Various embodiments, aspects and features of the present solution encompass a manually adjustable patient positioning device that is configured to reside on an operating table and outside the sterile field of a surgical environment. A carriage assembly rides along a pair of parallel guide rails and supports a cushioning device. A patient's foot, for example, may be placed on the cushioning device such that repositioning of the carriage assembly along the guide rails causes manipulation of the position and degree of articulation for the patient's knee during an orthopedic surgery.

Some systems, devices and methods detailed herein provide adjustable restraint device maintaining a selected position of a person relative to a support structure, for example, to maintain a safe and customizable patient position during a surgical procedure or during medical transport. For example, in particular embodiments, the adjustable restraint devices can be releasably lockable at a customized position along the surgical table and can be conveniently manipulated to a curved or other customized configuration (e.g., to engage with a patient's limb) before being releasably locked into that particular customized configuration.

An articulating patient support table comprises first and second patient support sections hingedly connected together along respective hinge ends. A longitudinal translation subassembly connected to a base by a position adjustable pedestal supports the first patient support section in cantilevered relationship. The position adjustment assembly includes a lift mechanism operable to raise and lower the longitudinal translation subassembly relative to the base and a pivot assembly operable to pivot the longitudinal translation subassembly fore and aft and side to side relative to the base.

A stabilizing pad configured for positioning on a surgical table onto which a patient is placed for a surgical procedure, the stabilizing pad comprising: a high friction top surface; and a high friction bottom surface; wherein the stabilizing pad comprises foam.

A system deployable in post-mortem rooms and other facilities for facilitating medical examinations, including autopsies. A system as described includes a corpse-receiving station and an organ dissecting station, each being in some embodiments substantially rectangularly shaped and having a longest length dimension. The corpse-receiving station and organ dissecting station are in some embodiments arranged so their longest length dimensions are oriented substantially perpendicularly, having a formation resembling an L-shape when viewed from an overhead perspective. A system of the instant technology eliminates the necessity for pathologists and technicians of having to lift a subject or corpse, by virtue of the corpse-receiving station being configured and equipped to be selectively height-adjustable, which also eliminates the need for step-stools and the like. Moreover, the organ dissecting station is configured and equipped to be selectively height-adjustable and selectively adjustable laterally with respect to its base. The combination of the features and elements provided enables 360 degree access to a corpse residing on the corpse-receiving station, while greatly lessening un-necessary walking and essentially eliminating hazards associated with biological fluids falling onto the floor surface of the work area. Hygiene is increased by provision of a ventilation system integrated into the components of systems provided herein.

A grossing station comprising a table and an overhead hood connected to the table. The grossing station further comprising a plurality of interchangeable plates arranged in a trough of the table and a lift system connected to the table. The grossing station also comprises a touch screen controller arranged on a surface of the station, wherein the touch screen controller is in communication with at least one manual toggle switch for overriding an electronic control and monitoring system if a system failure occurs within the grossing station.

According to the present disclosure, a patient support device includes a patient support top, a support bracket, and a catch assembly that is slidably attached to the support bracket and that is operable to receive a connector of the patient support top.

An underarm pillow for the relief of human shoulder discomfort is formed from a block of compressible visco-elastic foam shaped to fit under the armpit with a concave upward surface which both supports the weight of the arm and also supplies horizontal forces on the ball of the humerus to locate the ball properly in the socket of the shoulder.

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.

A stretching machine includes a table having a surface for supporting a patient and a first leg rest for supporting and moving a first leg of the patient. The first leg rest has a first vertical frame operable to rotate around a first horizontal pivot point at an end of the table and a first horizontal frame operable to rotate around a first vertical pivot point on the first vertical frame. A first vertical actuator is for rotating the first vertical frame around the first horizontal pivot point to move the first leg rest in a vertical direction relative to the surface of the table, and a first horizontal actuator is for rotating the first horizontal frame around the first vertical pivot point to move the first leg rest in a horizontal direction relative to the first vertical frame.
