Abstract:     A limb support for elevating the distal end of a patient's limb. The support is formed from a generally conical body having a longitudinal through bore for accommodating the patient's limb. The distal end of the limb is positioned adjacent the base of the conical body to elevate the end when the limb support rests on a supporting structure. A portion of the conical body may be open to permit bending of the patient's elbow or knee joint.
