The invention discloses a radio-oncology patient positioning device (100) comprising a torso support portion (102, 104) adapted to support the torso of a patient, having first positioning members (106) configured to releasably arrange a knee positioning means; and/or a pelvic positioning device; and a shoulder support region (102) comprising second positioning members (110) adapted to releasably arrange a neck positioning means; and/or a shoulder positioning device;
characterized by: a head support portion (116); wherein the head support portion (116) is pivotally mounted, by means of at least one hinge (114) to the torso support portion (102, 104) or a base plate (102) on which the torso support portion (102) is mounted; and wherein the head support portion (116) is adapted such that a radio-oncological head positioning device (200; 200′) is detachably attachable to the head support portion (116), wherein a occipital mask and/or a face mask is arrangeable to the head positioning device (200; 200′).

A head-holder support for attaching a medical head-holder to a patient table is provided that has a rigid base body, an adjustable and lockable head-holder interface at the base body, which is adapted to adjustably couple the head-holder to the base body by providing at least three degrees of freedom for the spatial relative position between the head-holder and the base body, wherein the at least three degrees of freedom are lockable so as to establish a rigid coupling between the head-holder and the base body, and at least one robotic arm interface at the base body, which is adapted to provide a rigid coupling between a robotic arm and the base body.

A surgical restraint is disclosed including a body strap, a sling, and a connecting strap. The body strap is arranged and disposed to wrap over patient's torso and around a support disposed below the patient, restraining the patient against the support. The sling is arranged and disposed to cradle an upper arm, an elbow and a forearm of a patient's arm. The connecting strap includes a first attachment site associated with a brace and a second attachment site associated with the sling. The connecting strap is arranged and disposed to cross over the patient's shoulder between the first attachment site and the second attachment site. The surgical restraint is arranged and disposed to restrain the patient's arm against the patient's torso and removed from a surgical site.

An orthopedic surgical instrument comprising: a customized patient-specific acetabular reaming guide comprising an at least partially circular body, having an inner surface defining a slot sized to receive an acetabular reamer head, and further having a top surface defining a contact element; at least one support element configured for supporting the at least partially circular body on a patient-specific anatomy of a coxal bone; and further comprising at least one acetabular reamer head comprising a bone milling portion configured for insertion in the slot of the acetabular reaming guide; a connecting element configured for removable attachment to a reamer's shank for operation of the at least one acetabular reamer head; wherein the orthopedic surgical instrument further comprises an abutment element attached to a top portion at least one acetabular reamer head and configured to limit a milling depth of the bone milling portion, by resting on the contact element of the acetabular reaming guide.

Preferred embodiments relate to devices for performing a lymphovenous bypass procedure. A first ring is secured to tissue connected to at least one lymphatic channel of a patient and a second ring is attached to a vein of the patient. An end of the lymphatic channel that extends through the first ring is inserted into an open end of the vein and the rings are connected together to establish fluid flow from the lymphatic channel into the vein.

An automated spatial frame is disclosed. The spatial frame may include a master controller unit arranged and configured as a centralized controller for exchanging data with a remote computing system, exchanging data with a plurality of automated struts, and delivering power to the automated struts. Thus arranged, the master-controller unit may be configured as a fully integrated, rechargeable power supply/controller unit for powering and controlling the automated struts. In one embodiment, the master-controller unit is coupled to an external surface of a platform. The platform acting as a conduit for coupling the master-controller unit to the automated struts. As such, at least one of the platforms provides integrated connectivity to the automated struts. In one embodiment, the struts may be wireless automated strut including a motor, a power source, and a wireless communications module for communicating with an external computing system.

Various implementations include ahead frame holding device. The device includes a base, a head rest, and at least one head frame holder. The head rest has a first end coupled to the base and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The at least one head frame holder has a first end coupled to the base and a second end spaced apart from the first end. The second end of the at least one head frame holder includes a head frame coupler for coupling the head frame to the device.

A surgical robot system includes a surgical robot, a robot arm connected to such surgical robot, and an end-effector connected to the robot arm. A registration fixture is used in conjunction with various registration systems in the surgical robot system. Such registration systems likewise include a detachable base in the form of a detachable dynamic reference base, along with an associated mount, the dynamic reference base and mount having certain features which permit the dynamic reference base to be selectively attached, detached, and reattached at different phases of an operation, whether pre-operative or intra-operative, and such successive attachments are done without the dynamic reference base, and tracking markers associated therewith, losing registration. Related methods allow for the more efficient and effective performance of operations by virtue of the dynamic reference base maintaining its registration during attachments and reattachments.
