- a plurality of spaced apart wrap members extending on the first side from the central portion of the conformable material;
- a plurality of spaced apart wrap members extending on the second side from the central portion of the conformable material;
- and
- a gripping patch arranged on each of the wrap members to permit the wrap members to correspondingly engage one another upon the wrap members being wrapped about an arm of a patient;
- the central portion having a plurality of spaced apart openings therethrough;
- an elongated pillow for disposition upon an upper surface of the central portion for the resting of a patient's arm thereon, wherein the elongated pillow has a lower central portion engaging surface with gripping means thereon, to directly engage, through the plurality of spaced apart openings, a gripping means arranged upon an upper surface of an arm board on which the securement arrangement is placed.
