Midmark 9A81001-999 - Armboard Artc Camel w/Pad/Clp 24x7" Ea
The Midmark 9A81001-999 articulating armboard is designed to provide stable and comfortable arm positioning during examinations, treatments, and minor procedures. Built for clinical reliability, the armboard features a durable support platform measuring 24 x 7 inches, allowing providers to safely position a patients arm without compromising circulation or comfort. The integrated articulating mechanism allows smooth adjustment to multiple angles, helping clinicians work efficiently while maintaining proper ergonomics.
This model includes a supportive padding surface upholstered in a camel tone material that complements modern exam room aesthetics while remaining easy to clean and maintain. The included mounting clip ensures secure attachment to compatible examination tables, allowing confident positioning during venipuncture, injections, wound care, and diagnostic procedures.
Key Benefits
The articulating design allows clinicians to adjust the armboard quickly, reducing repositioning time and improving workflow efficiency. The large platform distributes pressure evenly across the patients forearm, minimizing discomfort during longer procedures.
The padded surface enhances patient comfort while reducing the risk of skin irritation or pressure points. The upholstery material is resistant to routine disinfectants commonly used in healthcare settings, supporting infection control protocols.
The secure mounting clip provides dependable stability, helping prevent unwanted movement during procedures requiring precision. The camel color blends well with many upholstery styles, making it suitable for new installations and equipment replacements.
Compatibility and Applications
This armboard is designed for use with compatible Midmark examination tables and procedure chairs equipped with mounting rails or attachment points that accept standard clinical armboard clips. It supports a wide range of patient care environments including primary care clinics, outpatient surgical centers, dermatology practices, infusion centers, urgent care facilities, and specialty practices.
Common applications include blood draws, IV therapy setup, injections, casting support, wound dressing changes, and minor surgical procedures. The adjustable positioning makes it especially valuable in settings where precise arm stabilization is necessary for both patient safety and clinical accuracy.
Usage Guidelines
Before use, confirm the mounting clip is securely attached to the compatible table rail. Adjust the armboard to the desired angle prior to positioning the patients arm. The arm should rest fully on the padded surface without hanging over the edge to ensure proper support.
During procedures, verify the articulating joint remains locked in position. After completion, gently reposition the armboard to its resting position to prevent accidental impact with surrounding equipment.
Clean the upholstery using approved disinfectants following standard facility protocols. Avoid excessive saturation to preserve the integrity of the padding.
Certifications and Safety Standards
The armboard is manufactured to meet medical equipment durability expectations for repeated clinical use. Materials are selected to withstand routine cleaning agents commonly used in healthcare facilities. The stable attachment mechanism supports safe positioning consistent with general patient support accessory standards used in examination and treatment rooms.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared to fixed arm supports, the Midmark articulating armboard offers greater positioning flexibility, allowing clinicians to adapt to patient size and procedure type. The padded surface provides superior comfort compared to rigid plastic alternatives often found in basic accessories.
Many generic armboards rely on simple brackets that may shift during procedures. The included clip mechanism in this model offers improved stability and predictable positioning. Additionally, the upholstery finish maintains a professional appearance longer than fabric covered alternatives that stain or wear quickly.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This armboard is suited for nurses, medical assistants, phlebotomists, physicians, and surgical technicians who require reliable arm positioning during patient care. It is commonly used in facilities performing frequent injections or infusion therapy where patient comfort and positioning accuracy are essential.
In outpatient clinics, it assists during vaccinations and diagnostic sampling. In specialty practices such as dermatology or orthopedics, it provides steady support for precise procedural work. In urgent care environments, it allows quick setup while maintaining patient stability.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Inspect the articulating joint regularly for smooth movement and proper locking function. Wipe down the padding after each patient encounter to maintain hygiene standards. Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools that may damage the upholstery surface.
Periodically check the mounting clip for wear or loosening to maintain safety. Store the armboard in a neutral position when not in use to extend the life of the adjustment mechanism.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This accessory is intended for professional healthcare environments and should be installed only on compatible equipment. Users should follow facility infection control procedures when cleaning between patients. Always confirm proper attachment prior to patient use to prevent accidental movement during care.
Do not exceed intended support use or apply excessive lateral force. The armboard is designed for arm support only and not for weight bearing activities.
