The indexing member limits movement of the engagement assembly by maintaining the legs within the channel.

A patient support apparatus for spine surgery includes first and second lift columns. A patient support frame extends between the first and second lift columns. The patient support frame has a first section to support a torso of a patient and a beam that extends from the first section. The beam is coupled to a foot end region of the first section about midway between opposite sides of the first section. A first set of leg supports are located adjacent a first side of the beam and a second set of leg supports are located adjacent a second side of the beam. The first and second sets of leg supports are independently movable relative to the beam and relative to the first section to support the legs of the patient in a plurality of positions.

A system for positioning and restraining a hand during hand surgery and similar may include a support plate and a plurality of finger restraining elements, wherein each of the finger restraining elements is removably connectable to a finger or a plurality of fingers, and is detachably attachable to the support plate. The support plate may include a magnetic material, and each of the finger re-straining elements may include a rigid ring portion for receiving a finger, and a fastening portion with a permanent magnet for detachably attaching the finger restraining element in a desired position on the support plate, so that a finger received in the ring portion can be secured to the support plate in the desired position.

A patient arm support, a method for using thereof, for supporting an arm of a patient during an operation when said patient is lying in a supine position on an operating table. The patient arm support has a base, an upper surface opposite to the base shaped to receive and to secure onto the patient arm support at least a portion of the arm; a proximal end; a distal end; a groove, running along at least a portion of a length of the upper surface of the patient arm support, for receiving at least one of at least a portion of the arm and a hand joined to the arm.

Systems and methods of the disclosed embodiments may include an arm support device for the arms of a person. The device may include a first loop sized to receive a first arm when the first arm is positioned at a release position relative to the first loop, and to hold the first arm secure when the first arm is positioned at a securing position relative to the first loop, and a second loop sized to receive a second arm when the second arm is positioned at a release position relative to the second loop, and to hold the second arm secure when the second arm is positioned at a securing position relative to the second loop. The first loop may be connected with the second loop so as to support the person's arms when in a relaxed state.

A surgical arm positioning system has a cable including two end portions coupled to a connection member of a hand grip. The cable and connection member form a continuous loop. The surgical arm positioning system further includes a frame that supports a number of pulleys. The continuous loop is trained around the pulleys. The surgical arm positioning system also includes a tensile resistance member engaged with the cable. The tensile resistance member provides tensile force to the cable to resist movement of the continuous loop relative to the frame, thereby to hold the patient's arm relatively still during surgery.

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 extremity stabilization apparatus and methods for supporting and immobilizing an extremity during venous access. One example of an apparatus includes a cuff having a top surface structured for receiving a limb of a patient, the cuff having a front end and a back end. The surface of the cuff may be c-shaped such that the cuff partially surrounds the extremity received in the cuff. The apparatus further includes a handle having a grip for receiving the hand of a patient, the grip arranged offset from the front end of the cuff, and an assembly coupled to the cuff, the assembly movable between at least a first position and a second position to change the position of the top surface of the cuff, each of the first position and second positions corresponding to a different angle of the top surface of the cuff.

In one example, an apparatus for positioning a patient's forearm during a medical procedure has a main panel portion, an extended panel portion and a base panel portion. The main panel portion has an inner surface and an outer surface, a first longitudinal side edge, a second longitudinal side edge, a first latitudinal side edge and a second latitudinal side edge. The extended panel portion has panel portion having a proximal end edge and a distal end edge, and an inner surface, wherein said distal end edge forms an angled configuration with said main panel portion for positioning the patient's left forearm and wrist suitably for receiving an arterial catheter. The base panel portion has a first longitudinal side edge and a second longitudinal side edge, wherein said first longitudinal side edge of said base panel portion extends generally perpendicularly outward from said second longitudinal side edge of said main panel portion.

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.
