Gel Ulnar Nerve Protector, Large

The SmartGuard Gel Ulnar Nerve Protector, Large, sized at 20”L x 5.75”W x 2.25”H), is designed to protect the ulnar nerve in the elbow and forearm during patient positioning in surgical procedures. Commonly used when a patient's arm is tucked to the side or positioned in supine, lithotomy, or lateral positions where the ulnar nerve is at risk of being compressed.

Key advantages include:

• Gel positioners maintain shape under the patient's weight to provide a more consistent support surface and pressure distribution compared to foam positioners.
• No-slip backing
• Radiolucent, latex-free gel maintains imaging clarity and patient safety. Can be heated and cooled. See general case and use guide for more details.
• OR-durable reuse: Recommended to be used with AMD's impervious armboard covers for infection control benefits but can be used without. Should be cleaned & disinfected with hospital-approved alcohol-free disinfectants after every use.
