Use of MOLDCARE Cushions in the Immobilisation of Extremities

This is a Case Report from Cork University Hospital in Ireland.

They now always use MOLDCARE cushions (HN 1 and HN E) for all their limb immobilization when using the Orfit Extremities Board and / or Leg Bridge.

At first, they attempted to use vacuum cushions but had problems making them narrow enough to allow the thermoplastic masks to clip into the board either side of the leg or arm.

They have found the patient is much more comfortable and therefore much more likely to remain still throughout their treatment. Similarly, the reproducibility has become excellent and we rarely require moves of more than 1 - 2mm.
