The present inventive subject matter is a device or fixture for positioning, adjusting, and stretching a patient's extremity for surgical procedures where alignment is critical and minute adjustments may be required. The device prevents the patient's extremity to move once the physician has selected the precise position for the elected procedure, using a combination of an articulating and rotating frame or support plates and support rings attached to the extremity surgical positioning system which acts as a limb splint that firmly attached to the surgical table. The support plates are attached to the patient via a series of adjustable straps preventing the extremity from moving independently of the support plate. A locking rack and gear configuration and a myriad of adjustable locking pivot points positioned along and within the outer/inner proximal tube and outer/inner distal tube to either lengthen or rotate various portions of the extremity.

Adapter plane (1) for surgical table, comprising a main portion (2) and a secondary portion (3) which defineat the top parta surface (4) for supporting the patient, said secondary portion (3) being arranged for supporting at least one pelvis portion of the patient, said adapter plane (1) being rigidly couplable above said surgical table with the main portion (2) overlapping the surgical table and the secondary portion (3) projecting with respect to the surgical table, at least the secondary portion (3) of said adapter plane (1) being made of radiotransparent material.

The present inventive subject matter describes a device and system for positioning, adjusting, and stretching a patient's extremity for surgical procedures where alignment is critical and minute adjustments may be required repeatedly. The device helps in maintaining the patient's extremity stationary, once the physician has selected the precise position for the elected procedure. The device uses using a combination of an articulating and a rotating frame, support plates and support rings that are attached to the extremity surgical positioning system. The system acts as a limb splint that is firmly attached to the surgical table. The support plates are attached to the patient via a series of adjustable straps preventing the extremity from moving independently of the support plate. A locking rack and gear configuration has adjustable locking pivot points that are positioned along and within the outer/inner proximal tube and outer/inner distal tube that lengthens or rotates various portions of the extremity.

This device serves as an inflatable deployment technology and assists practitioners and rapid response personnel during code blue events in the hospital setting. A true code blue refers to a cardiac arrest entails in acting advanced care life support (ACLS) and a crash cart is brought to the scene for rapid access to needed medicines and devices. Blue will serve as a deployable leg raise to assist in volume resuscitation, applicable in distributive and hypovolemic shock states, as well as provide a workspace platform for procedures and necessary preparation, increasing care efficacy and timely intervention. Finally, quick reference guides will be displayed to promote team cohesion and fluid delivery of care.

An apparatus for positioning a lower limb of a patient during surgery comprises at least one support structure connectable, through a proximal end, to a support device for a patient and defining a traction axis of the patient's lower limb, a traction slide slidingly movable on the support structure, a gripping body for a distal end of the patient's lower limb connectable to the traction slide. The support structure, when connected to the support device for a patient, is suspended and comprises at least one actuator, hydraulically connected with the traction slide, for moving the support structure in space.
