Abstract
An apparatus has segments connected end-to-end so as to form a flexible tube, a base connected to a first segment of the segments, a clamp connected to the base for mounting the base, and a tensioning mechanism for tensioning the segments. A scope adapter can be connected to a last segment of the plurality of segments. An extremity adapter can be connected to a last segment of the plurality of segments. The clamp can mount the base to a mayo stand of a multi-purpose gurney. The clamp can also mount the base to a rail of a multi-purpose gurney.
Claims13
An apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of segments connected end-to-end so as to form a flexible tube, each of said plurality of segments comprising:
- a cylindrical portion having a hollow interior and a top and a bottom;
- and
- a rounded member having a hollow interior and a top and a bottom, said bottom of said rounded member being attached to said top of said cylindrical portion, said hollow interiors of said rounded member and said cylindrical portion forming a continuous cylindrical channel;
- a base connected the bottom of the rounded member of a first segment of said plurality of segments;
- a clamping means connected to said base, said clamping means for mounting said base to an exterior surface;
- and
- a tensioning means for tensioning said plurality of segments into a desired shape, said tensioning means being connected to said base, said tensioning means comprising:
- a line extending through said plurality of segments, and
- a lever interconnected to said line, said lever pivotally connected to said base, said lever being movable so as to selectively tension said line.
An apparatus for use with a multi-purpose gurney comprising:
- a mayo stand suitable for attachment to the multi-purpose gurney;
- a plurality of segments connected end-to-end so as to form a flexible tube;
- a base connected to a first segment of said plurality of segments;
- and
- a clamping means connected to said mayo stand and to said base, said clamping means for mounting said base to said mayo stand, said clamping means comprising:
- a first jaw affixed to a side of said base;
- a screw extending through said first jaw;
- and
- a second jaw positioned on an end of said screw, said first jaw positioned adjacent a bottom of said mayo stand, said second jaw positioned adjacent a top of said may stand.
An apparatus comprising:
- a multi-purpose gurney;
- a rail attached to said multi-purpose gurney;
- a plurality of segments connected end-to-end so as to form a flexible tube, each of said plurality of segments comprising:
- a cylindrical portion having a hollow interior and a top and a bottom;
- and
- a rounded member having a hollow interior and a top and a bottom, said bottom of said rounded member being attached to said top of said cylindrical portion, said hollow interiors of said rounded member and said cylindrical portion forming a continuous cylindrical channel;
- a base connected to a first segment of said plurality of segments;
- a clamping means connected to said rail and to said base, said clamping means for mounting said base to said rail;
- a tensioning means for tensioning said plurality of segments, said tensioning means comprising:
- a wire extending through said plurality of segments;
- and
- a lever interconnected to said wire, said lever pivotally connected to said base.
