The present invention provides a uniquely position adjustable ophthalmic instrument support table for use in conjunction with an examining chair and a lighting system which allows the user to program the desired room lighting independently for each of several inputs such as instrument switches, examination lights or other electrical devices used during an ophthalmic examination. The ophthalmic instrument support table includes a base unit and a table top mounted to the base unit by support structure operates with an infrared control to allow four degrees of freedom to adjust the location of the table top with respect to both the patient seated in the chair and the doctor examining the patient on the opposite side of the table. The lighting control system allows one or two circuits of room lights to be adjusted in intensity and to have this adjustment automatically recalled to set the programmed room lighting condition upon activation of the input.

Ophthalmic instrument support and lighting system

The present invention provides a uniquely position adjustable ophthalmic instrument support table for use in conjunction with an examining chair and a lighting system which allows the user to program the desired room lighting independently for each of several inputs such as instrument switches, examination lights or other electrical devices used during an ophthalmic examination. The ophthalmic instrument support table includes a base unit and a table top mounted to the base unit by support structure allowing four degrees of freedom to adjust the location of the table top with respect to both the patient seated in the chair and the doctor examining the patient on the opposite side of the table. The lighting control system allows one or two circuits of room lights to be adjusted in intensity and to have this adjustment automatically recalled to set the programmed room lighting condition upon activation of the input.

A medical instrument positioner including a lever arm pivotally secured at a first end to a stationary base, which is preferably the base of a patient support such as an examination chair, and including a pole extending upwardly from a second end as well as a lockable caster secured to the second end for providing rolling but selectively lockable support of the positioner with respect to the base. The patient support provides a heavy, stable object for counteracting the moment created by, for example, a microscope and microscope mounting arm attached to the upper end of the vertical pole. The microscope mounting arm preferably takes the form of a linkage assembly secured to the upper end of the pole. The microscope mounting arm receives the microscope for allowing precise adjustment of the microscope orientation with respect to the patient.

Medical instrument positioner and patient support apparatus

A medical treatment cabinet having a top work surface and a supply stand extending upwardly from the rear of the top surface. The top drawer of the cabinet has a control panel on its from face for operating various electric examination and treatment equipment. The control panel includes connectors and controls for operating fiber optic instruments and the top drawer contains the control box for the fiber optic instruments and the cabinet power box. One or more electric heating units are mounted above a second drawer for warming instruments contained in the drawer. A lower compartment houses a pneumatic pressure pump and a pneumatic vacuum pump for applying positive pressure and vacuum pressure to the patient during treatment. A vacuum collection container is pivotally mounted within the lower compartment such that it may be pivoted out of the compartment to be easily removed and replaced with a sterile container. The vacuum hose used in treating the patient is removably attached to the outside of the cabinet such that it may also be easily removed and replaced with a sterile hose.
