A table comprising a table base and a tabletop is disclosed. The table base comprises a top surface comprising one or more removable adhesives. The one or more removable adhesives adhere strongly when a force is applied in a horizontal direction and weakly when a force is supplied in a vertical direction. This prevents horizontal movement but allows vertical movement when a vertical force above an adhesion threshold is applied. The tabletop comprises a usable first side and a usable second side alternately mounted to the table base by means of the removable adhesives.

A portable therapy table configured to have a folded position and a deployed position wherein the portable therapy table is operable to facilitate a downward movement for a user superposed thereon. The portable therapy table includes a frame having a first portion and a second portion hingedly coupled. A user support surface is superposed the frame. The frame includes an extendable engagement member extending outward therefrom wherein the extendable engagement member includes a telescopic lower section and an upper section perpendicular thereto. The frame is support by foldable forward leg members and a rear leg member. The rear leg member is configured similarly to a piston so as to provide the desired movement of the second portion of the frame. Actuators are mounted to the upper section of the extendable engagement member and are operably coupled to a controller wherein the controller facilitates movement of the rear leg member.

An integrated patient platform system and method for performing medical procedures below a patient's body is disclosed. In some embodiments, a superior level surface of an integrated patient platform is configured to support a patient lying in a prone or supine position, and an inferior level surface of the integrated patient platform is configured to support one or more medical procedure components. The superior level surface includes an aperture disposed therethrough. At least a portion of the aperture forms an examination window that is adjustable in size and position and configured to receive a portion of a patient over or in the examination window. A medical procedure component may be positioned on the inferior level surface to contact or otherwise interface with the portion of the patient positioned over or in the examination window.

An apparatus (18) for mounting surgical rails (40, 42) to a litter (10) having a pair of parallel poles (12) includes a pair of longitudinal members (20, 22) fixed to outboard sides of respective ones of the pair of poles (12). A pair of surgical rails (40, 42) is fixed to outboard surfaces of respective ones of the pair of longitudinal members (20, 22). Clamps (24, 26, 28, 30) at each end of each longitudinal member (20, 22) fix the longitudinal members (20, 22) to the pair of poles (12). A pair of cross bars (36, 38) extend between and are fixed to opposing clamps (24, 26, 28, 30) at each end of each longitudinal member (20, 22).

A mobile patient bed may be used for moving a patient between at least two locations during a medical procedure. The mobile patient bed may comprise an interface configured to selectively couple the mobile patient bed to at least one medical system and at least one processor configured to receive a medical system command via the interface and process the medical system command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system, receive and process a user command when the mobile patient bed is not coupled to the at least one medical system, and refrain from processing the user command when the mobile patient bed is coupled to the at least one medical system. The mobile patient bed may also comprise a seat and a plurality of motors configured to independently position the seat along a plurality of axes.

An operating table system is disclosed. The operating table system has a first transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to a transport device, a second transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to an operating table column, and a coupling device that couples a patient support and the operating table column. The first transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a request command and a transfer command to the second transmitting-receiving device. The second transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a device address to the first transmitting-receiving device. The coupling device is actuated based on the second transmitting-receiving device receiving the request command and the transfer command and the first transmitting-receiving device receiving the device address.

A support platform for body treatment is provided and includes a supporting frame, a resilient pad, a guide passageway, a cushion and a control assembly. The resilient pad is secured to the supporting frame and includes an upper surface positioned opposite the supporting frame. The guide passageway extends from the upper surface and through the resilient pad toward the supporting frame. The cushion includes a lower surface side and is connected to control assembly so that it vertically positions the lower surface side along the guide passageway.

A fail-safe release mechanism for use with patient positioning support apparati having a base structure and a patient support structure, to prevent collapse of the patient support during disconnection of the patient support structure from the base structure.
