Cushion for 1001.45© type humerus support

This humerus positioner cushion compatible with 1001.45© type surgical fixtures features a viscoelastic memory foam core engineered for operating suites during shoulder and upper limb procedures. Tailored to fit the contoured shell of this specialized positioning bracket with mechanical precision, this pad provides an anatomically molded, stable, and protective contact interface essential for securing the patient's arm in beach-chair, semi-seated, or supine postures.
During total shoulder replacement, rotator cuff reconstruction, or proximal humerus fracture fixation, the patient's upper extremity is subjected to continuous intraoperative maneuvers, limb traction, and rotational torque. Responding directly to body heat and pressure, the memory foam molds precisely around the posterior contours of the arm. This even envelopment enlarges the weight-bearing contact area without creating rigid boundaries, preventing the limb from slipping or shifting within the bracket under procedural stress.

The foam padding is engineered to distribute heavy contact forces evenly across the targeted contact area, protecting vulnerable anatomical structures along the arm and elbow. It eliminates concentrated focal pressure spikes and completely isolates the upper extremity from the rigid metal or composite shell of the 1001.45© fixture. This effective cushioning actively protects against radial nerve compression, ulnar nerve impingement at the cubital tunnel, venous restriction, and intraoperative tissue damage during lengthy surgical cases under general anesthesia or brachial plexus blocks.
The protective outer coating strictly complies with hospital infection control standards. Fully waterproof and impermeable to blood, arthroscopic irrigation runoff, bodily fluids, and surgical skin preparation antiseptics, its smooth surface prevents fluid penetration. The cushion cleans and disinfects quickly between surgical procedures using standard hospital-approved surface disinfectant wipes or sprays.
