The Leg/Arm Bandaging Supports - Standard have been designed to take the weight of a leg or arm when bandages are applied. The firm foam has convolutions where the leg, ankle or heel, or upper arm and wrist or hand rests, helping to prevent too much pressure under the leg or arm. The heat sealed cover is easy to wipe clean for hospitals where infection control is very important.
