Abstract: An autoclavable device for mechanically holding a limb, particularly the leg, in the optimum position for performing surgery thereon. The device includes a central support member having an outwardly projecting rod for detachably securing the support member to an operating table. The device also includes an upwardly extending arm that is pivotally connected to the central support member and is adapted to engage the leg on one side or the other of the knee. An extension member in the form of an elongated rod is connected to the central support by means of a ball joint to permit angular adjustment of the rod with respect to the support. Adjustably mounted on the extension member rod is a U-shaped member adapted to engage the lower extremity of the leg in the area of the ankle. A handle is provided at the outer end of the extension member rod to facilitate adjusting the angular position of the rod and thus of the lower extremity of the leg.

Abstract: A tray for counting a discrete number of pills or capsules from a bulk supply including a housing having a bottom wall, two vertical opposed sidewalls and a pair of arcuate-shaped end walls that are arranged to turn upwardly and inwardly from the bottom wall. A divider extends between the two sidewalls or the housing to separate it into two individual compartments. A horizontal platform is removably supported upon the top of the divider in contiguous relationship with the end walls to establish elongated entrances to each compartment therebetween. In operation a bulk supply of pills or capsules is deposited upon the platform and the desired amount counted out using a conventional spatula. The counted tablets are passed into the entrance of one compartment while the overage remaining on the platform is passed into the other thereby positively segregating the tablets.
