I have used canoe carrier foam blocks, cut at an angle. As all the Topcon arm rests I ever used stripped at the swivel point. I also felt the attached arm rests were too high for a lot of patients, the foam blocks work well, patients think they are comfortable.

We get the foam from a likely source, it is the foam blocks that ships in the lucentis boxes. We use an electric carving knife and cut one block into a wedge shape that will sit securely on the table and allows you to place the patients arm in many more comfortable positions that the bolt on type. Hope this helps.

Just sent you a business card. About 250.00 for arm rest with attached light. Can clamp to a table. I have mine permanently mounted, one on each side.

I tried to look through the archives but could not find anything. I'm in the need to purchase an armrest for my Canon camera. The camera table is only just large enough to hold the camera so there is no place for an arm to be propped up with a foam pillow or the like. I will need something that can clamp on to the table. Preferable something that can detach quickly and moved to the other side. Anyone out there that can recommend a supplier? Thanks, Kirsten Kirsten Locke, CRA., RN., FOPS.
