A radiolucent surgical table () is provided with a low shadow accessory interface profile (). The interface profile includes a plurality of interconnected curved surfaces formed along the entire outer edge of the patient support member for selective attachment to a range of medical accessory devices. The support interface includes a non-planar first connection area () having a recess () and a curved lip area () adapted to engage correspondingly formed surfaces () on a medical accessory connector (). A second connection area () of the support interface () includes a planar locating surface () formed at an angle oblique with the top surface () of the patient support member. Engagement with the locating surface by corresponding surfaces formed on the medical accessory connectors () generate a downward force that causes an increase in the engagement forces between the recess and lip areas of the interface and corresponding surfaces on the accessory connectors.

A radiolucent surgical table is provided with a patient support member and includes a low shadow accessory interface profile formed by a plurality of interconnected curved surfaces disposed along the outer edge of the patient support member for selective attachment of a range of medical accessory devices. A clamping apparatus secures associated accessories to the outer edge, which has a top recess and an essentially planar and non-vertical side surface slanting inwardly from top to bottom and terminating in a flared lower edge extending beyond the bottom of the patient support member. The clamping apparatus includes an upper jaw member which has a downwardly projecting lip formed to conformably engage a section of the top recess. A lower jaw member is also included and has a hook region formed to surroundingly engage a section of the flared lower edge. The upper and lower jaw members are joined.

A combined fuse holder and shunt has a shunt integrated into a one-piece assembly between a fuse holder and a circuit connector. The housing for the connectors is made in two halves that are heat staked together after the connectors are inserted therein. Slots and ribs in the housing retain the connectors therein without requiring supplemental fasteners.

A power distribution backplane includes a pair of metal panels bonded to opposite sides of a dielectric spacer. One panel is for power and the other for ground, and each is painted a different color. Connectors are provided on each panel in connector areas, with some connectors being accessible from both sides of each panel, and busbars extend out from one end of each panel.

A surgical task light is provided including a light source adapted to generate light. An elongate optical fiber carries the light generated by the light source to a remote target site. The optical fiber includes a proximal end for receiving the light generated by the light source and a distal end for emitting the light. A support member supports the optical fiber relative to the ceiling of an associated operating room and holds the optical fiber in a plurality of selected positions. A lens device is carried on the distal end of the optical fiber for focusing the light emitted from the distal end of the optical fiber into a desired selected pattern. A sterile sheath member in combination with the surgical task light provides a sterile barrier between the surgical area and the mechanical and optical portions of the task light. A re-lamping module includes a replaceable light bulb module carrying a light bulb to help facilitate replacement of the light bulb by maintenance personnel. A cooling system cools the light bulb and defines an air duct for directing an air flow through heat dissipating members. The air duct is separated from the optical light path between the light bulb and the elongate optical fiber to prevent the air flow from entering the light path to prevent dust and other contaminants from reducing the optical efficiency of the system.

A telecommunications power distribution circuit board carries a fuse holder for a plurality of GMT fuses through which power is supplied to connectors on a terminal block. Power is supplied to the fuses through a distribution circuit on the board by way of bullet connectors that are attached to the circuit board and plug into holes in a power supply bus bar.
