An imaging system gantry and patient drape includes a gantry first outer sidewall covering portion biased into a deployed shape and collapsible, a gantry inner wall covering portion extending inward of the gantry first outer sidewall covering portion, and a patient envelope portion. One or more retainers secure a portion of the drape to the gantry. In some versions, one or more drape portions rotate with the gantry and one or more other drape portions do not rotate with the gantry.

Imaging system gantry and patient drape

An imaging system drape includes leaves for easier deployment. A gantry first outer side wall covering portion includes a top leaf and one or more adjacent leaves on opposite sides of the top leaf. There is a stay for each leaf, a gantry inner wall covering portion extending from the gantry first outer side wall covering portion, and one or more drape portions attached to the gantry inner wall covering portion and securable to a gantry second outer side wall.

Drape for an imaging system gantry

An imaging system gantry patient channel drape includes a gantry first outer sidewall covering portion including an outer rim biased into a deployed (e.g., circular) shape and collapsible, and a gantry inner (e.g., circular) wall covering portion extending inward of the gantry first outer sidewall covering portion.

Featured is a drape for an imaging system base slidably supporting a gimbal and gantry. The preferred drape includes a sheet configured to extend from a first end of the base, between the gimbal and the gantry, and to a second end of the base, one or more sleeves associated with the sheet, and one or more stretchable members (e.g., elastic cords) slidably disposed in said one or more sleeves and stretchable from the first end of the base to the second end of the base.

Drape for an imaging system base and lower gimbal

A hip distractor includes a pair of distractor members and a support configured to be fastened to a surgical table. The support includes at least two mounts for coupling to a pair of joints that couple the distractor members to the support. Another hip distractor includes a pair of distractor assemblies that are configured to apply a distraction load to a patient. Each of the assemblies includes a joint for coupling the corresponding assembly to a surgical table. The joint permits vertical and horizontal angular adjustment of the corresponding assembly. A method of distracting a hip includes coupling a patient's legs to a pair of distractor assemblies and simultaneously adjusting a vertical angle and a horizontal angle of at least one of the distractor assemblies.

Hip distraction

An apparatus includes a distractor assembly adapted to couple to a leg and capable of providing a distraction load on the leg in both supine and lateral positions of the leg. The assembly is coupled to a surgical table by a ball joint or a universal joint. A method includes coupling a leg to a distractor assembly, positioning the leg in one of a distraction mode and a femoral acetabular impingement mode, and repositioning the leg in the other of the modes without the need for accessing a draped pelvis/thigh region.

A surgical table extension features a patient support structure, a large area base, and a support leg. A first joint having at least two degrees of freedom is located between the patient support structure and the support leg. A second joint also having at least two degrees of freedom is located between the base and the support leg. There is a stop limiting the range of motion of the support leg such that a portion of the base area is constrained to be below the first joint irrespective of the position of the base.

Surgical table extension

An accessory has a substantially radiolucent frame, a floor-supported base, and a support structure extending between the base and one end of the frame. A second end of the frame is coupleable to a surgical table in a manner that permits the frame to articulate relative to the surgical table. The support structure is extendable and retractable to change the height at which the first end of the frame is supported above the base. The support structures is able to tilt front to rear and side to side relative to the base and the frame is able to tilt front to rear and side to side relative to the support structure. The frame is movable to a compact storage position having the second end of the frame supported on the base. A set of wheels are provided on the base to permit the accessory to be wheeled from one location to another.
