Abstract: A support apparatus for positioning an individual's arm while the individual is in a supine position comprising a first portion configured to rest across the midsection of an individual's body and a second portion configured to rest alongside the individual's upper body. The first portion and the second portion both comprise a top surface and a bottom surface and at least one of the top surface of the first portion and the top surface of the second portion are further indented to receive one or more parts of the individual's arm. The bottom surface of the first portion is further indented to receive the individual's midsection. The configuration of the first portion and the section portion of the support apparatus further enables the individual's shoulder to be positioned in a neutral position.

Abstract: A medical device immobilizes a patient's head and enables the patient to lie face down without turning the face to either side. A cushioned face-shaped frame has a rigid convex open mesh attached to it so that the patient's face is spaced apart from a support surface when the periphery of a patient's face lies against the cushioned frame. A transversely extending base having an adjustable height is connected to the frame by an interconnecting member having an adjustable length. The patient's chest overlies the base and therefore the face-receiving frame is held against movement when the device is in use. The effective height of the base and its distance from the frame are adjustable for the comfort of the patient.
