Comfort therapy
The present invention is a therapeutic pad with breast receiving cavities. The therapeutic pad with breast receiving cavities contains a platform, a cavity, and an adjustment element. The cavity traverses into the platform. The adjustment element is positioned within the cavity. The therapeutic pad with breast receiving cavities may take the form of a therapy device to replace surgical table padding, chiropractic dorsal pads, or other various therapeutic treatment table paddings to accommodate humans with breasts or additional curvature in the breast area. The therapeutic pad with breast receiving cavities constitutes specialized padding with breast recess areas to provide maximum comfort by allowing patients to control the pressure in the breast area when receiving therapeutic care or medical procedures.
ROTATION LOCKOUT FOR SURGICAL SUPPORT
Devices, systems, and methods for patient support include arrangement of a patient support top for rotation and a rotation lockout assembly for selectively blocking against rotation of the patient support top.
SUPPORTING ARRANGEMENT FOR A PATIENT IN A PRONE POSITION
A supporting system is provided for a patient in a prone position, especially for patients that are intubated and/or mechanically ventilated. The supporting arrangement ensures proper posture of the patient so as to prevent damages caused by prolonged lying in the prone position. The arrangement includes a kit of separate modules (10 - 40, 50sx, 50dx - 90sx, 90dx) for containing, pushing, supporting, and unloading distinct body segments of the patient’s body. The modules are freely positionable and orientable with respect to one another on an external supporting surface, such as a mattress. The supporting arrangement provides for a sub-arrangement intended for supporting the patient’s head and comprises modules for the head (10 -40) which make it possible to effectively support the user’s head in a neutral position as well as in a position turned to the side.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A SURGICAL POSITIONING EXOSKELETON SYSTEM
Various embodiments of a system and associated method for a surgical positioning apparatus for supporting a patient in supine, lateral, kidney and prone position are disclosed herein.
Infant stabilizer
The invention relates to an infant positioning device for stabilizing and maintaining an infant in a fixed position for a lumbar puncture procedure. The device consists of a frame with openings for the infant's face and abdomen to support the infant in the proper position for the procedure and allow for unimpeded ventilation, a component of the frame to secure and stabilize the infant within the frame to prevent movement during the procedure, and an attachment stand to the frame that allows the frame to be free-standing.
Apparatus and method for an effortless transition to a prone position for patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2
The invention relates to a prone position device that is modular and has universal integration capability, for an effortless transition to a prone position in patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 or any acute respiratory distress syndrome through the use of a mechanical means that may be fitted into a full spectrum of beds to support a multitude of resting positions for the patient.
Patient positioning support apparatus with virtual pivot-shift pelvic pads, upper body stabilization and fail-safe table attachment mechanism
A patient support apparatus for supporting a patient in a prone position during a surgical procedure is provided, including an open fixed frame suspended above a floor and a pair of spaced opposed radially sliding joints cooperating with the frame, each joint including a virtual pivot point and an arc of motion spaced from the virtual pivot point, the joints being movable along the arc providing a pivot ship mechanism for a pair of pelvic pads attached to the joints. A base for supporting and suspending a patient support structure above the floor, for supporting a patient during a surgical procedure, the base including a pair of spaced opposed vertical translation subassemblies reversibly attachable to a patient support structure, a cross-bar, and a rotation subassembly having two degrees of rotational freedom; wherein a location of each vertical translation subassembly is substantially constant during operation of the patient support structure.
Prone patient positioning system
Disclosed are patient positioning systems that support a patient in the prone position. A patient positioning system includes a chest bolster and one or more head supports selectively attachable to the chest bolster. The chest bolster elevates the patient's thorax and provides for gentle cervical flexion, while the one or more head supports can be attached to the chest bolster in different configurations to support the patient in a face down position or with the head turned laterally.
PATIENT POSITIONING DEVICE
A patient positioning device facilitates the placement of a patient in the prone position on the bolsters of a medical table or bed more quickly. The patient positioning device facilitates the surgeon's removal of their arms from underneath the patient once the patient has been properly positioned in the prone position on the medical table or bed (e.g., without shifting the patient out of place). Additionally, the patient positioning device inhibits (e.g., prevents) the surgeon's arms from coming into contact with the patient's skin.
Systems and methods for maintaining patient position
Some systems, devices and methods detailed herein provide adjustable restraint device maintaining a selected position of a person relative to a support structure, for example, to maintain a safe and customizable patient position during a surgical procedure or during medical transport. For example, in particular embodiments, the adjustable restraint devices can be releasably lockable at a customized position along the surgical table and can be conveniently manipulated to a curved or other customized configuration (e.g., to engage with a patient's limb) before being releasably locked into that particular customized configuration.
