    • Shoulder-Mounted Armboard: This armboard slides under the table pad and is held in place by the patient’s weight. This mounting option provides a stable positioning solution that is easy to set up and adjust as needed.

  • Latex-Free and Reusable: The armboards are latex-free, catering to patients with latex allergies, and their durable construction allows for repeated use. This combination of features makes the Carbon Fiber Armboards a reliable and long-lasting addition to any surgical toolkit.

The Carbon Fiber Armboards embody the cutting edge of arm positioning technology, offering a balance of strength, comfort, and functionality that enhances surgical precision and patient care.
