Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides guidelines and product information related to the prevention of perioperative peripheral neuropathies, focusing on the positioning of patients' arms during surgery to prevent nerve injuries. It references standards from the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) and the Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN).
ASA Advisory Highlights
  • Arms should be positioned to reduce pressure on the ulnar groove.
  • Neutral forearm position is recommended when arms are tucked at the side.
  • Avoid prolonged pressure on the radial nerve in the humerus spiral groove.
  • Elbow extension beyond a comfortable range may stretch the median nerve.
  • When arms are abducted, either supination or a neutral forearm position is acceptable.
AORN Standards
  • Arms placed at the side should be in a neutral position with elbows slightly flexed and palms facing inward.
NervPro System Features
  • Ulnar Relief Level to relieve pressure on the ulnar nerve.
  • Hand Positioning Channel for securing a neutral hand position.
  • Multi-Tiered Design to prevent stretching of the median nerve.
  • Proximal Pad to prevent pressure on the radial nerve.
  • Removable Foam Sections to fit all arm lengths and allow natural hand positioning.
Product Benefits
  • Minimizes pressure on the ulnar nerve and protects the radial nerve.
  • Prevents elbow extension and provides natural hand positioning.
  • Distributes weight over the entire arm length for maximum comfort.
  • Complies with ASA and AORN standards, supporting risk management goals.
Clinicians' Feedback
