A device for supporting a patient's arm includes a rail clamp configured to be secured to a rail or other structure on a table such as an operating table. The rail clamp includes a clamp body and a socket configured to receive a base of an attachment such as a support arm or lateral brace. The base may be inserted longitudinally in the socket on the rail clamp. A stabilizer bar extends from the base in some embodiments. The base is moveable in the socket such that the stabilizer bar may be raised or lowered relative to the rail clamp. One or more modular attachments for supporting various regions of a patient's arm may be secured to the stabilizer bar or the rail clamp.

A forearm and wrist fracture table includes base members, vertical bars, horizontal bars, an elbow support member and a hand support member. The vertical bars includes a first vertical bar and a second vertical bar attached to the support base members. The horizontal bars are attached between the support base members and vertical bars to provide horizontal stability and length adjustment between the support base members and the vertical bars. The elbow support member is attached to the first vertical bar to provide support for the elbow. The hand support member is attached to the second vertical bar to receive and support a hand extending from the elbow, wherein the fractured arm is supported between the elbow support member and the hand support member, wherein a surgeon is allowed to modulate an amount of needing pressure required to distract fracture fragments, and thereby reducing fracture and healing the fracture site.

A modular surgical patient positioner unit apparatus, system and method for adjustably positioning human joints such as knees for surgical operating procedures having a base plate to support moveably a transformable carriage that can be releasably locked in position and which adjustably supports a boot or other limb holder which can be releasably locked in position by the carriage. The base plate also is configured with a side bar located at a mid-portion of the base plate to secure to an arc clamp configured to secure the positioning system to a side rail of an operating table in a medical procedure on the left or right side of the body. An extension unit also is provided and configured to secure to a lower surface of the base plate to extend the base plate of the system, as needed, for larger limbs of patients, which extension unit is configured with a stud and post locking portions for securing to the base plate and for positioning in a medical procedure on either side of the body.

An apparatus for shielding radiation emitted during a medical procedure. The apparatus includes a board positionable on top of a procedure table. The board extends laterally between a first board edge and a second board edge, and longitudinally between a third board edge and a fourth board edge. The board includes a plurality of apertures distributed along at least one of the board edges. At least one radiation shield is removably mountable to the board. The at least one radiation shield includes at least one peg engageable with any one of the apertures in the board. The apparatus can include a body shield assembly and/or an adjustable screen assembly.

An armboard assembly includes an armboard deck including a cavity formed in a lower surface of the armboard deck, an armboard mount including a plurality of radially extending teeth positioned within a mount portion of the cavity, and an engagement assembly movable relative to the armboard deck between an engaged position to engage the plurality of teeth of the armboard mount and a disengaged position to disengage the plurality of teeth of the armboard mount. The engagement assembly includes a handle including one or more legs extending from an upper surface of the handle, which engage an insertion hole formed in the armboard deck and a channel extending from the insertion hole toward the armboard mount, and an indexing member positioned within the cavity of the armboard deck and coupled to the handle. The indexing member limits movement of the engagement assembly by maintaining the legs within the channel.

A cushion device is configured to be positioned upon a tray of a medical instrument stand such as a Mayo stand. The cushion device includes an upper portion, a front portion that connects to a front side of the upper portion and extends downward therefrom, and first and second side portions that connect to respective first and second longitudinal sides of the upper portion and extend downward therefrom. The inner surfaces of the upper portion, front portion, and side portions define a hollow receptacle that is configured in size and shape to receive a tray of a medical instrument stand so that the cushion device can be selectively positioned on the medical instrument stand.

A soft, inflatable, single use, repositioning device for ob/gyn/pelvic examination and procedures, more particularly, to single time use and/or partially reusable pillow like device. A flat collapsible/inflatable-expandable, repositioning and lifting apparatus for medical and ob/gyn examination and procedures and, more particularly, to a reposition and lift device, with a single or more than one, inflatable compartment. Various attachments may be provided, such as foot stirrups, sleeves, and handles, and optional accessories, with built in compressed gas cartridge, and/or a reusable pump for air source through connector. The device repositions, orient and raises the patient's lower back and the buttocks from supine, flat position to dorsal lithotomy and Trendelenburg position on a flat hospital bed to carry out an exam or a procedure, without moving a patient to a special exam room or using another table.

An orthopedic limb interface device is disclosed for positioning and retaining a lower portion of the arm of the human body during orthopedic operatory procedures. The device includes a handplate coupled to a sleeve. The sleeve surrounds and grips the arm and is lined with an inflatable bladder. The bladder includes a plurality of inflatable zones, at least one zone having inflation limiting means such that the inflated bladder has a variable inflation profile therealong. The variable inflation profile is configured to increase retention at target areas of the limb, while softly retaining other areas of the limb to avoid limb numbness. Areas of increased retention may engage portions of the arm to improve the grip on the arm for reliable limb distraction.

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.
