A lateral patient positioning system may include a pelvic bolster assembly and a thoracic bolster assembly. Each of the assemblies may be attached to a conventional surgical table frame by the surgical table frame's longitudinal rails. A plurality of adjustment mechanisms and components are provided to allow for easy and safe manipulation of a patient before and during surgery, including sagittal and/or coronal adjustment of a patient in a lateral position.

A surgical table for prone and lateral positioning of a patient, where the table includes a base and a patient support structure. The base may include a head and a foot end support structure. The patient support structure may include an upper body support structure cantilevered off of the head end support structure at a first end and a lower body support structure cantilevered off of the foot end support structure at a second end. The upper body support structure may include a chest pad. The lower body support structure may include a lower body translation and rotation structure and at least one pelvic pad supported thereon.

A care unit can include a base member and a plurality of petal members. Each petal member can extend from a first end, engaged with the base member, to a second end, spaced from the base member. Inward-facing surfaces of at least two petal members and the base member can collectively define a cavity for receiving at least a portion of the patient. The care unit can further include one or both of a therapy component, configured to provide a treatment to the patient, or a sensor component, configured to monitor a condition of the patient. The therapy component can be coupled to, or integrated with, one or both of the base member or a petal member and can include an optical light source, a thermal energy source, an oxygen or air source, a sound wave source, a sound wave-cancelling source, or a pulsating source, for example.

An apparatus and technique for supporting and securing a human upper extremity suitable for diagnostic and surgical procedures with the apparatus comprising a base plate coupled to moveable proximal and distal platforms. The distal platform supports the hand and wrist while pivoting about a ball and socket (universal) joint. The proximal platform is attached to a moveable support that variably elevates the upper extremity between the shoulder and the wrist (ie the distal platform) whilst travelling longitudinally along the base plate. These upper platforms attach to a common lower platform (ie the base plate) and function independently yet complimentarily to variably elevate and position the entire upper extremity above the base plate thereby achieving reproducible medical (or user) access to any discrete site from the shoulder to the digits. The proximal and distal platforms may also function as a bridge for a third upper platform converting an apparatus with two relatively short supportive surfaces to an apparatus having one relatively long supportive surface.

An absorbent repositioning pad includes an upper layer including a liquid permeable material, and a lower layer having relatively lower friction surface than the upper layer. The absorbent repositioning pad further includes a first intermediate layer between the upper and lower layers and including an absorbent material, and a second intermediate layer between the first intermediate layer and the lower layer and including a liquid impermeable material.

A surgical frame and method for use thereof is provided. The surgical frame is capable of reconfiguration before, during, or after surgery. The surgical frame includes a translating beam that is moveable between at least a first lateral position and a second lateral position. The translating beam is used to join a first support portion and a second support portion of the surgical frame to one another, and movement of the translating beam affords access to a patient receiving area.

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.

An accessory flat-top panel for use with a surgical table includes a board adapted to support a patient, a left attachment pylon coupled to the board, and a right attachment pylon coupled to the board. The left and right attachment pylons are each formed to include channels sized to receive a rail included in a surgical table. The width of the board between a left side and a right side of the board is greater than the width of a pair of rails included in a surgical table to support portions of a patient wider than pair of rails included in the support top.

A surgical table for prone and lateral positioning of a patient, where the table includes a base and a patient support structure. The base may include a head and a foot end support structure. The patient support structure may include an upper body support structure cantilevered off of the head end support structure at a first end and a lower body support structure cantilevered off of the foot end support structure at a second end. The upper body support structure may include a chest pad. The lower body support structure may include a lower body translation and rotation structure and at least one pelvic pad supported thereon.

According to the present disclosure, a surgical patient support provides support to a patient. The surgical patient support may include configuration to accommodate various patient body positions to provide a variety of access to the patient's body.
