Aug 10, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/502290

Inventors:

Joel Matta - Toluca Lake CA, US
Stephen Hoel - Fremont CA, US
Steven Lamb - Diablo CA, US

International Classification:

A47B 7/00

US Classification:

005624000

Abstract:

A medical table provides the functionality needed for hip and knee arthroplasty at a cost that is acceptable for smaller patient care centers. Such a table can use a sliding mechanism to maintain traction during positioning of a patient's leg. The table also can utilize a knee arthroplasty attachment to provide for precise knee positioning, such as by using a sliding assembly attached to a spar of the table. The table can include a pair of actuators providing for both lateral tilt and trendelenburg motions, which reduces the complexity from previous tables. The table also can include a removable power/control module, which allows for quick and easy replacement of damaged components.

Appl. No.:

8/520961

Inventors:

Steven R. Lamb - Union City CA

Assignee:

Orthopedic System Inc. - Union City CA

International Classification:

A61G 1500
A61B 1900

US Classification:

128845

Abstract:

A patient head support for a shoulder surgery positioner having a headrest and a forehead band. The support includes a pad which is extendable over the chin of the patient. The pad possesses a soft outer surface. A pair of straps, each including first and second ends are connected to the pad at the first end thereof. Each of the straps also engage the headrest at the second end to adjustably hold the pad to the chin of the patient. A fastener is employed, such as a hook and pile arrangement. Such provision entails the fastener to include a member which extends along the pad and which is fixed relative to the pad to relieve tension of the pad. Thus, the pair of straps form adjustable closed loops relative to the pad.

Inventors:

Robert Moore - Hayward CA
Steven Lamb - Hayward CA

Assignee:

Orthopedic Systems, Inc. - Hayward CA

International Classification:

H61F 300

US Classification:

128 80C

Abstract:

A leg brace usable after knee ligament surgery utilizing first and second members which are held to the femoral and tibial portions of the leg. A hinge mechanism is also included in the brace for permitting pivotal rotation between the first and second members with the bending or flexion of the knee. A bar is extended across a selected portion of the leg. The bar is biased against the leg by a spring to prevent translation between the tibia and femoral for a particular angular range of extension of the knee portion of the leg.

International Classification:

A61G 1500

US Classification:

128845

Abstract:

A limb positioning apparatus utilizing a structural member having a compartment with an opening thereto. The structural member is supported at a predetermined position relative to the limb and at a certain distance from the limb. A first line is linked or attached to the limb and connected to a constant force spring located within the compartment of the structural member. A second line is attachable to the limb and is also connected to a constant force spring lying within the compartment of the structural member. The forces exerted by the first and second constant force springs are applied cumulatively or alternatively to provide a pre-determined tension force on the limb of the patient.
