Estimating the term…
A medical device support system including a shaft, an extension arm, and a free rotating ring. The shaft includes an elongated peripheral cavity that defines first and second contact faces at opposite peripheral ends. A hub of the extension arm is pivotably mounted for a range of at least 360 degrees rotation about a rotation axis of the shaft. The at least 360 degrees rotation range is based on a compound of a first rotation range and a second rotation range. The first rotation range is defined by a fixed stop of the hub configured to move between first and second contact faces of a radially outward protruding member of the free rotating ring. The second rotation range is defined by a radially inward protruding member of the free rotating ring configured to move between the first and second contact faces of the elongated peripheral cavity of the shaft.
A medical device support system, comprising:
A medical device support system, comprising:
A method of rotating an extension arm about a shaft of a medical device support system, the extension arm having a support for a medical device and a hub at its proximal end mounted to the shaft for pivotable movement about a rotation axis of the shaft, wherein a free rotating ring is rotatable about the rotation axis and is movable relative to the shaft and movable relative to the hub, and wherein the shaft includes at least one elongated peripheral cavity that defines first and second contact faces at opposite peripheral ends of the cavity, the method comprising:
