Articulating medical stand

A method of making an articulated medical stand, comprising:

• A. providing a lower horizontal support member comprising a top side and a bottom side;
• B. providing a vertical support member comprising a lower end, an upper end, and a longitudinal axis, wherein the vertical support member is capable of vertical length adjustment along the longitudinal axis, and wherein the vertical support member further comprises a housing member disposed at the upper end;
• C. providing an upper horizontal support member comprising a first end, a second end, a longitudinal axis and a longitudinal length, wherein the horizontal support member is capable of axial rotational adjustment about the longitudinal axis;
• D. providing a tray mounting member comprising a housing support element, an adjustable connector element, and a tray receiving element;
• E. providing an adhesive medical tray member comprising a top side and a bottom side, wherein the top side of the adhesive medical tray member comprises an adhesive component capable of releasably attaching medical items;
• F. attaching the lower end of the vertical support member to the top side of the lower horizontal support member;
• G. disposing the first end of the upper horizontal support member through the housing member at the upper end of the vertical support member such that the upper horizontal support member is axially rotatable therein;
• H. slideably attaching the housing support element of the tray mounting member to the upper horizontal support member;
• and
• I. removably attaching the adhesive medical tray member to the tray receiving element of the tray mounting member;
• wherein the tray mounting member is capable of longitudinal adjustment along the longitudinal length of the upper horizontal support member;
• wherein the tray mounting member can rotate with the upper horizontal support member;
• and
• wherein the tray mounting member is capable of angular adjustment with respect to the upper horizontal support member.

A method for using an articulating medical stand comprising:

• A. Providing an articulating medical stand comprising a lower horizontal support member having a top side and a bottom side, a vertical support comprising a lower end, an upper end and a longitudinal axis wherein the lower end is attached to the top side of the lower horizontal support member and further comprising a housing member disposed at the upper end thereof, an upper horizontal support member comprising a first end, a second end, a longitudinal axis and a longitudinal length wherein the first end is rotatably disposed through the housing member at the upper end of the vertical support member, and a tray mounting member comprising a housing support element, an adjustable connector element, and a tray receiving element wherein the housing support element is slideably connected to the upper horizontal support member;
• B. providing an adhesive medical tray member comprising a tray component having a top side and a bottom side, and further comprising an adhesive component disposed upon the top side thereof;
• C. attaching the adhesive medical tray member to the tray receiving element of the tray mounting member to form the articulating medical stand;
• D. disposing medical items upon the top side of the adhesive medical tray member to form releasably attached medical items;
• E. multi-directionally adjusting the articulating medical stand such that the attached medical items are located at a desired location with respect to the user;
• and
• F. detaching a medical item from the adhesive medical tray member of the articulating medical stand for use;
• wherein the vertical support member is capable of vertical adjustment along its longitudinal axis;
• wherein the upper horizontal support member is capable of axial rotational adjustment about its longitudinal axis;
• wherein the tray mounting member is capable of linear adjustment along the longitudinal length of the upper horizontal support member;
• wherein the tray mounting member is capable of rotational adjustment via the upper horizontal support member, and
• wherein the tray mounting member is capable of angular adjustment with respect to the upper horizontal support member.
