  • Publication number: 20230294627
    Abstract: Cable protector devices, assemblies, and systems. The cable protection system may include a moveable system with wheels for moving the moveable system across a floor and a cable pusher attached to each of the wheels. Each cable pusher may include a frame with a pair of deflector legs configured to be positioned in front of and behind each wheel in close proximity to the floor. The cable pusher may be magnetically secured to the wheel, and the deflector legs may magnetically connect to the frame. As the wheels spin or rotate, the frame and deflector legs remain stationary, thereby pushing obstacles out of the way.

  • Publication number: 20210236228
    Abstract: A patient stabilization system includes a stabilization base and a plurality of wheels mounted to the stabilization base. The plurality of wheels is configured to move the stabilization base along a surface. The patient stabilization system also includes a locking mechanism configured to selectively restrain movement of the stabilization base with respect to the surface, a column portion extending upwards from the stabilization base, and at least one arm. A proximal portion of the at least one arm is coupled to the column portion. Further, the patient stabilization system includes an adaptor coupled to a distal portion of the at least one arm. The adaptor is configured to couple to a patient fixation apparatus secured to an anatomical feature of a patient, and the patient stabilization system is configured to anchor the patient fixation apparatus to the surface in a secured state.
