A disability standing device has a mounting bracket with strap holes, arm rests, an ankle clamp assembly, wheels with locks, a support rod, grip handles, a grip bar and a latch. The mounting bracket has a rear supporting frame, a front supporting frame, arms rests for the user, grip bars for the assistant to push the device for mobility and a latch to latch the backrest onto the support rod. The backrest has bordering holes for stability strap insertion and is connected pivotally to the rear supporting frame. The backrest includes a grip bar placed on the backside close to the top to be grasped by an assistant to pull the user in the downward or upward position they desire. The ankle clamp assembly is securely connected to the backrest to clamp a person’s ankles. The support rod is mounted on the rear supporting frame of the mounting bracket at a position opposite to the ankle clamp assembly and slightly higher.

A knee cushion is disclosed which includes an integral foam member having a first major surface, an oppositely aligned second major surface, at least one side wall joining the first major surface to the second major surface. Leg depressions are formed in both the first and second major surfaces. The leg depressions are arranged in the shape of a modified peace symbol. The leg depressions permit a person to position the knee cushion between their knees while sleeping on their side to assist in aligning their hips and for keeping their spine straight. The integral foam member also includes a circular depression located in a central portion of the modified peace symbol on both the first and second major surfaces. Lastly the integral foam member has an Indentation Force Deflection at 25% of from between about 8 pounds-force to about 18 pounds-force.

An adapter plane for a surgical table comprising a central body having a proximal portion suitable to at least partially accommodate the lumbar region of the body of a patient and a distal portion suitable to at least partially accommodate the sacral region of the body of a patient, wherein the adapter plane can be coupled to a surgical table by placing the central body at least partially on top of the surgical table, and the central body, in the distal portion, is provided with a quick coupling device for coupling the adapter plane to one or more surgical instruments.

A comfort positioning pillow for use with a user's foot is provided. The pillow includes a first side surface; a second side surface; a flat front surface disposed between the first and second side surfaces; a flat back surface disposed between the first and second side surfaces, wherein the flat back surface is positioned at an angle relative to the flat front surface; a top surface disposed between the first and second side surfaces, wherein the top surface is convex-shaped; and a bottom surface disposed between the first and second side surfaces, and disposed between the flat front surface and the flat back surface. One or more methods of using the pillow are also provided.

Apparatus and methods for adjusting a support to a body are described in which a portable support assembly may be worn or used by a bed-stricken or wheel-chair restricted individual around particular regions of the body where pressure ulcers tend to form. The portable support assembly may generally include adjustable supports which conform the assembly to the patient's body and which also help to distribute one or more fluid pad assemblies relative to the body. The support assembly may be incorporated into a design for a wheelchair or a bed.

A face-down lounge chair apparatus for comfortable face-down lounging includes a chair frame and a pair of legs coupled to the chair frame. A covering is coupled to the chair frame and has a face aperture extending from a covering top side through a covering bottom side proximal a head distal portion of the chair frame. A face pad is coupled to the covering top side around a perimeter of the face aperture. A drop-down tray is coupled to the covering. The drop-down tray has a plurality of straps coupled to the covering bottom side proximal the face aperture and a tray body adjustably coupled to the plurality of straps to go from a proximal position adjacent the covering to an extended position in parallel opposition to the covering bottom side.

A surgical robotics system with robotic arms is configurable to perform a variety of surgical procedures. The surgical robotics system can include a table, column, base, and robotic arms that are either column-mounted, rail-mounted, or mounted on a separate unit. In a column-mounted configuration, the column can include column rings that translate vertically and rotate about the column. The robotic arms are attached to the column rings. In a rail-mounted configuration, the base can include base rails that translate along the base. The robotic arms are attached to the base rails. In both configurations, the robotic arms can move independently from each other and include multiple arm segments. Each arm segment can provide an additional degree of freedom to the robotic arm. Thus, the surgical robotics system may position the robotic arms into numerous configurations to access different parts of a patient's body.

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.
