Patent number: 10849808Abstract: A patient support device includes an alternate support top, a head support unit partially supporting the alternate support top, a foot support unit longitudinally spaced from the head support unit and an adaptor associated with the foot support unit. The adaptor is securable to the foot support unit so that the adaptor and foot support unit cooperate to partially support the alternate support top so that the alternate support top extends footwardly beyond the foot support unit. The roles of the head and foot support units may be reversed. A related patient support system includes a baseline set of support tops and a set of alternate support tops.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2017Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Allen Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Anthony V. Catacchio, Andrew D. Clark, Phillip B. Dolliver, Jesse S. Drake, Christopher B. Dubois, Zachary B. Konsin, Michael C. Pierce

Patent number: 10702437Abstract: A surgical table extension comprises a frame and a connector. The frame includes a surgical table connecting portion, a first connector, and a second connector. A connector enabler is movably coupled to the frame and is configured to selectively enable one of the first connector and the second connector to be removably coupled with a support device.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Allen Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Andrew D. Clark, Anthony V. Catacchio, Jesse S. Drake, Dustin T. Libby

Patent number: 10675203Abstract: A sterile hand connection device is used to attach a patient's arm to a cable adaptor of a surgical arm positioning apparatus. The cable adaptor is connected to two cable ends of a cable of the surgical arm positioning apparatus. The hand connection includes a clip, a buckle, and a wrap that is mounted to the clip. The buckle is attached to the cable adaptor and the clip snaps onto the buckle. The hand wrap is mounted to the clip and wraps around a patient's hand, wrist, and forearm.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2015Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: Allem Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Anthony V. Catacchio, Andrew D. Clark, Zachary B. Konsin

Patent number: 10398615Abstract: A patient support apparatus includes a surgical table and a limb support unit coupled to the surgical table. The limb support unit includes a support platform coupled to the surgical table in a fixed position, a first limb holder coupled to the support platform in a fixed position relative to the support platform, and a second limb holder coupled to the support platform and spaced apart from the first limb holder. The first limb holder includes a multi-axis joint coupled to the support platform in a fixed position and a spar coupled to the multi-axis joint to move relative to the support platform while supporting a patient's limb that has been coupled to the spar.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Allen Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Andrew D. Clark, Jesse S. Drake, Anthony V. Catacchio, Dustin T. Libby, Mark A. Sutherland

Patent number: 10369069Abstract: A surgical arm positioning system has a cable including two end portions coupled to a connection member of a hand grip. The cable and connection member form a continuous loop. The surgical arm positioning system further includes a frame that supports a number of pulleys. The continuous loop is trained around the pulleys. The surgical arm positioning system also includes a tensile resistance member engaged with the cable. The tensile resistance member provides tensile force to the cable to resist movement of the continuous loop relative to the frame, thereby to hold the patient's arm relatively still during surgery.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2015Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: Allen Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Anthony V. Catacchio, Andrew D. Clark, Zachary B. Konsin

Patent number: 10045901Abstract: A carriage for a limb support includes a space for receiving a longitudinal member of a patient support apparatus, a plurality of rollers configured to engage the longitudinal member and a locking mechanism. The plurality of rollers is configured to maintain alignment of the carriage during movement of the carriage along the longitudinal member. The carriage also includes an elastomeric member that resists rotation to prevent unwanted motion of the carriage. The locking mechanism is configured to secure the carriage to the longitudinal member at any of an infinite number of positions along the length of the longitudinal member, the locking mechanism being lockable with a single action.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2015Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: Allen Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Anthony V. Catacchio, Jesse S. Drake, Andrew D. Clark, Frederick K. Newey, Sarah M. Steinberg, Dustin T. Libby
