Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention include a radial arm board for use during a cardiac procedure with an upper arm board and a lower arm board. The radial arm board includes one or more motors to control the position of the arm with a control panel. The components of the radial arm board can be moved laterally, raised, and lowered, thus allowing multiple degrees of freedom for the device. The radial arm allows comfort for the patient, accessibility of the arm to the doctor, and eliminates the need for manual manipulation of the radial arm board.
Claims14
An arm board for use in a cardiac procedure comprising:
- a planar upper arm board to stabilize a patient's upper arm, a proximal end of the upper arm board coupled to a clip;

- and
- at least one motor operable to move the planar upper arm board with respect to the clip and the planar lower arm board with respect to the upper arm.
