Abstract
A method of using a cushioned support device includes providing a cushioned support device, which includes a pad having a top surface covering a pair of pontoons configured to extend parallel to a patient's leg. The top surface includes a first material extending along lateral sides of the pad and a second material, different from the first material, covering a center portion of the pad, the second material configured to conform to the patient's leg. The cushioned support device further includes a securing system coupled to the pad. The method further includes placing the patient's leg on the cushioned support device such that the patient's leg is disposed on the pad aligned with the second material and securing, via the securing system, the patient's leg to the pad.
