A method of estimating a pose of a surgical table comprises reading one or more fiducial markers on a base of the surgical table with a camera mounted to a manipulator assembly adjacent the surgical table. The surgical table includes a substrate and a support structure supporting the substrate. The substrate has a support surface. The support structure is movable such that the support surface of the substrate is positionable along one or more degrees of freedom (DOF).

A patient support system includes independently adjustable end columns supporting a centrally hinged, jointed or breaking patient support structure. At least one column includes a powered rotation assembly. The patient support includes at least two sections. A coordinated drive system provides for both upwardly and downwardly breaking or jointed orientations of the two sections in various inclined and tilted positions. Cable, cantilevered and pull-rod systems are included.

According to the present disclosure, a surgical patient support provides support to a patient. The surgical patient support may include configuration to accommodate various patient body positions to provide a variety of access to the patient's body.

A patient limb positioning apparatus comprises a movement assembly operating on a coupling bracket which can be engaged with the patient's limb, to move the limb according to a plurality of axes of movement. The movement assembly comprises, for at least one of said axes of movement, a drive unit which can be activated to move the coupling bracket according to a predetermined direction of movement. A load transducer detects a load transmitted between the coupling bracket and the drive unit in the respective direction of movement, to emit a signal representative of a detected load value. An electronic control unit is selectively switchable to a load control command mode and is suitable to cyclically compare the measured load value with a pre-set load value, to control activation of the drive unit when the detected load value differs from the pre-set load value.

The present disclosure relates to an operating table, the operating table comprising a table top, a table top support and a column with a column head, wherein the sealing device is bellows assembled below the column head, or an adhesive in a hole and/or window on the holder of the cable, or a sealing gasket between the receiver and the column head, or a shield sealingly attached to the column head below the gear. The present disclosure further relates to control equipment, a lifting device, an intelligent charger, a column guide system for an operating table, as well as an operating table including the same.

An apparatus that controls the rotation of an operative limb during shoulder surgery is composed of three parts: 1) a mechanism that is part of the durable apparatus, and which allows the limb to be suspended from the system and traction weights applied, but is configured in such a manner that the cable or other connecting member does not rotate about its axis; 2) a sterile connector that acts as the interface between the non-sterile durable apparatus and a sterile patient-contacting disposable drape; and 3) the disposable drape which is secured to the patient's operative arm. One of the sterile connector and the disposable drape contains a feature that allows the physician to rotate and hold the limb in any desired position, without requiring that it be manually held in place.

An extension foot sleeve is formed with an L-shaped foot-receiving shell having an external adapter block for arranging on an operating table and having quick-release clasps and detent tabs for securing a patient's foot. The foot sleeve makes it possible to easily clamp a patient's foot without turning it in the L-shaped foot-receiving shell and without moving cushioning material laterally, and also reliably prevents an accidental release of the quick-release clasps or undesirable contact between the operating team and same. The quick-release clasps are arranged in pairs to the right and left on side edges of the foot-receiving shell in an edge region of the L angle close to the heel and in an edge region of the upper end of the foot-receiving shell. The extension foot sleeve is associated with clamps having detent tabs on both sides, which can be inserted in parallel into the quick-release clasps.

There is provided herein an examination table that is capable of being converted to render either an examination configuration or a seating configuration. The table includes a planar table member having a suitable surface for the examination of a subject and is adjustable between a horizontal orientation for medical evaluation of the subject and a vertical orientation when in the table member is not in use for exams.

The present invention discloses an enhanced design of orthotic device with symmetrical estimations in stature and side width to provide enhanced stability. The assembly has three totally separate connectable levels which fit as blocks and enable the user to adjust each level as per individual requirements.
