Abstract: A foot support and abduction assembly includes an abductor configured for pivotal attachment proximate a foot end of a maternity bed. The foot support is configured for locating in a stowed position below the abductor, and a calf support is attached to an undersurface of the foot support. An upright assembly has a first end that is secured to the abductor for longitudinal movement along a length of the abductor, a second end to which the foot support is movably mounted, and a locking mechanism for selectively securing the upright assembly in one of a plurality of positions along the length of the abductor. The upright assembly is further configured for movement from a deployed position to a stowed position, and the locking mechanism is unlocked when the upright assembly is in the stowed position.

Abstract: The spinal cage comprises a structural component having sufficient strength to withstand the compressive loading between vertebral bodies. The structural component is integrated with an osteoconductive component to facilitate bone growth between the vertebral bodies. The structural component may comprise any of PEEK, PEKK, or other structural material. The osteoconductive component may comprise any of allograft, natural bone, tricalcium phosphate, hydroxyapatite or a blend of calcium carbonate, calcium lactate and other calcium salts. A method for making the spinal cage involves molding polymers around an osteoconductive component, heat staking, and may further include ultrasonically welding, snap fit or mechanically assembling and/or adhesively bonding components.
