Hinge Control and Abduction Positioning
Post-operative hip braces use a single lateral hinge that mounts on a waist belt and a thigh cuff, with numbered stops that set the permitted flexion and extension arc and block adduction across the midline. The belt and cuff adjust by hook-and-loop over a range of waist and thigh circumferences, and most braces are reversible for left or right. Abduction positioning pillows are foam wedges with leg straps that hold the legs apart in bed. Size and side options are listed on each product.
Hip braces and positioners are a lower-volume, surgically driven segment that reorders on hip arthroplasty and revision case load rather than routine turnover. Stocking a universal hip abduction brace and abduction positioning pillows keeps post-operative hip management supplied without deep inventory. Order at the best Wholesale Prices with MAP Medical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a hip abduction brace used for?
A hip abduction brace is a waist-and-thigh orthosis that limits hip flexion, extension and adduction through an adjustable lateral hinge, and is stocked to protect the hip after arthroplasty or dislocation by keeping the joint out of at-risk positions. The braces are carried in universal and sized formats and are reversible for left or right. The hinge range is set on the product records.
What is the difference between a hip abduction brace and an abduction positioning pillow?
A hip abduction brace is a wearable orthosis with a hinge that controls hip motion during activity and walking. An abduction positioning pillow is a foam wedge with leg straps that holds the legs apart to maintain abduction while the patient is in bed. Both are stocked; the brace controls motion and the pillow positions at rest.
What sizes are stocked in hip abduction braces?
Hip abduction braces are stocked in universal formats that adjust across a range of waist and thigh circumferences, and some lines add graded sizes for larger or smaller frames. Positioning pillows are carried in a standard foam-wedge size. The exact adjustment range for each brace is listed on the product record.
Can hospitals and clinics order hip braces and positioners in bulk?
Yes. Hip braces and positioners are stocked in case quantities for hospitals, surgery centers, orthopedic clinics, long-term care facilities and rehabilitation units, and licensed medical distributors. Standing order programs are available for the highest-velocity SKUs - universal hip abduction braces and abduction positioning pillows. Contact our procurement team for tiered case pricing and standing order setup.
What hip brace and positioner products should be included in a facility formulary?
A working hip brace and positioner formulary typically carries a universal hip abduction brace with adjustable hinge, abduction positioning pillows for bed positioning, and a hip and groin support wrap for soft-tissue cases. Surgery centers with hip arthroplasty volume stock multiple abduction brace sizes and reversible left or right units. MAP Medical builds consolidated formulary packages matched to facility type and patient volume - contact our team for an assessment.
