Midmark 9A550001-231 - ARM, ARTICL, 28", UPLSTRY, PREM, NAVY, EACH
The Midmark 9A550001-231 articulating upholstery arm is a precision-designed clinical support accessory engineered to improve patient positioning and procedural stability. Built with a 28 inch articulating structure and finished in premium navy upholstery, this arm attachment integrates seamlessly with compatible Midmark examination and procedure tables. The component supports accurate positioning during exams, minor procedures, injections, blood draws, and monitoring, while maintaining patient comfort and safety.
Healthcare environments demand equipment that balances ergonomic workflow with patient-centered care. This articulating arm delivers controlled adjustability, allowing clinicians to reposition the patients arm smoothly without unnecessary strain or repeated adjustments. The premium upholstery surface provides durability against repeated cleaning and disinfecting while maintaining a professional clinical appearance.
The assembly is manufactured for long-term reliability in busy outpatient clinics, surgical centers, and physician offices. Its reinforced internal structure ensures stable support during use, while the padded surface distributes pressure evenly to help prevent discomfort during extended procedures.
Key Benefits
The articulating design enables controlled positioning for accurate procedural access. Clinicians can move the arm to the correct angle without lifting or forcing the patient into awkward positions.
The 28 inch support length accommodates a wide range of adult patients, ensuring consistent positioning across diverse patient populations.
Premium upholstery improves patient comfort during extended examinations, infusion setups, and diagnostic monitoring sessions.
Durable construction withstands frequent use in high-volume facilities while maintaining structural stability.
Cleanable surface supports infection control protocols and simplifies daily maintenance.
Stable support reduces movement during injections, venipuncture, and monitoring, improving procedural accuracy.
Compatibility and Applications
This articulating arm is designed for use with compatible Midmark examination and procedure tables that support modular accessory mounting systems. It is commonly installed in primary care clinics, specialty practices, ambulatory surgery centers, urgent care facilities, and diagnostic treatment rooms.
Typical clinical uses include venipuncture, IV therapy preparation, minor dermatologic procedures, vaccinations, cardiovascular monitoring setup, and patient stabilization during imaging preparation. The adjustable support also assists in rehabilitation assessments and neurological exams requiring limb positioning.
Usage Guidelines
Attach the arm securely to the approved mounting rail or accessory interface before patient use. Verify locking mechanisms are fully engaged to prevent unintended movement.
Adjust the articulation slowly while supporting the patients limb to ensure safe positioning. Avoid abrupt repositioning.
Position the patients arm centrally along the padded surface to distribute pressure evenly and prevent discomfort.
After use, return the arm to its neutral position before assisting the patient off the table.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The component is manufactured according to medical equipment quality manufacturing standards and is designed for use within professional healthcare facilities. Materials are selected for compatibility with medical cleaning agents and standard clinical disinfectants. The upholstery is formulated for repeated sanitation cycles without premature degradation.
Comparison with Competitors
Unlike generic positioning arms, this model is engineered specifically for Midmark clinical systems, ensuring precise fit and stable integration without modification. Competing aftermarket supports often rely on universal clamps that may loosen over time or cause misalignment during procedures.
The premium upholstery surface also exceeds many standard vinyl supports by providing improved durability and comfort. The articulating joint mechanism offers smoother adjustment compared to fixed or friction-based alternatives, reducing clinician effort during patient positioning.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
Primary care physicians use the arm during injections and routine examinations where stable positioning improves efficiency. Nurses rely on the support during blood collection and IV preparation to reduce patient movement. Specialists such as dermatologists and cardiology technicians benefit from predictable positioning during monitoring and treatment procedures.
Facilities performing high volumes of outpatient procedures particularly benefit from consistent positioning support that speeds workflow while maintaining patient comfort.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Clean the upholstery after each patient using approved disinfectants. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the surface finish.
Inspect articulation joints regularly for smooth motion and secure locking.
Confirm mounting hardware remains properly tightened according to facility maintenance schedules.
Store in neutral position when not in use to reduce mechanical wear.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This accessory is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals within clinical environments. It should only be used with compatible equipment as specified by facility equipment guidelines. Do not exceed typical patient limb support loads. Replace the component if structural damage, instability, or upholstery compromise is observed.
