The present disclosure provides a subassembly of a limb positioning system, the subassembly comprising a first clamp comprising an aperture and a first socket, a crossbar extending through the aperture of the first clamp, and a first ball coupled to a first cuff, wherein the first ball is configured to be inserted into the first socket of the first clamp and allow rotation of the first cuff relative to the first clamp.

A limb support comprises a spar, a limb rest, and a coupler. The spar is configured to be supported from a patient support apparatus and adjustable relative to the patient support and has a longitudinal axis. The coupler includes a release that is selectively actuable to release locking mechanisms to permit adjustment of the limb rest relative to the spar.

A robotic massage machine that includes at least one movable robotic arm having a first end effector, a processor that controls the movable robotic arm, a memory, a first body form having at least a first anatomical calibration point, a preprogrammed initial massage path based on the first body form, and a second body form having at least a first anatomical calibration point located in an analogous anatomical location as the first anatomical calibration point of the first body form. The processor is programmed to morph the initial massage path to calculate a calibrated massage path based on the second body form.

Embodiments of the present description provide a medical apparatus for use in supporting a patient lying in a supine position during a radial cardiac catheterization procedure. More particularly, embodiments of the present description provide an arm board a patient's arm during a radial cardiac catheterization procedure. The arm board has a base member having a substantially planar support surface on which the patient's arm can be stabilized during a catheterization procedure and at least one shield member affixed to the base member and extending away from the support surface. Desirably, the base member has both a radiolucent portion and a radiopaque portion and the shield member is a radiopaque material, thereby reducing and/or eliminating a doctor's exposure to radiation during radial cardiac catheterization procedures without impairing the ability to obtain the necessary medical images. Also provided is a medical apparatus and a method for its use.

A forearm and wrist fracture table includes base members, vertical bars, horizontal bars, an elbow support member and a hand support member. The vertical bars includes a first vertical bar and a second vertical bar attached to the support base members. The horizontal bars are attached between the support base members and vertical bars to provide horizontal stability and length adjustment between the support base members and the vertical bars. The elbow support member is attached to the first vertical bar to provide support for the elbow. The hand support member is attached to the second vertical bar to receive and support a hand extending from the elbow, wherein the fractured arm is supported between the elbow support member and the hand support member, wherein a surgeon is allowed to modulate an amount of needing pressure required to distract fracture fragments, and thereby reducing fracture and healing the fracture site.

A spinal deformity correction and fusion surgery supporting device is capable of simplifying the operative procedures of a spinal deformity correction and fusion surgery by an operator to reduce the operative time and lessen the burden on the patient and achieving a more effective correction rate by the spinal deformity correction and fusion surgery. In this supporting device, the waist and the vicinity thereof are pressed from both sides in the left-right direction by a pair of waist pressing bodies, and the chest and the vicinity thereof are pressed from both sides in the left-right direction by a pair of chest pressing body to establish a trunk balance. In this state, the pair of chest pressing bodies and the pair of waist pressing bodies are moved away from each other to apply a tensile load to spinal deformity and a state in which the spinal deformity is corrected so as to approach a correction rate by the spinal deformity correction and fusion surgery can be maintained. As a result, a more effective correction rate is achieved by spinal deformity correction and fusion surgery while simplifying the operative procedures of spinal deformity correction and fusion surgery, shortening the operative time, and lessening the burden on the patient.

A modular surgical patient positioner unit apparatus, system and method for adjustably positioning human joints such as knees for surgical operating procedures having a base plate to support moveably a transformable carriage that can be releasably locked in position and which adjustably supports a boot or other limb holder which can be releasably locked in position by the carriage. The base plate also is configured with a side bar located at a mid-portion of the base plate to secure to an arc clamp configured to secure the positioning system to a side rail of an operating table in a medical procedure on the left or right side of the body. An extension unit also is provided and configured to secure to a lower surface of the base plate to extend the base plate of the system, as needed, for larger limbs of patients, which extension unit is configured with a stud and post locking portions for securing to the base plate and for positioning in a medical procedure on either side of the body.

An apparatus for supporting an arm of a human patient during a medical procedure can include a base, an arm pad, and barriers for shielding scatter radiation. A medial portion of the base can lie between the human patient and a table on which the human patient is supported. The arm pad can be positioned on a lateral portion of the base. A first barrier can be mounted to the base and can be positioned laterally intermediate the medial and lateral portions, the first barrier extending upwardly from the base to above the arm pad. A second barrier can be mounted to the lateral portion of the base and extend downwardly. The arm pad can include a radiopaque panel that is horizontal.

A robotic surgical tool includes an elongate shaft extended through a handle and having an end effector arranged at a distal end thereof, a rack extending along a portion of the shaft and operatively coupled to a knife located at the end effector, a first actuation system housed within the handle and operable to drive the rack and thereby advance or retract the knife at the end effector, the first actuation system including a sector gear engageable with the rack and including a tooth-free zone, and a second actuation system housed within the handle and operable to cause z-axis translation of the shaft through the handle. Rotating the sector gear such that the tooth-free zone faces the rack decouples the shaft from the first actuation system to allow the shaft to freely move in z-axis translation.

An apparatus for shielding radiation emitted during a medical procedure. The apparatus includes a board positionable on top of a procedure table. The board extends laterally between a first board edge and a second board edge, and longitudinally between a third board edge and a fourth board edge. The board includes a plurality of apertures distributed along at least one of the board edges. At least one radiation shield is removably mountable to the board. The at least one radiation shield includes at least one peg engageable with any one of the apertures in the board. The apparatus can include a body shield assembly and/or an adjustable screen assembly.
