Product Description

The Alvarado Knee Support maintains a patients knee in a flexed, stable position during surgery.

The knee holder includes a base plate having two parallel rows of slots designed to hold the ends of a cylinder to which is attached a foot cradle. Each slot has the appearance of an inverted symmetric “T” allowing reversability of the orientation of the foot cradle.

The base plate has an “L”-shaped arm extending along its upper surface with a right angle bend to extend downwardly. The arm is sized to be received within an opening of a clamping bracket attached to a rail of a surgical table or other horizontal support surface on which the base plate has been placed, with the clamping bracket including structure allowing locking of the arm in fixed position to fix the position of the knee holder.

The base plate is sized to allow two knee holders to be mounted on a surgical table side by side to facilitate performance of a bilateral procedure. The knee holder includes a foot cradle having a reinforced foot receiving member and a cylindrical bracket having reduced diameter posts removably attachable to the cylindrical bracket and made of a material such as stainless steel.

The posts may be received in opposed slots in any one of three orientations for each of two opposed orientations of the foot receiving member.
