Superficial palmar arch

Also known as arcus palmaris superficialis
Vascular arch in the palm formed predominantly by the ulnar artery with a contribution from the superficial branch of the radial artery. Lies on average 6–11 mm distal to Kaplan's cardinal line — the practical reason a carpal tunnel release incision stops well proximal to that line.
