Medial Support
Stealth Medial Support
A hip abductor, or pommel, is used to maintain the legs in an abducted position. This is important to prevent excessive knee adduction, which can cause an improper seating position, pressure sores, hip displacement, or other physical problems.
Stealth offers fixed and removable hardware with multiple pad structure and size options so that you can achieve your pelvic positioning goals.
Make sure to set up the hardware so the knee touches the pad. The medial abductor prevents the knees adducting (coming together) and should not be used as positioning product.
