Usage

  • Install the leg supports only on compatible Plinth Medical couches, following the couch instructions and Plinth Medical guidance for accessories.
  • Securely attach the mounting hardware of each leg support to the designated fittings or rails on the couch frame.
  • Verify that all fixings, clamps and adjustment knobs are tightened before positioning the patient’s legs on the supports.
  • Adjust the height, angle and spacing of the supports to achieve safe, comfortable leg positioning tailored to the patient and procedure.
  • Check stability and security of the supports before and during use, and re-tighten adjustment mechanisms if any movement is detected.
  • Clean the upholstered surfaces and exposed framework between patients in accordance with local infection-control protocols and Plinth Medical’s cleaning recommendations for antimicrobial vinyl (typically using a mild detergent solution and avoiding harsh or abrasive cleaners).
  • Inspect the supports regularly for signs of wear, damage, loose hardware or upholstery degradation and arrange maintenance or replacement as required.

Contraindications

  • Do not use if the leg supports or mounting hardware appear damaged, deformed or unable to be securely fixed to the couch.
  • Not suitable for use on couches or frames that are not designed to accept these accessories or lack appropriate mounting points.
  • Use with caution in patients with lower-limb joint instability, acute trauma or severe pain; ensure positioning is clinically appropriate and comfortable.

Adverse Effects

  • Possible patient discomfort or pressure to the lower limbs if the supports are poorly positioned or over-tightened.

  • Potential damage to couch upholstery or frame if the supports are incorrectly installed or adjusted.

Storage Conditions

  • When not in active use, position or store the supports so they do not obstruct walkways or create a trip hazard.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure of upholstered surfaces to direct sunlight or strong heat sources to minimise fading and material degradation.
  • Clean and dry the supports after use according to infection-control and manufacturer guidelines to maintain upholstery and hardware condition.
