An extremity stabilization apparatus and methods for supporting and immobilizing an extremity during venous access. One example of an apparatus includes a cuff having a top surface structured for receiving a limb of a patient, the cuff having a front end and a back end. The surface of the cuff may be c-shaped such that the cuff partially surrounds the extremity received in the cuff. The apparatus further includes a handle having a grip for receiving the hand of a patient, the grip arranged offset from the front end of the cuff, and an assembly coupled to the cuff, the assembly movable between at least a first position and a second position to change the position of the top surface of the cuff, each of the first position and second positions corresponding to a different angle of the top surface of the cuff.

According to the present disclosure, a patient support system includes patient support tops for accommodating various body positions of a patient occupying the patient support tops. The patient support system may include various features to accommodate patient body positioning to facilitate surgical access.

A novel foot support device includes a first sidewall adapted to engage the lateral side of a first foot, a second sidewall adapted to engage the lateral side of a second foot, and a backwall adapted to engage both the plantar region of the first foot and the plantar region of the second foot. In a particular embodiment, the first sidewall includes an inclined interior surface, the second sidewall includes an inclined interior surface, and the backwall includes an inclined interior surface. In another particular embodiment, the foot support device includes sidewalls and a backwall that can flatten and pivot relative to one another, facilitating a collapsible foot support device.

A support apparatus for positioning an individual's arm while the individual is in a supine position comprising a first portion configured to rest across the midsection of an individual's body and a second portion configured to rest alongside the individual's upper body. The first portion and the second portion both comprise a top surface and a bottom surface and at least one of the top surface of the first portion and the top surface of the second portion are further indented to receive one or more parts of the individual's arm. The bottom surface of the first portion is further indented to receive the individual's midsection. The configuration of the first portion and the section portion of the support apparatus further enables the individual's shoulder to be positioned in a neutral position.

A device is for positioning a bedridden patient, in particular for keeping the lateral Trendelenburg position or another safety position. In particular, a medical device includes at least a first shaped pillow (1) adapted to support a patient's back and to keep the patient in a lateral position with a predetermined inclination angle. The pillow (1) can be extended in width along a lateral direction (L2) so as to tailor the pillow to the patient's body size.

A leg support system includes an ankle cradle for preventing or mitigating pressure ulcers on heels of a patient supported on a top surface of a medical support platform. The ankle cradle includes a cradle base, a first ankle support, and a second ankle support. The cradle base has a bottom surface and is sized and dimensioned to be supported on the top surface of the medical support platform, with the bottom surface of the cradle base contacting the top surface of the medical support platform. The first ankle support is coupled to the cradle base. The second ankle support is spaced apart from the first ankle support and couples to the first ankle support or the cradle base.

A patient support apparatus having a support structure with a primary support surface for a patient, and an extension manually movable by a user relative to the support structure from a stowed position to an extended position so that the extension provides auxiliary support for the patient in the extended position. A locking device is operable to releasably hold the extension relative to the support structure in the stowed position and the extended position. A release mechanism is operable to manipulate the locking device to release the extension for movement relative to the support structure, and is movable with the extension from the stowed position to the extended position.
