Support pad assemblies and person support apparatuses are disclosed. A person support apparatus includes a base frame, a longitudinal frame coupled to the base frame, and a support deck supported on the longitudinal frame. The longitudinal frame extends in a longitudinal direction and the support deck is adjustable from a planar configuration to a concave configuration or a convex configuration.

Some systems, devices and methods detailed herein provide adjustable restraint device maintaining a selected position of a person relative to a support structure, for example, to maintain a safe and customizable patient position during a surgical procedure or during medical transport. For example, in particular embodiments, the adjustable restraint devices can be releasably lockable at a customized position along the surgical table and can be conveniently manipulated to a curved or other customized configuration (e.g., to engage with a patient's limb) before being releasably locked into that particular customized configuration.

An articulating patient support table comprises first and second patient support sections hingedly connected together along respective hinge ends. A longitudinal translation subassembly connected to a base by a position adjustable pedestal supports the first patient support section in cantilevered relationship. The position adjustment assembly includes a lift mechanism operable to raise and lower the longitudinal translation subassembly relative to the base and a pivot assembly operable to pivot the longitudinal translation subassembly fore and aft and side to side relative to the base.

A patient support system includes independently adjustable end columns supporting a centrally hinged, jointed or breaking patient support structure. At least one column includes a powered rotation assembly. The patient support includes at least two sections. A coordinated drive system provides for both upwardly and downwardly breaking or jointed orientations of the two sections in various inclined and tilted positions. Cable, cantilevered and pull-rod systems are included.

A surgical frame and method for use thereof is provided. The surgical frame is capable of reconfiguration before, during, or after surgery. The surgical frame includes a main beam that can be rotated, raised/lowered, and tilted upwardly/downwardly to afford positioning and repositioning of a patient supported thereon. The surgical frame also includes a reconfigurable upper leg support for supporting portions of the upper legs, the hips, and the lower back of the patient to facilitate positioning and repositioning there during surgery. The upper leg support via reconfiguration thereof can accommodate patients of different sizes, can provide flexure of the patient's lumbar spine to facilitate surgical access thereto, and can prevent unwanted torsion of a patient's spine during such reconfiguration.

The present inventive subject matter describes a device and system for positioning, adjusting, and stretching a patient's extremity for surgical procedures where alignment is critical and minute adjustments may be required repeatedly. The device helps in maintaining the patient's extremity stationary, once the physician has selected the precise position for the elected procedure. The device uses using a combination of an articulating and a rotating frame, support plates and support rings that are attached to the extremity surgical positioning system. The system acts as a limb splint that is firmly attached to the surgical table. The support plates are attached to the patient via a series of adjustable straps preventing the extremity from moving independently of the support plate. A locking rack and gear configuration has adjustable locking pivot points that are positioned along and within the outer/inner proximal tube and outer/inner distal tube that lengthens or rotates various portions of the extremity.

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 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 support relative to the spar.

A device for use with an OR table for supporting a patient's head in a sniff position has a support assembly including a base and patient head support for mounting to an end of an OR table; a pneumatic or mechanical jack, or an expandable bellows, supporting the patient head support for raising or lowering the patient's head relative to the base; a rotatable axis allowing for flexion and extension of the neck; and a mounting assembly for mounting the support assembly to the end of the operating table.

A surgery table utilizing first and second sections which are hingedly attached to one another. First and second sections are also connected to supports apart from the hinged portion. An elevator moves one of the sections upwardly and downwardly at the support. The resultant position of the frame formed by the first and second sections may take the configuration of a flat surface or an upwardly or downwardly oriented “V”.
