German term or phrase: Abduktionskissen
in a list of medical items supplied by a certain company: .....medizinische Bandagen, Stütz- und Abduktionskissen, Stützstrümpfe und Stützorthesen.....etc. I have found what it's for in an article about post-surgical care, but don't know what it would be in English

abduction pillows


Explanation:
That's what it means.

e.g.:

"Eighty-eight percent of patients were able to ambulate within the first week, weight bearing as tolerated with no postoperative restrictions, except for a simple abduction pillow for 2 weeks while in bed."
