Surgical table with movement capabilities of lower body support structures

A surgical table for prone and lateral positioning of a patient, the table comprising:

• a base supported on the floor and comprising a head end support structure, a foot end support structure opposite the head end support structure and a rail connecting the head and foot end support structures, the end support structures extending parallel with respect to each other and having a vertical plane extending therebetween;
• and
• a patient support structure extending between the head and foot end and being located laterally to at least one side of the vertical plane and supported therebetween by the head and foot end support structure, the patient support structure comprising a chest pad and a lower body support structure comprising a lower body translation and angulation structure and at least one pelvic pad supported thereon, the at least one pelvic pad coupled with the lower body translation and angulation structure via a mechanism configured to angulate the at least one pelvic pad about a rotation axis that is generally perpendicular to the vertical plane, wherein, when the patient support structure changes from a first position to a more angulated position, the lower body translation and angulation structure is configured to translate the at least one pelvic pad towards the chest pad, and angulate the at least one pelvic pad about the rotation axis,
• wherein the lower body translation and angulation structure is translatably supported on the patient support structure, and
• wherein the at least one pelvic pad can be translated away from the patient positioned thereon, at least when the patient is positioned on the surgical table in a lateral position.

A surgical table comprising:

• a base comprising a rail extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite first and second ends, the base comprising a first column coupled to the first end and a second column coupled to the second end;
• a frame comprising a first end coupled to the first column and a second end coupled to the second column;
• a tray coupled to the first end of the frame;
• a chest pad coupled to the tray;
• a support assembly coupled to the second end of the frame;
• and
• a pelvic pad coupled to the support assembly.

A surgical table comprising:

• a base comprising a rail extending along a longitudinal axis between opposite first and second ends, the base comprising a first column coupled to the first end and a second column coupled to the second end;
• a frame comprising a first end coupled to the first column and a second end coupled to the second column;
• a tray coupled to the first end of the frame;
• a chest pad coupled to the tray;
• a support assembly coupled to the second end of the frame;
• and
• a pair of spaced apart pelvic pads coupled to the support assembly,
• wherein the tray is coupled to the first end of the frame by a first shaft, the first shaft being fixed relative to the tray and rotatable relative to the first column to rotate the tray about the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the support assembly is coupled to the second end of the frame by a second shaft, the second shaft being fixed relative to the support assembly and rotatable relative to the second column to rotate the support assembly about the longitudinal axis,
• wherein the first end of the frame includes a first pair of rails, the tray being coupled to the first pair of rails, the first pair of rails being configured to be extended relative to the first column to decrease a distance between the chest pad and the pelvic pads and to be retracted relative to the first column to increase the distance between the chest pad and the pelvic pads,
• wherein the second end of the frame includes a second pair of rails, the support assembly being slidable relative to the second pair of rails to increase and decrease the distance between the chest pad and the pelvic pads,
• wherein the first shaft is pivotable relative to the first column about a first pivot axis that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to pivot the tray relative to the first column about the first pivot axis, and
• wherein the second shaft is pivotable relative to the second column about a second pivot axis that extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis to pivot the support assembly relative to the second column about the second pivot axis.
