Abstract: A surgical assembly (20) comprises a post (100) having a longitudinally extending axis (104), a support (56) for resisting movement of the post in a negative longitudinal direction, and a platform (70) offset from the support in a positive longitudinal direction. The platform includes an opening (82) through which the post projects. The opening includes a throat (86). The post has a first dimension which renders the post incapable of passing through the throat and a second dimension which renders the post capable of passing through the throat. Alternate embodiments in which the post can be removably engaged with the support and platform and disengaged therefrom without translating the post in the longitudinal direction are also disclosed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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 suppport units may be reversed. A related patient support system includes a baseline set of support tops and a set of alternate support tops.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a patient support device includes a patient support top, a support bracket, and a catch assembly that is slidably attached to the support bracket and that is operable to receive a connector of the patient support top.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An accessory flat-top panel for use with a surgical table includes a board adapted to support a patient, a left attachment pylon coupled to the board, and a right attachment pylon coupled to the board. The left and right attachment pylons are each formed to include channels sized to receive a rail included in a surgical table. The width of the board between a left side and a right side of the board is greater than the width of a pair of rails included in a surgical table to support portions of a patient wider than pair of rails included in the support top.

Abstract: 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. The 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.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a patient support system includes patient support tops for accommodating various body positions of a patient occupying the patient support tops. The patient support system may include various features to accommodate patient body positioning to facilitate surgical access.

Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a surgical patient support provides support to a patient. The surgical patient support may include configuration to accommodate various patient body positions to provide a variety of access to the patient's body.

Abstract: A person support apparatus can be adjusted to support a person in a number of different positions, including a laying-down position, a seated position, and positions intermediate the laying-down and seated positions. One or more sensors, which may be carried by, worn by or attached to the person, the person support apparatus, or another device, can be used to detect physiological responses of the person. A computing device, such as a bed controller, can generate an indication of the person's state based on one or more of the sensor inputs. The computing device can, based on the patient sate indication, cause an adjustment to the position or configuration of the person support apparatus to occur.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus for spine surgery includes first and second lift columns. A patient support frame extends between the first and second lift columns. The patient support frame has a first section to support a torso of a patient and a beam that extends from the first section. The beam is coupled to a foot end region of the first section about midway between opposite sides of the first section. A first set of leg supports are located adjacent a first side of the beam and a second set of leg supports are located adjacent a second side of the beam. The first and second sets of leg supports are independently movable relative to the beam and relative to the first section to support the legs of the patient in a plurality of positions.
