BoneFoam's Leg Tunnels are lateral leg positioners designed to create a strong, stable operative surface while protecting the down leg. The Leg Tunnel is inserted between the thighs, with the tunnel side facing down.
Create a stable operative surface
The lateral decubitus position is useful for treating several traumatic injuries such as calcaneus and acetabulum fractures. In this position, it can be a challenge to provide a stable surface for surgical access to the operative leg while protecting the contralateral leg.
Making the complex simple
Consistent lateral positioning of a patient can be challenging for multiple reasons including availability of OR staff, body habitus of the patient, and the size of the surgical field required for a successful surgery. The Leg Tunnel supports proper positioning of the patient in the lateral decubitus position and is easily reproducible for all OR staff.
Accurate Imaging
The Leg Tunnel's foam is radiolucent and does not leave artifact during imaging. With BoneFoam positioning systems, accurate imaging is no longer complicated or hard to achieve. Our radiolucent foam keeps the down leg off-set from the operative limb to achieve a clear final image.

Repeatable and Reusable.
The Leg Tunnel is covered with a protective vinyl coating that makes it easy to clean for repeated use. The Leg Tunnel is lightweight, easy to store, and easily attaches to the operative table with built in straps.
