Devices to secure the hand of a patient to a limb positioning device while evenly distributing the applied traction load across the patient's hand and wrist are disclosed. The hand is placed in the open position into a soft mitten, while an anatomically-shaped plate is attached to the mitten for supporting the palm of the hand in the open position. Straps are then secured around the patient's wrist and hand. Finally, the entire device is overwrapped an elastic bandage and secured to the limb positioning device. When traction is applied, the shape of the plate, the construction of the mitten, and the straps combine to allow low-contact pressure across the patient's hand and wrist.

A stable surgical platform table attachment for fixation of upper extremity trauma. The surgical platform assembly may comprise a stable platform for the patient's upper arm. The platform may be attached to a frame assembly, which may be capable of being supported by a surgical peg board. The surgical platform assembly may be radiolucent and height adjustable. The surgical platform assembly may provide an extension platform for the patient's lower arm, where the angle of the extension platform may be easily changed as needed or the entire extension platform easily removed, as desired.

The present invention includes an apparatus, to be used during a medical procedure to support a patient's arm, which generally includes an armboard and an optional wrist support device attached to a patient that may be removably connected to the armboard, and a general method of use.

A patient support apparatus for spinal conditions comprising a knee support 10,12, a patient torso support 32,60 for supporting a patient in the kneeling position, means 32 for supporting a patient's torso in a range of inclinations below horizontal in order to cause a mass of the patient's torso to tension the spine. The torso support 32,60 is supported by a radius arm 50 that is pivoted below the torso support 32,60, is free to swivel about a fixed joint 52 located forward of, and below the level of, the knee support 10,12, and is inclined upwardly forwardly towards a ring pad support 60 for a patient's head.

A support cushion for supporting a lower arm that includes an inner side facing towards the body with a concave shape and an outer side facing away from the body with a convex shape, and the upper side has a central seam that forms a recess, whereby the recess is bordered by side bulges

A wrist tower attachment for an arm stabilizer device is configured for modular attachment on a support arm secured in a rail clamp mounted on a rail of an operating table. The wrist tower attachment includes a wrist tower base and a wrist tower post protruding upwardly from the wrist tower base. The support arm includes a stabilizer bar having a distal bar end, and the wrist tower attachment is secured onto the distal bar end. In some embodiments, the wrist tower attachment includes a female axial socket shaped to receive the male distal bar end. A traction bar is positioned on the wrist tower post and protrudes radially from the wrist tower post. A tension gauge is disposed on the traction bar in some embodiments.

The invention features a kit comprising components for a device for positioning and supporting a limb (e.g., an arm or leg) of a patient. The invention also features methods of assembling and adjusting a limb positioning device.

A device for supporting recovery of an injured upper extremity of a subject includes a support member and a retainer. The support member has an inclined surface for supporting at least a first portion of the injured upper extremity at an angle of elevation. The retainer is for immobilising at least a second portion of the injured upper extremity on the support member.

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.

The present invention is a comfort device that is comprised of a soft, yet firm pillow encased in a soft, cashmere-like covering. It can be held by patients, young and old, while receiving medical or dental care. It has padded handles to grasp when holding the pillow snug against one's body, to provide additional comfort and security.
