Primary Examiner: Grosz; Alexander
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Miller; Austin R.

Abduction apparatus includes a resilient deformable pillow having a pair of generally oppositely facing elongated exterior surfaces skew to one another with a passageway extending through the pillow in a direction generally parallel said elongated exterior surfaces, with elongated flexible binding means residing in said passageway and having length in excess of passageway length sufficiently for overlapping respective ends of said binding means about a leg of a patient contacting one of said elongated surfaces of said pillow, with pressure-sensitive fastening and receptor means at respective ends of said binding means for holding said binding means about said leg of said patient thereby laterally immobilizing said leg of said patient with respect to said pillow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim the following: 1.
In abduction apparatus including a resilient deformable pillow having a pair of generally oppositely facing elongated exterior surfaces skew to one another and means for retaining a leg of a human patient respectively against one of said outwardly facing surfaces so that the patient's leg is substantially laterally immovable independently of said pillow, the improvement comprising: a.
a passageway extending through said pillow in a direction generally parallel with said elongated exterior surfaces and perpendicular to the direction of elongation thereof; b.
elongated flexible binding means extending from respective ends of the passageway and having length in excess of length of said passageway by an amount sufficient for overlapping respective ends thereof around one leg of a patient contacting one of said elongated surfaces of said pillow, and having a central portion residing slidably within and frictionally engaged by said passageway, said binding means being slidably removeable from said passageway upon application to one end of said binding means of tensile force sufficient to overcome said frictional engagement of said binding means by said passageway; c.
pressure-sensitive fastening means at one end of said binding means; d.
receptor means at an end of said binder means remote said fastening means for holding said fastening means upon hand application of said fastening means against said receptor means; wherein said binding means is resident within said passageway with binding means extremities extending from either end thereof.
2.
Apparatus of claim 1 wherein said binding means has a ribbon-like configuration.
3.
Apparatus of claim 2 wherein said receptor means and said fastening means are on opposite sides of said binding means.
4.
Apparatus of claim 3 wherein said receptor means covers an entire side of said binding means.
5.
Apparatus of claim 4 wherein said binding means and said passageway have substantially identical cross-sectional shape and size
