A device for supporting a patient to allow an exam to be performed on the patient's breast, including a supporting table which has a longitudinal axis of extension and on which the patient can lie in a reclining position; the supporting table is provided, in proximity to one end of it, with a through hole for receiving the breast to be examined; a mounting frame for mounting the supporting table and equipped with at least one actuator for adjusting the supporting table in height; the supporting table is divided into a first portion and second portion along an axis; the first portion is smaller in extension along the longitudinal axis than the second portion and is provided with the through hole; the two portions are movably connected to each other.

The table for performing breast biopsies is characterized by features that enhance patient comfort and facilitate performance of the biopsy. An opening in the table allowing the breast to extend below the table top is formed in a removable insert. An area of the insert includes padding. An alternate insert, having a different diameter opening may be selected based on patient breast size. Another insert having an asymmetrical opening may accommodate the patient's arm when it is desirable to position both the arm and breast of the patient below the table top. The table top is contoured such that symmetrical distal end sections are elevated relative to a central section to support the patient in multiple positions. A removable pad may be placed over the insert. An end portion for padding the hip of the patient is thicker than an end portion for padding the head/neck of the patient.

Methods and devices for holding liquid or solid materials including a cylindrical container, a holder, and a detachable handle, the handle capable of being adjusted to variable angles when coupled to the holder. Method of collecting material including the step of holding a graduated cylindrical container by a detachable variable angle handle. A kit for a female urinary cup for holding liquid or solid materials comprising a cylindrical container including exterior threads on which a cap may be screwed, a holder attached to a sidewall of the container, a detachable handle optionally coupled to the holder, the handle capable of being adjusted to variable angles when coupled to the holder, and instructions for use of the female urinary cup.

A obstetric hemorrhage cart having a chassis riding on wheels, drawers supported by the chassis, a cooling apparatus such as a refrigerator in the chassis, a locking bar pivotally attached to the chassis, a scale drawer, a scale mounted in the scale drawer, and a positionable task light attached to the chassis. Each of the drawers may include a drawer lock shiftable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking bar may be lockable in a blocking orientation and shiftable to a non-blocking orientation when unlocked, thus serving as a secondary safety lock preventing the drawers and a cooling apparatus door from inadvertently opening during travel. The scale may have a weight surface and a scale display, and the scale drawer may have a window for viewing the scale display from a front of the chassis when the scale drawer is open.

A support pillow provides a central section and two adjustable side sections allowing for comfortable use by female users while in the prone position, such as during a massage, acupuncture, or other medical procedure. The central section provides comfortable support for the head and neck, while the side sections are positionable under the user to relieve pressure on the breasts and chest area.

The bedpan is constructed and arranged to allow for urine flow into the bedpan tray and proceed into the collection bottle between the legs of a patient. The bedpan assembly offers greater dignity and comfort to the patient, and greater convenience and time savings for medical personnel.

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 support platform for body treatment that includes a resilient pad, a cushion movable along a guide passageway in the resilient pad, and a control assembly movable with the cushion to control the position of the cushion to accommodate body parts of a person being treated on the support platform.

The present urinal's function is to assist a female relieve her bladder independently while in the supine, sitting or standing position by providing an angled opening for urine to collect in the container. The urinal is entirely made of a flexible nonporous waterproof material; allowing for reuse. Its structure is comprised of an expandable and retractable bellows mechanism to facilitate compact storage within a hospital dispensing cabinet or while in the user's possession. The opening is lined with a beveled outer seal. When the urinal's opening is placed over the female perineal area, it extends extra-labially from the anterior labial commissure to the perineal body. By providing an outer seal that is angled horizontally, toward the user, prevention of leakage results in the maintenance of hygiene. The containers shape is rectangular facilitating proper placement by providing a base when used in a horizontal/supine position. The handle is located on the superior portion of the neck, permitting the manipulation of the urinal by either the user or by assistive personnel.
