Patient positioning system
A patient support system may include a pelvic bolster assembly and a thoracic bolster assembly. Each of the assemblies may be attached to a conventional surgical table frame by the surgical table frame's longitudinal rails. A plurality of adjustment mechanisms and components are provided to allow for easy and safe manipulation of a patient before and during surgery.
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.
Anterior boot for hip distraction
A surgical boot system and sleeve accessory for hip distraction. The surgical boot system includes an L-shaped rigid shell having a proximal portion and a distal portion. A soft liner is attached to the rigid shell and extends along at least one of the proximal portion and the distal portion. The surgical boot system also includes at least one strap assembly (which can be a plurality of strap assemblies) extending around the rigid shell. A load transmission hoop is connected to and extends around the distal portion of the rigid shell and an attachment point is connected to the load transmission hoop. The rigid shell is pivotable about the attachment point. Specifically, the attachment point is configured to interface with a hip distractor apparatus in a way that allows for multiple degrees of freedom.
DEVICE FOR POSITIONING A PERSON'S HEAD IN PREPARATION FOR A TREATMENT AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF
A head positioner is provided for correctly positioning a patient’s head, the head positioner configured for use with a stand, the head positioner comprising: a platform which is configured to be mounted on the stand; a slider which is in slidable engagement with the platform, the slider movable longitudinally; a bracket which is mounted on the slider or is integral with the slider; and a landmark pad, the landmark pad including a pin which is in rotational engagement with the bracket, and a central depression or a central aperture for accepting a selected landmark of a patient’s head.
SELF-RETAINING SURGICAL RETRACTOR
A self-retaining surgical retractor assembly for use with a patient in a lithotomy position on a surgical table; the retractor assembly comprising a base plate positioned underneath the buttocks of a patient and base plate is held between the patient and a surface of the operating table or examination bed supporting the patient such that the retractor assembly is self-holding; self-stabilizing, and is able to maintain a fixed position relative to patient during use in an examination position while not being attached to the surgical table.
System, device and method for stable airway management
Embodiments of a device facilitate controlled positioning and manipulation of an individual's relative head, neck and jaw positions to facilitate stable airway management. In various embodiments, the device includes a base to which support arms are movably attached. A thrust arm is movably attached to each support arm and a jaw disc is attached to each thrust arm and adapted for rotation in accommodating various shapes and sizes of patient jaws.
Medical device
A surgical operation table capable of operating a table with a large slide width without a slide mechanism interfering with other members in a slide operation of the table is provided. A surgical operation table S including a table 10 movable in a horizontal direction to a base 2 includes a slide mechanism 20 that moves the table 10 in the horizontal direction, and the slide mechanism 20 includes a rack 21a extending in a longitudinal direction of the table 10, a driving gear 26, a driven gear 27 and an idler gear 28 that are meshed with the rack 21a and rotate integrally, and an actuator 23 that supplies a rotational driving force to at least one of the gears 26 to 28.
LIMB SUPPORT FOR MEDICAL PROCEDURES
A height-adjustable support for supporting various bodily limbs over a wide range of limb positions, and in hospital rooms, doctors' offices, or other compact environments. The device permits a medical procedure to be performed by a single person while the device supports the limb. The device includes a rigid base, at least one support mounted to the base to extend therefrom, and a cradle mounted on the support, the cradle defining a surface configured to support a limb of a patient. The supports may be adjustable in length, and the cradle may be adjustable in angular position. The cradle may be U-shaped or otherwise concavely-shaped, and may be linked with a cushioning material. A cover may be provided, and the cover and/or cradle may be configured with complementary fasteners for releasably attaching the cover to the cradle, so that the cover may be discarded after each use.
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.
SURGERY PILLOW AND DEVICE COMBINING ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE HOLDER, BITE GUARD, AND PATIENT EYE PROTECTOR
A surgery apparatus includes a resilient foam pillow having an arrangement of labeled tabs for holding lines leading to/from a patient during and after surgery. A central cutout area in the pillow accommodates the patient's eyes, nose and mouth when in the prone position. Left and right channels in the foam pillow extend from a top edge of the pillow to the central cutout area for holding a breathing tube system. The foam pillow further includes a removably attachable chest support and opposite shoulder supports. A multipurpose holder device for placement on the patient's head has an arrangement of straps for securing an eye shield, a bite block and ventilator tube securing straps on the patient during surgery.
