Leg Immobilizer
A leg immobilizer for securing the leg of a patient during a procedure in an elevated position, the leg including a thigh portion, a popliteal fossa portion and a knee portion. The leg immobilizer includes a padded bolster having a leg engagement channel formed in its top surface. The leg engagement channel includes a thigh engagement portion, a popliteal fossa engagement portion, a calf engagement portion, and ankle engagement portion, and two continuous leg side engagement surfaces. The two continuous leg side engagement surfaces prevent lateral movement of the leg when the leg is positioned within the leg engagement channel.
ROTATABLE FIXATION BRIDGE
A rotatable fixation bridge as described herein may include a first end fixedly connectable to a reference and defining at least a portion of a first joint; a second end fixedly connectable to an anchor and defining at least a portion of a second joint; and a bridge member extending between and rotatably secured to the first end and the second end, the bridge member rotatable relative to an axis and comprising a central portion offset from the axis.
Leg positioner for direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty
Disclosed is a leg positioner apparatus to secure placement of a leg in total hip arthroplasty procedures. The leg positioner apparatus can attach to a standard operating table and helps in positioning the operative leg for femoral preparation. The leg positioner apparatus includes a post assembly mounted to an attachment bracket. The attachment bracket can be attached to the operating table. The operative leg can rest on the post assembly during the surgical procedure.
Bed for endoscopic examination of stomach and large intestine
Proposed is a bed for endoscopic examination of the stomach and the large intestine, the bed being configured to enable a distance to a patient to be narrowed in a case of the endoscopic examination of the large intestine and a patient's head to be tilted in a case of the endoscopic examination of the stomach. To this end, the bed may at least include: a central main body configured to support at least a part of the torso and the buttocks of a patient; a lower main body configured to be coupled to the central main body by a pitching shaft at a buttocks side of a patient so that a pitching movement is possible with the central main body as a reference; and a pitching coupling unit configured to allow the lower main body to perform a pitching movement with the central main body as the reference.
Support devices for head up cardiopulmonary resuscitation
An elevation device used in the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) includes a base and an upper support pivotably coupled to the base. The upper support is configured to elevate the individual's upper back, shoulders and head when pivoted. The upper support is expandable lengthwise. The upper support includes a neck support that is configured to support the individual's spine in a region of the individual's C7 and C8 vertebrae throughout elevation of the upper back, shoulders and head.
METHODS AND DEVICES FOR SURGICAL ACCESS
An apparatus for positioning a patient during surgery includes a surgical table frame having a longitudinal dimension and a centerline, and at least one laterally movable support mounted thereon that includes longitudinal rails and transverse rails, and one or more modular body supports mounted on the surgical table frame. The laterally movable support includes a pair of platforms where one platform is laterally translatable relative to the other platform on a plurality of tracks between the platforms, the lateral translation being to one or both of the left and the right of the centerline.
DEVICE FOR SUPPORTING A HUMAN BODY IN A LYING POSITION
A device for supporting a human body in a lying-down position, notably in a prone position, is made up of at least one shoulder support module and at least one pelvis support module. The shoulder support module and the pelvis support module are made up of a first portion that comes into contact with the human body, the first portions forming a pneumatic cavity having a valve, and the first portion of the shoulder support module being kept at a pressure of less than 0.04 bar underneath the weight of the human body.
SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND WORKFLOWS FOR CONCOMITANT PROCEDURES
Robotic medical systems may perform concomitant procedures. A robotic system can include a first robotic arm configured to manipulate a flexible instrument and a second robotic arm configured to manipulate a rigid instrument. The robotic system can include a first arm support for supporting the first robotic arm and a second arm support, distinct from the first arm support, for supporting the second robotic arm. The robotic system can include a display for displaying feedback from the flexible instrument and the rigid instrument.
Modular surgical system
A modular surgical system includes a base and a column extending from the base. An adaptor is positioned at a top of the column. An elevation assembly is provided to adjust a height of the adaptor. A control system is positioned in at least one of the base or the column. The control system is configured to communicate with remote devices. The control system is further configured to control the elevation assembly.
Linkage mechanisms for mounting robotic arms to a surgical table
In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a surgical table and an adapter coupled thereto. The adapter includes an interface structure, a first link member coupled to a second link member, and a third link member coupled to a fourth link member. The first link member and the third link member are each pivotally coupled to the interface mechanism at a shared first pivot joint. The second link member and the fourth link member are each coupleable to a robotic arm. The first link member and the second link member collectively provide for movement of the first robotic arm in at least one of a lateral, longitudinal or vertical direction relative to the table top. The third link member and the fourth link member collectively provide for movement of the second robotic arm in at least one of a lateral, longitudinal or vertical direction relative to the table top.
