Systems and methods for maintaining patient position

A system for releasably maintaining a position of a patient on a surgical table, comprising:

• a flexible cuff body adjustable from a first orientation to a curled orientation to wrap around and engage a bodily limb and in a stationary position relative to a surgical table, the flexible cuff body including:
• a series of links extending in a longitudinal direction in which each link in the series of links has a lateral link width that is greater than a longitudinal link length and is pivotable relative to an adjacent link in the series of links about a lateral axis of a respective pivot joint, and a padded sleeve having an interior pocket opening at a first end and a closed end opposite from first end so that a free end of the series of links is slidably insertable through the interior pocket opening for enclosure within the closed end of the padded sleeve;
• and
• a handle body configured to releasably clamp onto the surgical table and being connected to the flexible cuff body such that the series of links of flexible cuff body extends away from the handle body, the handle body including a handle movable between an unlocked position in which each link in the series of links is pivotable about the lateral axis of the respective pivot joint and a locked position in which each link in the series of links are mechanically restrained from about the lateral axis of the respective pivot joint.
