  • Patent number: 11918318
    Abstract: A surgical drape is disclosed herein that is to be used for medical procedures in order to ensure sterile portions are not contaminated. The surgical drape can be configured to be placed around a surgical site where an operative procedure is to be conducted. The surgical drape includes a u-shaped opening, at least one sleeve, and at least one flap on its proximal end. The at least one sleeve and the at least one flap extend outwardly from a top surface of the drape. The at least one flap includes adhesive components on one side that allow the at least one flap to be folded back on to itself to provide additional protective barrier from contamination.

  • Patent number: 11896533
    Abstract: A system for supporting or positioning a patient before, during, or after a medical procedure can include a platform configured to support at least a portion of a patient. A support column can be positioned beneath the platform. A base can be positioned beneath the support column and configured to support the support column. The base can include at least one drive wheel configured to contact a ground surface and move the platform with respect to the ground surface. A drive assist user interface module can be operatively connected to the at least one drive wheel. The drive assist user interface module can be configured to permit an operator of the system to selectively control movement of the at least one drive wheel. The drive assist user interface module can be part of or be attached to an attachment that includes a plate having a top surface.

  • Patent number: 11596568
    Abstract: A system for positioning a patient before, during or after a medical procedure can include an arm assembly having a proximal end, an opposing distal end, and at least one joint therebetween. The joint can be configured to permit the distal end of the arm assembly to move with respect to the proximal end of the arm assembly. The proximal end of the arm assembly can be configured to be fixed with respect to a surgical table. The system can also include a ball joint mechanism attached to the distal end of the arm assembly and to a head support configured to support a patient's head. The ball joint mechanism can include a ball joint and a motor. Activation of the motor can permit or prevent movement of the ball joint.

  • Publication number: 20090250073
    Abstract: A patient arm support comprises a first elongate resilient segment extending along an axis having a top and a bottom surface. The bottom surface is configured to rest upon a substantially planar surface and the top surface is configured to support an upper portion of the patient's arm. A second elongate resilient segment is attached to the first elongate resilient segment extending along the axis. The second elongate resilient segment has a top and a bottom surface, the bottom surface being configured to rest upon a substantially planar surface and the top surface being configured to support a lower portion of the patient's arm. A lengthwise channel is formed in the top surface of the second elongate resilient segment. The lengthwise channel may have a V-shaped cross-section configured to receive a portion of the patient's hand.
