A surgical table includes a sagittal adjustment device for manipulating the position of a patient. The surgical table includes a base portion including an upper surface for spacing the sagittal adjustment device from the ground. The sagittal adjustment device includes a first support portion and a second support portion. The first and second support portions are supported by and moveable over the upper surface of the base portion. The first and second support portions each include an upper surface configured to support portions of the body of the patient thereon. One of the first and second support portions is pivotally attached to the base portion, and moveable between a first position and a second position. The pivotal movement between the first and second positions of the one of the first and second portions serves in repositioning the body of patient to manipulate the spine of the patient.

The present disclosure provides a patient positioning device and methods of using such a device that allows for the easy securing of the device to the operating room table or hospital bed, a comfortable surface for patients to rest on during their diagnostic, therapeutic or surgical procedure, that helps reduce the likelihood of developing pressure ulcers, protects the patient by providing an infectious barrier, helps protects the patient from electrical injury by creating a non-conductive barrier between the patient the metal operating table, and protects the operating room table and equipment with an integrated, impermeable barrier to prevent blood, other bodily fluids and other fluids such as intravenous fluids, blood products and irrigation from soiling the operating or procedure table and nearby equipment. The device overcomes several challenges that exist with current devices and methods and is simple, disposable, and cost-effective. It allows for easier, faster and safer patient positioning, improved infection control, lower risk of electrical injury, improved protection from pressure ulcer formation, less waste compared to current options in a single, one-package solution. Additionally, a leg portion of the device can include an inflatable member which serves as a Sequential Compression Device which can be repeatedly inflated/deflated to facilitate circulation and prevent formation of blood clots.

A surgical positioning frame for supporting a patient includes a main beam having an axis of rotation relative to support structures. The main beam rotates the patient between a prone position and a lateral position. The main beam including a conforming main beam portion extending between the first and second support arms. The conforming main beam is preferably configured to allow a surgeon access to one lateral side of the patient and a surgical assistant access to the other lateral side of the patient with limited interference thereby.

A positioning frame for supporting a patient to facilitate different surgical approaches to the spine includes a main support beam, first and second support structures, a torso-lift support, and a pelvic-tilt support. The main support beam has a first end, a second end, and a length extending between the first and second ends. The main support beam defines an axis of rotation relative to at least a first support structure and a second support structure, and the axis of rotation substantially corresponds to a cranial-caudal axis of the patient when the patient is supported on the positioning frame. The first and second support structures support the main support beam, and space the main support beam from the ground. The torso-lift support is attached to the main support beam, and is configured to pivot a chest support plate between at least a first position and a second position to move the torso of the patient between an unlifted position and a lifted position. The pelvic-tilt support is attached to the main support beam, and is configured to support the thighs and the lower legs of the patient. Portions of the pelvic-tilt support are pivotal with respect to one another to facilitate adjustment of the hips of the patient.

The patient positioning frame includes a posterior support, a lateral support, and an anterior restraint. The patient positioning frame can be placed on an upper surface of a conventional surgical table with the posterior support lying horizontally and the lateral support position vertically. A patient lies supine on the lateral support and is restrained using the anterior restraint assembly. The patient and the patient support are then simultaneously turned on the table to expose the patient's hip region for subsequent hip replacement or other surgery.

An examination table that can be used in other places than a hospital is provided. A portable examination table comprises a seat part for supporting a bottom of a patient, an angle-changeable backrest part for supporting a back of the patient, a pair of angle-changeable arm parts, abutting parts configured to be raised or lowered when the angle of the arm parts relative to the seat part is changed and abut the back of the knees of the patient, and link parts configured to link the arm parts to the backrest part and change the angle of the arm parts, and is configured to convert between an end-sitting positioning state, a lithotomy positioning state, and a folded state.

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 main beam that can be rotated, raised/lowered, and tilted upwardly/downwardly to afford positioning and repositioning of a patient supported thereon. The main beam is capable of be reconfigured between a left configuration and a right configuration to support the patient in different positions thereon.

A positioning frame for supporting a patient to facilitate different surgical approaches to the spine includes a main support beam, first and second support structures, a torso-lift support, and a pelvic-tilt support. The main support beam has a first end, a second end, and a length extending between the first and second ends. The main support beam defines an axis of rotation relative to at least a first support structure and a second support structure, and the axis of rotation substantially corresponds to a cranial-caudal axis of the patient when the patient is supported on the positioning frame. The first and second support structures support the main support beam, and space the main support beam from the ground. The torso-lift support is attached to the main support beam, and is configured to pivot a chest support plate between at least a first position and a second position to move the torso of the patient between an unlifted position and a lifted position. The pelvic-tilt support is attached to the main support beam, and is configured to support the thighs and the lower legs of the patient. Portions of the pelvic-tilt support are pivotal with respect to one another to facilitate adjustment of the hips of the patient.

The present invention relates to a portable body support and, more particularly, a body support providing functions of preventing the body from sliding down from an inclined support and also completely relieving load on the neck supporting the head at a face support part of the body support when the body support, such as a folding table or a portable temporary bed, is obliquely set up on the floor and used in a prone position so as to be useable for activities such as reading, thereby ensuring an effect of providing a technical configuration for not generating neck pain at all. As to the technical configuration, provided is the portable body support for coupling a face support mask and a pelvis support saddle to each other by using hinges, bolts and the like and constructing the coupled mask and saddle. When reading for a long time in a prone state by using the portable body support, comprising the mask and the saddle, of the present invention, neck pain, whole body fatigue, and the like are not generated at all, and an advantage of maintaining, for a long time, mental strength and posture to concentrate conveniently on reading in a prone state is guaranteed.
