A surgical table includes a pair of lift columns. A table top extends between each of the pair of lift columns. The table top forms a patient support surface configured to receive a patient. The table top includes a head section, a leg section, and a torso section extending between the head section and the leg section. At least one retention pad extends from the table top and is configured to position against the patient. An arm rest extends from the head section and is configured to receive an arm of the patient.

An advance system for treatment of scoliosis using a lateral manual or linear actuator compression force in conjunction with axial rotation. The assembly is table that has comprises of axial rotation and lateral compression allowing axial movement, to assist the physician or therapist in the treatment and correction of scoliosis through specific manual or linear actuator lateral compression. The style and design of this therapy unit is convenient, giving physicians and therapists the unique ability to use this device in a successful way.

A medical examination table includes a base assembly, a table assembly, a table actuation assembly, a wheel assembly, and an actuating mobility assembly. The base assembly configured to support the medical examination table in a first mobility configuration. The table actuation assembly is configured to raise and lower the table assembly relative to the base member to thereby transition the table assembly between a lowered position and a raised position. The wheel assembly is configured to support the medical examination table in a second mobility configuration. The actuating mobility assembly is configured to cooperate with the table actuation assembly to thereby actuate the wheel assembly relative to the base assembly to thereby transition the medical examination table between the first mobility configuration to the second mobility configuration.

A lift, a head support, and methods for use thereof for use with a surgical frame are provided. The lift and the head support can be used with the surgical frame that is capable of reconfiguration before, during, or after surgery. The surgical frame can include a main beam that can be rotated, raised/lowered, and tilted upwardly/downwardly to afford positioning and repositioning of a patient supported thereon, and the lift and the head support can be used in lifting the patient from a table/gurney and positioning the patient with respect to the main beam.

The present invention provides a spine leveling apparatus comprising a rigid board which may be removably placed on a bed, surgical table or patient chair. The apparatus may further comprise two identical trays with articulating arms constructed and arranged for secure and removable securement on the rigid board. In use, the trays provide left and right working areas for the medical professional or caregiver. The apparatus further comprises a sheath which may be removably placed over the rigid board. The spine leveling apparatus may be beneficially used to position the patient in an optimal position for epidural or spinal placement. The trays further provide two clean and easily accessible working areas.

A patient support structure includes a pair of independently height-adjustable supports, each connected to a patient support. The supports may be independently raised, lowered, rolled or tilted about a longitudinal axis, laterally shifted and angled upwardly or downwardly. Position sensors are provided to sense all of the foregoing movements. The sensors communicate data to a computer for coordinated adjustment and maintenance of the inboard ends of the patient supports in an approximated position during such movements. A longitudinal translator provides for compensation in the length of the structure when the supports are angled upwardly or downwardly. A patient trunk translator provides coordinated translational movement of the patient's upper body along the respective patient support in a caudad or cephalad direction as the patient supports are angled upwardly or downwardly for maintaining proper spinal biomechanics and avoiding undue spinal traction or compression.

A method for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes elevating the heart of an individual to a first height relative to a lower body of the individual. The lower body may be in a substantially horizontal plane. The method may also include elevating the head of the individual to a second height relative to the lower body of the individual. The second height may be greater than the first height. The method may further include performing one or more of a type of CPR or a type of intrathoracic pressure regulation while elevating the heart and the head. The first height and the second height may be determined based on one or both of the type of CPR or the type of intrathoracic pressure regulation.

The present invention discloses an enhanced design of orthotic device with symmetrical estimations in stature and side width to provide enhanced stability. The assembly has three totally separate connectable levels which fit as blocks and enable the user to adjust each level as per individual requirements.

A patient support 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.
