Abstract
Some systems, devices and methods detailed herein provide adjustable restraint device maintaining a selected position of a person relative to a support structure, for example, to maintain a safe and customizable patient position during a surgical procedure or during medical transport.
Claims20
A flexible cuff system for releasably maintaining a position of a patient, comprising:
- a flexible cuff body adjustable from a first orientation to a customized orientation to retain a limb in a selected position relative to a medical support substrate;
- and
- a handle body connected to a base portion of the flexible cuff body, the handle body including a handle that is movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and the handle body defining a mating interface surface that to slidably engage the medical support substrate;
- wherein, responsive to the handle being moved to the unlocked position, the flexible cuff body is adjustable from the first orientation to the customized orientation to extend around the limb, and
- wherein, responsive to the handle being moved to the locked position while the flexible cuff body is in the customized orientation, the flexible cuff body is locked in the customized orientation to retain the limb in the selected position relative to the medical support substrate.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a surgical table including one or more rails that extend along one or more sides of the surgical table;
- a plurality of adjustable limb restraints releasably lockable at selectable positions along the one or more rails of the surgical table, each of the adjustable limb restraints including:
- a flexible cuff body adjustable from a first orientation to a customized orientation to retain a limb in a customized position relative to the surgical table;
- and
- a handle body connected to a base of the flexible cuff body and including a handle movable between a locked position and an unlocked position, and the handle body defining a mating interface surface to slidably engage at least one of the one or more rails;
- wherein, responsive to the handle being moved to the unlocked position, the flexible cuff body is adjustable from the first orientation to the customized orientation to extend around the limb;
- and
- wherein, responsive to the handle being moved to the locked position while the flexible cuff body is in the customized orientation, the flexible cuff body is locked in the customized orientation to retain the limb in the selected position relative to the surgical table.
