Abstract: Inflatable positioning equipment in the shape of an elongate roll for positioning a patient during a renal surgical procedure is provided. The positioning equipment includes: an inflatable covering which defines the external dimensions of the positioning equipment; a first air chamber system on the inside of the covering, which can be filled with air for inflating the covering; and a second air chamber system on the inside of the covering, which can be filled with air to inflate the covering. The second air chamber system is fluidically separated from the first air chamber system such that a leak in one air chamber system does not result in air loss in the other air chamber system.

Abstract: Inflatable positioning equipment (10) in the shape of an elongate roll for positioning a patient during renal surgical procedure, the positioning equipment being provided to be placed at an appropriate location on a surgical table, to serve as a support for a body part of a patient such that the renal area of the patient, is brought into a stretched position necessary for the renal surgical operation, wherein the positioning equipment comprises the following: an inflatable covering (12) which defines the external dimensions of the positioning equipment; and a first air chamber system (22) on the inside of the covering, which can be filled with air for inflating the covering (12); characterized in a second air chamber system (24) on the inside of the covering (12) which can be filled with air to inflate the covering (12), and in that the second air chamber system (24) is fluidically separated from the first air chamber system (22) such that a leak in one air chamber system does not result in air loss in

Abstract: A patient-supporting device is disclosed. The patient-supporting device includes a fastening assembly that fastens the patient-supporting device to a structural member, a support member configured to receive a body part of a patient, and a height adjustment assembly that adjusts a distance between the fastening assembly and the support member. The height adjustment assembly includes a locking assembly and an elongated member. The support member is attached to a first end portion of the elongated member. The locking assembly is stationary relative to the fastening assembly. The elongated member is guided in an aperture of the locking assembly in a longitudinal direction of the elongated member. A plurality of first snap-in recesses is disposed on a first side portion of the elongated member. The locking assembly includes a first locking member.

Abstract: A fastening device is disclosed. The fastening device has a housing having a receptacle that receives a coupler of an operating table device and a locking member connected to the housing and movable relative to the housing between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member retains the coupler in the receptacle in the locked position, and the locking member releases the coupler from the receptacle in the unlocked position. The fastening device also has a resilient member that urges the locking member toward the locked position, an actuation member that moves the locking member from the locked position to the unlocked position, and a ratchet assembly that maintains the locking member in the unlocked position.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a patient is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first structural member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion of the first structural member being attached to an operating table. The apparatus also includes a second structural member having a first end portion and a second end portion, the second end portion of the second structural member being attached to the operating table. The apparatus further includes a first connecting member that connects the first end of the first structural member to the first end of the second structural member, the first structural member being disposed at a predetermined distance from the second structural member. The apparatus also includes a first support member supported on the first structural member, the first support member configured to support a body part of the patient.
