffold
Features a 600 × 150 × 10 mm PU pad with extra reach to support the high arm during lateral cases. The scaffold's joint mechanism provides 15 cm of adjustable travel, allowing the support surface to be positioned precisely where the surgical approach demands. Additionally, the unit accepts an adjustable square two-hand strap configuration for low-side positioning, making this model a versatile, multi-position solution that adapts to both high-arm and low-arm lateral surgical setups within a single device.
FP-009-B1 — Side-Lying / Suspended Scaffold
Equipped with a 16 mm fixing rod and a slightly shorter 500 × 150 × 10 mm PU pad, this scaffold comes standard with two hand straps and is optimized for low-side surgery where the arm requires support at or below the level of the operating table. The compact pad width makes it well-suited for procedures where space around the lateral aspect of the patient is at a premium.
Lateral Position Cushions
FP-009-B2 — Lateral Cushion
A 400 × 150 × 150 mm to 400 × 150 × 100 mm high-density memory sponge cushion designed to provide ergonomic lateral support for surgical equipment and the patient's torso during lateral-position procedures. The tapered geometry conforms to the body contour, filling the space between the table surface and the patient to prevent lateral drift and maintain spinal alignment throughout the case.
PP-010 — Lateral Cushion
A 400 × 150 × 150 mm to 400 × 150 × 100 mm memory sponge cushion engineered specifically for ergonomic support during surgical lateral positioning. The high-resilience foam maintains its shape under sustained load while gently contouring to the patient's flank and thorax, reducing pressure points at the dependent rib cage and iliac crest — common sites of positioning-related injury during prolonged lateral surgery.
Prone Position Cushion
PP-011 — Abdominal / Prone Cushion
A large-format 840 × 460 × 100 mm high-density sponge cushion encased in an anti-static PU cover, purpose-built for prone and spine surgery positioning. The cushion's generous surface area supports the patient's torso from the upper chest through the pelvis, while the contoured design relieves pressure on the abdomen — allowing unrestricted diaphragmatic excursion and venous return during lengthy prone procedures. The anti-static PU cover prevents particulate attraction and is fully compatible with hospital disinfection protocols.
