Cushion for 1004.90CD© type counter-traction perineal posts

This counter-traction post cushion compatible with 1004.90CD© type surgical traction fixtures, featuring a diameter of 130 mm and a length of 235 mm, is engineered for operating suites to protect patient soft tissues during major lower limb orthopedic and trauma procedures. Designed to fit the vertical perineal counter-traction rod on fracture tables and extension frames, this tubular pad provides an anatomically contoured, stable, and protective contact interface essential for safe axial distraction.
During intramedullary femoral nailing, intertrochanteric fracture reduction, and total hip arthroplasty performed on an extension table, the counter-traction post withstands substantial procedural forces. With its slender 130 mm outer diameter and 235 mm working length, this cushion establishes a precise, targeted perineal contact surface, particularly suited for narrower patient anatomy or setups where space around the pelvic arch is limited. It absorbs persistent counter-pressures generated during fracture manipulation without bottoming out, preserving skeletal alignment while maintaining clear fluoroscopic imaging access under C-arm guidance.

The internal foam padding is engineered to distribute heavy contact forces evenly across the targeted perineal contact area and the ischiopubic rami. It eliminates concentrated focal pressure spikes and completely isolates the patient from the rigid metallic or composite core of the 1004.90CD© fixture. This effective cushioning actively protects against pudendal nerve compression neuropathy, cutaneous ischemia, deep bruising, and perineal soft tissue breakdown during lengthy surgical cases under general or spinal anesthesia.
The protective outer coating strictly adheres to hospital infection control standards. Fully waterproof and impermeable to blood, irrigation fluids, 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.
