Apparatus (20) for positioning the lower limb of a patient (500) during operation, in particular for hip replacement operations with anterior approach, comprising: a traction arm (30) with at least a distal portion (34, 36) defining a traction axis (x); a support framework (40) coupled to said traction arm (30) so as to allow the adjustment of the position of one of its distal ends (32); a coupling (60) constrained to said traction arm (30) and arranged to be associated to the distal end of the lower limb of the patient (500); at least a first actuator (34) which defines with its action a relative movement of the coupling (60) with respect to the traction arm (30), at least a component of said relative movement being parallel to the traction axis (x).

A surgical leg positioner capable of bending the knee in varus or valgus while simultaneously distracting the tibia from the femur, the leg positioner having a thigh clamp module, a swing arm module connected to the thigh clamp module in a manner that offsets a joint axis laterally to the side of the knee of the patient so as not to damage the opposite compartment of the knee when bent in varus or valgus, and a rail lock assembly to lock the knee in varus or valgus. The swing arm module also distracts the knee simultaneously when the knee is bent in varus or valgus. The swing arm module also permits flexion and extension of the knee at the knee's natural flexion-extension axis. The surgical leg positioner also utilizes a thigh brace that properly aligns the leg on the surgical leg positioner.

A device for repositioning bone fracture fragments is disclosed. The device has a carrier assembly and a first arm assembly attached to the carrier assembly, the first arm assembly configured to hold a first bone fracture fragment. The device also has a second arm assembly attached to the carrier assembly, the second arm assembly configured to hold a second bone fracture fragment. The device further has an actuator assembly configured to adjust the second arm assembly, and an operating assembly configured to control an adjustment of the second arm assembly via the actuator assembly. The operating assembly is a manually operatable operating assembly.

A human body positioning system can employ a base that supports a first arm via a first hinge, a second arm connected to the first arm via a second hinge, and a third arm connected to the second arm via a third hinge. A human body may be supported within the third arm by a body support. Each of the arm can be configured with a cutout region positioned to provide physical access to a portion of the human body.

The present subject disclosure provides a novel system and method of maintaining a patient in an optimal position for spinal or other surgeries where the position of the patient and access to the surgical site may be very helpful. Further, neurophysiological data is obtained from the patient in real time through sensors on the patient contacting platforms and relayed to a system which determines whether the patient position should be moved to maintain optimal and viability health during the procedure.

A patient support apparatus includes a surgical table and a limb support unit coupled to the surgical table. The limb support unit includes a support platform coupled to the surgical table in a fixed position, a first limb holder coupled to the support platform in a fixed position relative to the support platform, and a second limb holder coupled to the support platform and spaced apart from the first limb holder. The first limb holder includes a multi-axis joint coupled to the support platform in a fixed position and a spar coupled to the multi-axis joint to move relative to the support platform while supporting a patient's limb that has been coupled to the spar.

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.

The present disclosure relates to portable medical systems and methods for deploying a remote surgical theater. The portable medical system may include a portable medical container, a sanitization compartment, and a power supply. The portable medical container may be transitionable between a closed position and an open position. The sanitization compartment may be disposed within the portable medical container and transitionable between a closed position and an open position. The power supply may be disposed within the portable medical container, the power supply configured to selectively supply electrical power to the sanitization compartment. The power supply may be configured to receive user input and, in response to the user input, transmit the electrical power to the sanitization compartment.

The present invention discloses a surgical traction system with a hand gripped tension adjustment device that slidably mounts onto a boom structure. When activated the tension adjustment device moves down the boom structure and incrementally adjusts the tension in a traction rope. The boom structure attaches to a bracket assembly that mounts onto the short end of a surgical table.

A hip distractor includes a pair of distractor members and a support configured to be fastened to a surgical table. The support includes at least two mounts for coupling to a pair of joints that couple the distractor members to the support. Another hip distractor includes a pair of distractor assemblies that are configured to apply a distraction load to a patient. Each of the assemblies includes a joint for coupling the corresponding assembly to a surgical table. The joint permits vertical and horizontal angular adjustment of the corresponding assembly. A method of distracting a hip includes coupling a patient's legs to a pair of distractor assemblies and simultaneously adjusting a vertical angle and a horizontal angle of at least one of the distractor assemblies.
