Cardinal Health FP-ARTKNEE - Arthroscopic Knee Positioner High-Density Foam, Latex-Free, Single-Use Surgical Support for Optimal Leg Stabilization, 10/CS

Product Overview

The Cardinal Health FP-ARTKNEE Arthroscopic Knee Positioner is a high-density, latex-free foam support designed to elevate, stabilize, and protect the leg during arthroscopic knee procedures. Engineered for optimal patient comfort and surgical access, this positioner maintains proper limb alignment and minimizes shifting throughout the operation.

Manufactured from medical-grade polyurethane foam, it features a supportive structure that conforms to patient anatomy while preventing pressure injuries. Its single-use design helps uphold strict infection control protocols in operating rooms and ambulatory surgical centers.
