  • Publication number: 20250339116
    Abstract: Various implementations include a fluoroscopic mobile device for use with a patient disposed on a support apparatus. The device includes a base, a support arm, an x-ray tube, and an image intensifier. The support arm extends from the base, the support arm comprising a first arm portion and a second arm portion. Each of the first arm portion and the second arm portion has a proximal end proximal to the base and a distal end opposite the proximal end. The x-ray tube is coupled to the distal end of the first arm portion. The image intensifier is coupled to the distal end of the second arm portion. The x-ray tube is configured to be disposed above the patient relative to a gravitational direction when the system is in use. The image intensifier is configured to be disposed between the patient and the support apparatus when the system is in use.

  • Publication number: 20140018778
    Abstract: An external fixation system for percutaneous drainage procedures may include a base. The base may include a first side. The first side may be positioned adjacent an exterior surface of a subject during use. The base may include a first coupler coupled to the first side of the base. The base may include a second side opposite the first side. The base may include an opening extending through the first coupler and the base such that the first coupler is in fluid communication with the second side of the base. The first coupler may be couplable to a conduit during use such that the conduit is in fluid communication with the second side of the base. In some embodiments, the second side of the base may include a second coupler configured to facilitate the attachment of a drainage bag or a mechanism to flush or evacuate a drainage catheter during use.
