Patent number: 11957628Abstract: A clamping device configured to secure a strap to a rail of a support table or operating table is provided, which prevents the patient from slipping, provides optimal patient stability when the table is placed in angle positions, and eliminates patient re-positioning during surgical procedure. The clamping device includes a body portion having a plurality of rail arms that form a rail channel, the clamping device including a pivot jaw assembly with jaw rail flange portions coupled to sides of the body portion. The pivot jaw is hingedly operated between an open and closed position. The rail arms further include a strap channel configured to hold a strap disposed around the side rail, and to secure the strap to the rail using a clamp bar via force exerted on rail and jaw flange portions of the clamp assembly, to effectively clamp the strap to the table.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2022Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Tamas Kovacs

Publication number: 20240065913Abstract: The invention is a patient positioner assembly, system, article of manufacture, kit, and method of positioning a patient useful in surgical procedures to secure and hold a patient on a support table. The patient positioner comprises a sheet assembly, a pad assembly, a film for protecting a patient-facing surface of the pad assembly, and straps for a patient's limb(s) that operably connects to a support table pad having hook portions configured to operably connect to a loop base of the sheet assembly thereby operably connecting the support table pad to the sheet assembly. The sheet assembly can be configured as a cover, sheet and/or drape from suitable materials impermeable or that otherwise do not permit the passage of a fluid through its substance to the table pad and/or the split-pad assembly. The gel pad may have advantageous coefficient of static friction and/or adhesion properties that facilitate improved holding characteristics.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 31, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Innovative Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: Richard M. LARKIN, Logan S. SLOAN

Patent number: 11839574Abstract: This disclosure pertains to a separable base plate assembly configured to securely attached to a side rail of an operating room table and to hold, move, and maintain a body part in a specific position as needed in orthopedic surgery. The separable base plate assembly is further configured to decouple into separate parts to facilitate sterilization of said parts, after an orthopedic surgery is performed. The separable base plate assembly may comprise two or more base portions including track portions, a base plate connector, drop pins, and associated components adapted for securing the assembly, which in turn is configured to be assembled to a clamp that rigidly attaches the assembly to the operating room table side rail.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Innovative Medical Products, Inc.Inventor: Scott A. Albino

Patent number: 11833086Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2022Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Innovative Medical Products, Inc.Inventors: Earl Cole, Tim Blackwell

Publication number: 20230380826Abstract: The present invention relates to a carriage assembly and, more particularly, to a carriage apparatus, system, and method for coupling to a base plate and slidably holding a patient positioner, such as a distractor, at one or more angles with respect to an operating table. The carriage assembly may comprise a base, a jaw, and a fastener, which, when tightened, urges the jaw and base to clamp the rail of a baseplate, the baseplate being coupled to a side rail clamp via pins. Tapered openings in the carriage base may hold the patient positioner either vertically or at an angle with respect to the vertical. A secondary carriage may hold a boot configured to hold a foot. The carriages may be linearly translated to position the knee at a precise angles and provide enhanced structural stability.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2023Publication date: November 30, 2023Applicant: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Tamas KOVACS

Publication number: 20230338218Abstract: A multi-directional, equalizer clamp device is disclosed, the clamp device being configured to attach and secure objects, such as posts, rails and the like, for a multiplicity of clamping applications that benefit from single-point clamping operation. The clamp device comprises upper and lower body portions which may be configured to clamp to a side rail of a support table, while further configured to receive objects and clamp them along a secondary clamping direction. The clamp device further comprises a control assembly, such as a knob, to facilitate and achieve simultaneous clamping along both primary and secondary clamping directions at a single point of control. A jogging clamp for clamping to variable sized objects in a primary direction comprises a plurality of spherical, indexing recesses disposed in the lower jaw and matching spherical washer disposed on the control assembly configured to allow large, indexed vertical variation in the clamping range.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 21, 2023Publication date: October 26, 2023Applicant: INNOVATIVE MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.Inventor: Tamas KOVACS
