Abstract
A lateral patient positioning system may include a pelvic bolster assembly and a thoracic bolster assembly. Each of the assemblies may be attached to a conventional surgical table frame by the surgical table frame’s longitudinal rails. A plurality of adjustment mechanisms and components are provided to allow for easy and safe manipulation of a patient before and during surgery, including sagittal and/or coronal adjustment of a patient in a lateral position.
Claims20
A patient positioning system, comprising:
- a thoracic bolster assembly comprising a frame, a base, and an upper portion, the frame comprising a first rail coupler on a first anterior side and a second rail coupler on an opposing posterior side, the first and second rail couplers slidably mountable on opposing rails of a surgical bed frame allowing the thoracic bolster assembly to be adjusted longitudinally along the opposing rails of the surgical bed frame;
- a pelvic bolster assembly comprising a frame, a base, and an upper portion, the frame comprising a first rail coupler on a first anterior side and a second rail coupler on an opposing posterior side, the first and second rail couplers slidably mountable on opposing rails of a surgical bed frame allowing the pelvic bolster assembly to be adjusted longitudinally along the opposing rails of the surgical bed frame;
- wherein at least one of the thoracic bolster assembly and the pelvic bolster assembly includes:
- an angular adjustment mechanism connecting the base to the frame to adjust the base in a coronal plane;
- and
- the upper portion coupled to the base and adjustable in a posterior and/or anterior direction relative to the base.
