Abstract
A lateral arm support device configured to support and anteriorly extend the arms of a patient away from the torso during a medical procedure. The lateral arm support device includes spaced apart panels, one forming a superior panel and the other forming an inferior panel, an upper arm support surface extending between the upper sides of the superior and inferior panels, and a lower arm support surface extending between the lower sides of the superior and inferior panels. The panels have shapes that define an anterior cutout extending from the anterior side of the lateral arm support towards the posterior side of the lateral arm support, beneficially allowing increased visualization and access to the lower arm of a patient. The lateral arm support device can be part of a patient positioning system configured to position a patient in a lateral decubitus position.
