Abstract
An Adjustable Extremity Suspension Apparatus for supporting patient limbs, the apparatus ambidextrous and adaptable to be mounted on various appliances in proximity a patient and configurable to accommodate specialized support and position needs. The Adjustable Extremity Suspension Apparatus comprising a longitudinally elongated tray-type frame that creates an elongated channel into which a longitudinally elongated elastic sheet drapes in order to form a flexible, saddle-like structure. Selectable materials, attachments and mounting provide user-configurable extremity support and ease o use.

An Adjustable Extremity Suspension Apparatus comprising:
- a longitudinally elongated frame comprising:
- two longitudinally elongated vertical opposing sides,
- two opposing open ends,
- an open top, and
- a bottom,
- wherein the two longitudinally elongated vertical opposing sides extend up from the bottom thus creating an elongated channel between the two longitudinally elongated vertical opposing sides and creating an exterior surface along the longitudinally elongated frame opposite the channel, and
- a longitudinally elongated elastic sheet comprising a perimeter and a plurality of paired adjustable length attachment mechanisms disposed along the perimeter,
- wherein the longitudinally elongated elastic sheet is shaped to drape over the open top and adjacent to the exterior surface of the elongated frame, and wherein the paired adjustable length attachment mechanisms attach to secure the elongated elastic sheet around the longitudinally elongated frame.
An Adjustable Extremity Suspension Apparatus comprising:
- two longitudinally elongated frames, each frame comprising:
- two longitudinally elongated vertical opposing sides,
- two opposing open ends,
- an open top, and
- a bottom,
- wherein the two longitudinally elongated vertical opposing sides of each frame extend up from the bottoms of each frame thus creating respective elongated channels between the two longitudinally elongated vertical opposing sides and creating respective exterior surfaces along the longitudinally elongated frames opposite the channels, and
- wherein the two longitudinally elongated frames are hingeably attached end to end along the bottom of each longitudinally elongated frame thereby allowing the elongated frames to pivot to a desired angle, and
- a longitudinally elongated elastic sheet comprising a perimeter and a plurality of paired adjustable length attachment mechanisms disposed along the perimeter,
- wherein the longitudinally elongated elastic sheet is shaped to drape over the open tops of each of the two hingeably attached longitudinally elongated frames and adjacent to the exterior surfaces of each of the two hingeably attached longitudinally elongated frames, and wherein the paired adjustable length attachment mechanisms are attached to secure the elongated elastic sheet around each of the hingeably attached longitudinally elongated frames.
