An operating table is proposed that may form a system with a remote control. The operating table has a column and table top comprising at least three elements, at least two of which are movable. Interface joints (40.sub.1-40.sub.3) are provided between adjacent elements and are controlled to move by a controller (100). A light emitting arrangement (42) is arranged at each interface joint and is adapted to display light in a pattern having a characteristic that is visibly unique to the associated interface joint such that the interface joints are visually distinguishable from one another. The remote control (50) has touch controls (60.sub.1-60.sub.3) for communicating signals for controlling movement of the interface joints (40.sub.1-40.sub.3). Each touch control is associated with one interface joint and is provided with a visible pattern having a characteristic that is substantially the same as that displayed at the associated interface joint.

A surgical or exam table includes a radiolucent patient support surface; and a shelf beneath the patient support surface, wherein an x-ray panel may be supported on said shelf for x-raying a human or animal subject resting on the support surface.

A surgical mount system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes a bed mount, a tubular base attached to the bed mount and comprising a telescoping member slidably coupled with the tubular base, the telescoping member comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is disposed inside the tubular base, and wherein the telescoping member translates linearly along an axis of the tubular base; and a support arm attached to the second end of the telescoping member, the support arm having a length running from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the support arm rotates relative to the bed mount about the axis of the tubular base.

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 leg-holding device for hip or knee surgery is provided. The device comprises a support fixture adapted to fasten the device on an edge of a surface. In addition, the device comprises a main frame arranged on the support fixture in a detachable manner, adapted to move along a first lateral axis and a first rotational axis with respect to the support fixture. Furthermore, the device comprises a rotating frame arranged on the main frame in a detachable manner, adapted to move along a second lateral axis and a second rotational axis with respect to the main frame. Moreover, the device comprises a foot plate arranged on the rotating frame in a detachable manner, adapted to move along a third lateral axis and a third rotational axis with respect to the rotating frame.

A device used to mount items to a sterile table. The device having a base unit, an actuating unit, and at least one arm with a rounded tip. The base unit rests on a sterile table (or on or around a rigid item on a sterile table). The actuating unit is slidably coupled to the base unit, and the base unit and actuating unit extend below the top-surface-plane of the table. At least one arm is pivotally connected to the base unit in such a way that when the base unit is properly placed, the arm(s) extends under the table surface, below the vertical edge of the table. When force is applied to the actuating unit causing it to move, its movement then causes the arm(s) to engage with part of the table, holding the device in place.

A pad assembly, system and method of securing a patient onto an operating table when the patient is in the Trendelenburg position. The pad assembly and system is used to support and hold a patient on a medical procedure table during a medical procedure performed while the table, and thus the patient lying thereon, is in an inclined position, such as the Trendelenburg position. The pad assembly and system has characteristics which promote improved securing to eliminate shifting and/or sliding due to gravitational forces when the patient's body is in the Trendelenburg position, as well as promote a secure holding of the patient in a desired position on the table, in order to minimize injury to the patient. The pad assembly and system further has improved channels to allow for drainage of fluids that may otherwise be trapped between the patient's body and the OR Table during the surgical procedure.

Disclose herein are embodiments related to a delivery system for performing a minimally invasive procedure, the system including one or more station legs configured to attach to an operating surface and a cross-beam connected to the one or more station legs and running from 0° to 45° relative to a top of the operating surface, wherein a distance between the operating surface and the cross-beam is adjustable. Additionally, an embodiment may have a first arm connected to the cross-beam, a second arm connected to the first arm, and an axial member connected to the second arm, the axial member comprising an axial joint. The delivery system may then be configured to advance to an internal target site using the axial joint while maintaining a stationary trajectory in relation to the internal target site with the delivery system trajectory is modifiable at the target site.

The present invention relates to holding equipment at an operating table. In order to removably provide equipment at a patient support, a holding device (10) is provided that comprises an accessory rail (12) and at least a first portion (14) of a coupling is provided. The accessory rail is configured as an attachment interface (16) for temporal attachment of equipment (18) at a patient support (20). The accessory rail is rigidly connected to the first portion of the coupling. The first portion of the coupling is configured to provide, in interaction with a second portion (22) of the coupling, a movable connection for connecting the accessory rail to a patient support, wherein the movable connection is configured to provide a horizontal sliding movement of the accessory rail in relation to the patient support. The provision of a movable connection allows, for example, to temporarily move or even remove the accessory rail together with mounted equipment. For example, during an intervention procedure, for certain phases, the equipment is not needed or a different configuration is needed, and wider access to the patient is required. The equipment can then easily be removed and put back in place.
