Surgical draping system and method for using same

A surgical draping system includes an under-draping, an over-draping, and a connecting draping connected between the under-draping and the over-draping. The surgical draping system is used to establish and maintain a surgical corridor to a surgical site or sites on a patient supported by a surgical table. The surgical draping system can accommodate rotation of the patient on the surgical table, such that the sterile surgical corridor is maintained even during such rotation. The sterile surgical corridor extends through an aperture formed in the over-draping, through an enclosed passageway formed through the connecting draping, and through an aperture formed in the under-draping.

A femoral lift apparatus for an operating table having a side rail, the apparatus engageable with the femur of a patient. The apparatus includes a lift mountable to the side rail. An extension arm is receivable on the lift, the extension arm extending transversely from the lift when the extension arm is received on the lift. A plurality of apertures can be defined along the extension arm, and a femoral hook can be receivable in one of the apertures in the extension arm, the femoral hook having a hook end shaped to be received under and contour the femur of the patient positioned on the operating table when the lift is mounted to the side rail of the table, the extension arm is received on the lift, and the femoral hook is received in one of the apertures of the extension arm.

Systems, devices, and methods for testing suture performance under static and dynamic conditions
11497669 · 2022-11-15 · ·

A system for testing sutures includes a test bench having a rotatable table, a framework supporting the test bench and the rotatable table above a surface, and a continuous passive motion (CPM) machine mounted on the rotatable table. The CPM machine is configured to rotate between a first position in which the CPM machine is upright and located above the rotatable table and a second position in which the CPM machine is inverted and located below the rotatable table. The system includes a fluid supply subsystem for directing an infusion fluid toward the CPM machine, a pump for circulating the infusion fluid in the fluid supply subsystem, a heat exchanger for heating the infusion fluid, a fluid collection tray located below the CPM machine and the rotatable table, and a pressure monitoring subsystem for monitoring a pressure level of the infusion fluid.

TRACTION TOWER TRAP AND FINGER TRAP SYSTEM

A traction tower trap assembly with straps and finger traps that are easily adjustable and releasable. The traction tower assembly includes straps for parts of the arm, such as the patient's bicep or forearm, and finger traps to traction parts of the arm and fingers for surgical procedures. The forearm traction tower assembly includes a tower having first and second sides. The tower is connected to a base plate with a first and second slots extending partially therethrough. The assembly includes a strap made of a length of material attached to first and second adjustment mechanisms. The first adjustment mechanism is slidable within the first slot of the base plate and the second adjustment mechanism is slidable within the second slot of the base plate.

Adaptive ergonomic positioning device

The herein described Adaptive Ergonomic Positioning device (“AEPD”) relates generally to the field of surgery and other medical or healthcare procedures. The AEPD can be adapted for use with most standard surgical tables and surgical chairs where the patient must be positioned prone during a particular procedure. The AEPD may also be used for certain procedures where the patient may be positioned supine. The AEPD support assemblies are highly adjustable and deliver improved ergonomics for both patients and providers. Patients of different morphology can be comfortably positioned in prone with their head and neck in a neutral position, and shoulders in a forward flexed, slightly internally rotated position. The AEPD can be adjusted to accommodate patients with neck and shoulder mobility restrictions, without any effect on provider accessibility to the surgical or treatment site.

SINGLE AND DUAL COLUMN PATIENT POSITIONING SUPPORT STRUCTURE

A surgical table for supporting a patient over a floor and including a base assembly, a support column assembly and a patient support structure. The base assembly supported on the floor and including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a member extending along a base longitudinal axis between the first and second ends. The support column assembly moveably coupled with the base assembly and configured to translate between the first and second ends of the base assembly along the member extending therebetween, the support column assembly being the only support column assembly coupled with the base assembly. The patient support structure including a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the first and second ends, the second end of the patient support structure supported off of the support column assembly in a cantilevered fashion.

WEARABLE SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR MEDICAL DEVICES
20230095909 · 2023-03-30 ·

A system for supporting a surgical instrument relative to a body of a user can comprise a body-mountable portion for supporting an arm of the user, the body-mountable portion comprising a forearm support, an instrument support connected to the body-mountable portion to hold a handle of the surgical instrument proximate the forearm support, and a positioning device configured to hold a position of the instrument support relative to the body-mountable portion. A method for supporting a medical instrument against the body of a user can comprise placing an arm of the user in a support structure, attaching the support structure to the body, positioning the medical instrument in an instrument support connected to the support structure, and adjusting a positioning device to fix a position of the medical instrument relative to the body. In examples, the support structure can comprise an exoskeleton sleeve.

Surgical frame facilitating articulatable support for a patient during surgery

A positioning frame for supporting a patient to facilitate different surgical approaches to the spine includes a main support beam, first and second support structures, a torso-lift support, and a pelvic-tilt support. The main support beam has a first end, a second end, and a length extending between the first and second ends. The main support beam defines an axis of rotation relative to at least a first support structure and a second support structure, and the axis of rotation substantially corresponds to a cranial-caudal axis of the patient when the patient is supported on the positioning frame. The first and second support structures support the main support beam, and space the main support beam from the ground. The torso-lift support is attached to the main support beam, and is configured to pivot a chest support plate between at least a first position and a second position to move the torso of the patient between an unlifted position and a lifted position. The pelvic-tilt support is attached to the main support beam, and is configured to support the thighs and the lower legs of the patient. Portions of the pelvic-tilt support are pivotal with respect to one another to facilitate adjustment of the hips of the patient.
