Abstract
An assembly for maintaining the leg of a patient lying on a table at an elevated position thereabove to facilitate examination or treatment of the leg. The assembly is constituted by a stand having a hooked head at a height well above the table surface, and a sling formed by a loosely woven, open mesh net in a hammock-like formation, the ends of the sling having extensions terminating in rings or other couplers which are attachable to the hooked head of the stand. When the heel of the patient's foot is nested in the hammock, the net conforms to the contours of the foot to securely hold the leg in a raised position without masking the foot, whereby an antiseptic solution may be applied to the foot surface through the interstices of the net.
