Devices and Methods for Supporting a Patient's Legs

A foot holding assembly for securing a foot of a patient during a surgical or diagnostic procedure includes a boot configured to hold the foot of the patient. In addition the assembly includes a rigid sole coupled to the boot. Further, the assembly includes a pivot arm having a first end rotatably coupled to the sole with a rotatable coupling configured to allow the sole to rotate relative to the first end of the pivot arm about an axis oriented perpendicular to the sole. The rotatable coupling includes an incremental locking mechanism including a locked position and an unlocked position. When the incremental locking mechanism is in the locked position, the rotational position of the sole about the axis is releasably locked. When the incremental locking mechanism is in the unlocked position, the sole is free to rotate relative the first end of the pivot arm only about the axis.

20170196724 · 2017-07-13 ·

An arm positioning device for supporting the arms of a patient in an arms-up position for some therapeutic or diagnostic procedure on the patient is disclosed. The device includes a base, a pair of wings or panels, and a pair of arm supports. The wings or panels extend upwardly and outwardly from the base and each mounts a respective one of the pair of arm supports thereon. The arm supports are configured to be slid along the wing or panel on which they are mounted to any one of plural working positions wherein they are located above the wing to hold the upper arm of a patient thereon. Each of the arm supports includes a cuff, which is pivotable to a retracted position located below the wing on which the arm support is mounted so as not to interfere with the placement of the patient on the arm positioning device.

POSITIONING ATTACHMENT FOR A PATIENT

A surgical restraint device includes an elongate strap member having a widened pad end and an attachment end. An adhesive layer is affixed to one side of the widened pad end that is formed of a hypoallergenic material for selective engagement to skin of a patient. A peel-off layer releasably covering the adhesive layer to selectively expose the adhesive layer before use. At least one aperture formed in the attachment end accepts engagement to a hooking member presented on a surgical patient support structure.

Surgical foot support with handles

A surgical boot includes a shell shaped to receive a patient's foot. The shell has a plurality of handles molded integrally with a main body. The handles are sized and arranged for gripping by a surgeon during surgery to reposition the foot.

Devices and methods for supporting a patient's legs

A system and method for securing a patient's leg during a medical or diagnostic procedure having a rail assembly including a first rail pivotally coupled to a second rail, a slider block, a pivot arm, and a sole assembly with a boot to restrain and support the patient's foot.

Described is a hand suspension fixture for recovering from skin grafts on human hands. The hand suspension fixture generally comprises five retention fixtures each adapted to connect to one of five flexible members at a first end. At a second end, each of the five flexible members can be attached to a distal end of five respective human finger tips, such as the finger's distal digits. The human hand is adapted to hang from the five flexible members whereby the five retention fixtures are spaced apart to splay the five fingers (thumb included) when the human hand is hanging from the suspension fixture.

PATIENT POSITIONING DEVICE

A patient positioning device includes a planar sheet having removably connected padded substrates attached proximal to the patient's arms. The padded substrates are wrapped around the patient's respective arms to protect and elevate the arms from the underlying table or gurney. Leggings are also provided to protect the patient's legs. The padded substrates include splits to allow wires and cables to pass through without getting tangled. A secondary sheet is attachable to the device to cocoon the patient when the patient is rolled over. A shoulder strap is provided under the patients shoulders, wrapping around and over the shoulders at the trapezius and at the shoulder cuff and is secured to the padded substrates for additional protection and security. The device has a low friction bottom surface to ease transfer and positioning.

Infant patient transfer device with vapor barrier

A patient transfer device is utilized to transport infant patients between locations within a hospital environment. The patient transfer device includes a center support section and a pair of side sections that can be moved into contact with each other to surround the infant patient. The first and second side sections each include a handle that can be brought into close proximity to each other and can be grasped by a single hand of a clinician. The patient transfer device includes an integrated vapor barrier that can be positioned to at least partially surround the infant when the infant is received on the patient transfer device to reduce evaporative cooling of the infant. The vapor barrier includes a support structure to create a canopy that holds the vapor barrier out of contact with the infant.

Collapsible bondage rack

A collapsible bondage rack with use and collapsed configurations. An upper retaining structure, potentially formed by upper legs disposed in a V-configuration, and a lower support structure, potentially formed by anterior and posterior lower legs, each disposed in a V-configuration, are retained relative to a main hinge assembly. The upper retaining structure and the lower support structure are relatively pivotable between use and collapsed configurations. The anterior and posterior lower legs are pivotable about a lateral pivot axis between use and storage configurations, and the anterior lower legs are pivotable about a longitudinal pivot axis. The legs are disposed in a stack when the bondage rack is collapsed. Foot mount assemblies are retained by the anterior lower legs, and attachment assemblies are retained by the upper legs and the anterior lower legs. Leveling mechanisms can stabilize the bondage rack.

POSITIONING APPARATUS FOR BIOMEDICAL USE
