Various embodiments concern locking release mechanisms that allow an articulated support arm to be moved between various vertical orientations. A locking release mechanism may include a handle release mechanism positioned within the handle of the articulated support arm, and a gas spring release mechanism positioned within the body of the articulated support arm. The articulated support arm can include a gas spring that remains locked until the handle release mechanism is activated, e.g. by applying pressure to a grip actuator. Other embodiments concern cable management techniques for articulated support arms. Oftentimes, an articulated support arm will include cables routed through the arm that are configured to support an attachment. For example, the cable(s) may be adapted for audio signals, video signals, power, etc. The cable(s) can be readily cleaned and/or serviced when routed through an articulated support arm composed of one or more removable pieces.

A mounting system includes a frame that defines a truss structure and a plurality of mounting locations within the truss structure. The plurality of mounting locations are configured to interchangeably couple to one or more members, including one or more of an access panel, a light troffer or a boom mount.

A mattress system is provided that is optimized for the hospital setting and includes a guiderail system that accepts a variety of accessories for attachment thereto. The guiderail system may have integrated data lines, power lines, gas lines, and/or fluid lines. Also provided are radioabsorbant shields, trays and other components designed for optimal use with the mattress system.

Floating electromagnetic field generator systems and methods are provided. The system comprises a surgical bed portion. The system also comprises a brace component disposed within the surgical bed portion. Additionally, the system comprises a first arm that is attached to the brace component. The first arm is positioned adjacent to the surgical bed portion. Additionally, the first arm has at least one field generator coil embedded therein. The system also comprises a second arm that is attached to the brace component. The second arm is positioned adjacent to the surgical bed portion. Additionally, the second arm has at least one field generator coil embedded therein. The second arm is positioned parallel to the first arm.

A supply system (1a) includes a basic body (2) and at least one supply port (3 through 8), which is flush-mounted in the basic body (2) and provides a supply medium. The basic body (2) extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a plurality of outer wall sections (9 through 12) and at least one connection section (13 through 16). The connection section or each connection section (13 through 16) mechanically connects to one another two outer wall sections (9 through 12), which are adjacent to one another. At least one connection section (13 through 16) has at least one undercut (17 through 24). The undercut or each undercut (17 through 24) has the form of a channel or flute or groove or sectional rail and extends along the longitudinal axis of the basic body (2).

An examination table that can be used in other places than a hospital is provided. A portable examination table comprises a seat part for supporting a bottom of a patient, an angle-changeable backrest part for supporting a back of the patient, a pair of angle-changeable arm parts, abutting parts configured to be raised or lowered when the angle of the arm parts relative to the seat part is changed and abut the back of the knees of the patient, and link parts configured to link the arm parts to the backrest part and change the angle of the arm parts, and is configured to convert between an end-sitting positioning state, a lithotomy positioning state, and a folded state.

A patient support apparatus includes a frame having a head section moveably coupled to a seat section. At least one frame actuator is configured to raise and lower the frame relative to a floor. At least one head section actuator is configured to adjust an angle of the head section relative to the seat section. A patient support surface is positioned on the frame. The patient support surface includes a plurality of bladders. An air source is configured to inflate and deflate the plurality of bladders. A sensor is configured to detect the presence of a caregiver at a head end of the frame. A control circuitry adjusts a position of the frame in response to a command from a caregiver.

A mounting system includes a frame that defines a truss structure and a plurality of mounting locations within the truss structure. The plurality of mounting locations are configured to interchangeably couple to one or more members, including one or more of an access panel, a light troffer or a boom mount.

This disclosure provides a patient support for supporting a patient. The patient support comprises a crib assembly comprising a support material with a cover assembly disposed over the crib assembly. The cover assembly defines a recess and comprising a patient support surface having an outer periphery. The patient support further comprises a connector assembly for connecting the patient support to a fluid source with the connector assembly comprising a connector with a plurality of ports. The assembly defines a three dimensional interior corner adjacent the recess in the cover assembly. The connector assembly is disposed in the recess of the cover assembly such that the plurality of ports of the connector are presented for connection to the fluid source at the three dimensional interior corner and inside the outer periphery of the patient support surface.
