A foot holding assembly that includes a boot configured to hold the foot of the patient, a rigid sole coupled to the boot, a pivot arm having a first end rotatably coupled to the sole, a slider block pivotally coupled to a second end of the pivot arm and configured to be slidably mounted to a rail. The slider block includes a segmented body including a pair of longitudinal segments and a lateral segment, and a retainer disposed at an lateral interface of the pair of longitudinal segments and the lateral segment, wherein the retainer is configured to receive a second end of the pivot arm, wherein the pair of longitudinal segments and the lateral segment of the segmented body are each configured to move relative to one another in response to insertion of the second end of the pivot arm into the retainer.

Devices to secure the hand of a patient to a limb positioning device while evenly distributing the applied traction load across the patient's hand and wrist are disclosed. The hand is placed in the open position into a soft mitten, while an anatomically-shaped plate is attached to the mitten for supporting the palm of the hand in the open position. Straps are then secured around the patient's wrist and hand. Finally, the entire device is overwrapped an elastic bandage and secured to the limb positioning device. When traction is applied, the shape of the plate, the construction of the mitten, and the straps combine to allow low-contact pressure across the patient's hand and wrist.

Medical devices and methods are presented for protecting a limb, e.g., an arm, of a patient during a medical procedure. The medical devices and methods utilize a plurality of longitudinal sealed fluid pockets to thermally insulate and cushion an extremity of a limb. The plurality of longitudinal sealed fluid pockets is incorporated in a protective body that is shaped to wrap around the extremity when the medical device is deployed. The protective body has at least one access opening to provide access through the protective body to one or more corresponding portions of the extremity. Access panels may be formed into the protective body to allow portions of the extremity to be covered or uncovered and used with left or right limbs.

Other devices and methods are presented.

A hip spica cast application stand for holding a patient's legs in a desired position while a spica cast is applied. The stand includes an adjustable vertical post extending out of a base. Two extendable arms are pivotally attached to the top of the post. Each arm has a U-shaped leg holder at one end to receive and support a patient's thigh. During a hip spica casting procedure, the post length, arm length, and arm angles can be adjusted and locked in place to support and maintain the patient's legs at a desired position.

A padded hand restraint for securing a hand and wrist to a bed frame. The padded hand restraint includes an annularly shaped padded base with an elongated portion designed to receive a hand and a wrist. A lower strap designed to secure the padded base to an object is attached to a lower surface of the padded base. A wrist strap designed to secure a wrist is disposed on an upper surface. A peripheral padding extends outwardly along a perimeter of the padded base, forming an open section. A secondary strap designed to further secure the wrist is disposed on the elongated portion of the peripheral padding. A mesh netting is additionally located along the annular portion of the padded base, the netting designed to secure over the open section such that the hand is visible while restrained. In this way, a patient can be removably restrained in an efficient manner.

Systems and apparatuses for coupling a leg portion of a user to a crutch are provided. The system includes a crutch and a leg brace coupled to the crutch. The leg brace includes an adjustable height portion, a leg receiving portion and a securing mechanism configured to secure a portion of a leg of a user to the leg receiving portion.

Disclosed are devices for positioning and supporting a leg or other patient extremity within an external support structure or frame.

A stabilization system configured to be arranged on a floor comprising a table having generally flat surface having a longitudinal axis for receiving a human body having a first hole, a second hole, and third hole within the flat surface, each hole having a hole shape with a generally vertical inner surface and configured to receive a bolster connector, a bolster comprising a bolster connector having an outer shape corresponding to the hole shape, the bolster connector configured to be reversibly engaged by one of the holes, a generally flat surface generally perpendicular to the table surface when the bolster connector is engaged by one of the holes.

A method includes positioning a patient on a surgical support structure having a fixture. The method includes attaching, to a portion of a body of the patient, a first adhesive layer on a widened pad end of a surgical restraint device. The method includes extending an elongate strap member of the surgical restraint device in a direction in which the portion of the body of the patient is to be moved relative to a remaining portion of the body using tension in the elongate strap member. The method includes attaching an attachment end of the elongate strap member to the fixture of the surgical patient support structure to maintain the moved portion of the body in tension, exposing a surgical site on the body.
