Midmark 9A81001-999 - Armboard Artc Camel w/Pad/Clp 24x7" Ea
The Midmark 9A81001-999 articulating armboard is designed to provide stable and ergonomic patient arm positioning during examinations, treatments, and minor procedures. Measuring 24 x 7 inches, this armboard features a durable camel-colored upholstery surface with integrated padding for patient comfort and a secure clamp attachment for reliable mounting to compatible procedure tables and chairs. The articulating design allows clinicians to adjust positioning quickly without interrupting workflow, improving both patient safety and practitioner efficiency.
This armboard supports a wide range of clinical environments including outpatient surgery centers, primary care clinics, dermatology practices, and specialty procedure rooms. The included pad reduces pressure points while maintaining firmness necessary for injections, blood draws, and minor surgical preparation.
Key Benefits
The articulating mechanism allows smooth multi-angle positioning to accommodate different procedures and patient body types. The included clamp ensures secure attachment to the exam table rail, minimizing movement during delicate procedures. The padded upholstery surface promotes patient comfort during longer procedures and reduces the risk of nerve compression.
The medical-grade upholstery is easy to clean and resistant to common disinfectants, supporting infection control protocols. The compact 24 x 7 inch footprint provides sufficient arm support without interfering with clinician access. The neutral camel color integrates well with a wide range of clinical furniture.
Compatibility and Applications
The armboard is designed for use with compatible Midmark exam and procedure tables equipped with mounting rails. It is commonly used in phlebotomy, IV therapy, injections, dermatologic treatments, wound care, and minor surgical preparation. The adjustable articulation supports both supine and seated patient positioning.
Clinicians can position the armboard laterally, forward, or slightly elevated to achieve proper vascular access alignment. This makes it particularly useful in infusion therapy, outpatient surgery preparation areas, and treatment rooms where consistent positioning is required.
Usage Guidelines
Attach the clamp securely to the procedure table rail before positioning the patient. Adjust the articulation joints gradually to avoid sudden movement. Ensure the patients arm rests fully on the padded surface with the elbow supported to prevent strain.
After positioning, verify stability before initiating injections, venipuncture, or procedures. The armboard should remain stationary throughout treatment to ensure safety and accuracy. Remove and reposition only when the patient is not actively undergoing a procedure.
Certifications and Safety Standards
This accessory is manufactured to meet medical furniture performance and durability standards for clinical environments. The materials are designed to withstand routine hospital-grade disinfectants without degradation. The clamp mechanism is engineered for secure mounting to prevent unintended detachment during normal clinical use.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared to fixed-position armboards, the articulating Midmark model offers significantly improved flexibility and ergonomic adjustment. Many generic armboards require repositioning of the patient, while this model allows repositioning of the support itself.
The integrated padding provides better pressure distribution than rigid plastic alternatives. Additionally, the Midmark mounting clamp offers a tighter and more reliable hold than universal clamp systems commonly found in aftermarket accessories.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This armboard is ideal for nurses, medical assistants, phlebotomists, and physicians performing injections, blood draws, or minor procedures. It is frequently used in outpatient clinics, urgent care centers, ambulatory surgery centers, and specialty practices such as dermatology and orthopedics.
In high patient volume settings, the adjustable design helps standardize positioning across patients, improving workflow efficiency and reducing staff fatigue from repeated repositioning.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Clean the upholstery surface after each patient using approved disinfectant wipes. Inspect the clamp and articulating joints regularly to ensure secure function. Avoid overtightening adjustment knobs, which may cause premature wear.
Store in a neutral position when not in use to prolong joint life. Replace padding if damage or excessive wear is observed to maintain patient comfort and hygiene standards.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This arm support accessory is intended for professional healthcare environments only. It should be installed and operated by trained clinical personnel. Do not exceed normal positioning pressure and always verify secure attachment prior to use. Regular inspection is recommended to maintain compliance with facility safety protocols.
