Cradle Support Products for Positioning, Protection & Comfort

"Cradle" spans a surprisingly practical range of products across this collection — all sharing one idea: holding a part of the body securely and comfortably, whether that's a limb during surgery, a heel prone to pressure injury, or a patient suspended in a lift sling. What you need depends entirely on the task at hand, so it helps to sort by purpose.

For surgical and procedural positioning, the Cardinal Health Laminectomy Arm Cradle provides noninflatable foam support that keeps the arms stably placed during prone procedures — available singly or as a pair. In pressure-injury prevention, the EHOB Waffle Cradle Heel Cushion arrives pre-inflated and lined to offload the heel, one of the most vulnerable sites for skin breakdown in bedbound patients. The Dynatronics Bird & Cronin Cradle-Lite Elbow and Heel Protector Sleeves slip on easily, cushioning both elbows and heels with reusable foam in sizes up to X-Large.

Patient-lift users will find drive Seat U Slings and Seat and Back Slings built around 4- and 6-point cradle attachment systems. Sizing matters here for both fit and safety: the U Slings range from Small through X-Large with head support and weight capacities up to 600 lbs, while the mesh Seat and Back Sling suits users needing a breathable, quick-drying option rated to 400 lbs. Match the cradle point count to your lift's spreader bar before ordering.

Maternity support is covered too. The Comfy Cradle Maternity Support Belt uses an elastic, hook-and-loop design to relieve abdominal and lower-back strain during pregnancy — explore fit and sizing details in our dedicated Comfy Cradle collection. And for treatment settings, the BodyMed Massage Table includes a face cradle and multi-layered memory-foam system for practitioner and patient comfort alike.

Because these products serve very different clinical goals, focus first on the body part and setting — surgical arm positioning, heel offloading, lift transfers, or maternity support — then confirm size and weight capacity for a safe, reliable match.
