    摘要: An improved active head/shoulder and neck positioning device for positioning a patient undergoing endotracheal intubation, including: (1) a horseshoe-shaped torso support bladder adapted to be positioned underneath the torso of a patient that provides added stability, (2) a head support bladder affixed to a top surface of the torso support bladder, (3) at least one source of compressed air, and (4) a combined joystick/controller for selectively conducting pressurized air from the source to the torso support bladder and the head support bladder. The torso support bladder expands as it is inflated and it can be vented to an atmosphere for deflation. The head support bladder is positioned for placement beneath the patient's head, and it is operative to elevate the patient's head as the head support bladder is inflated and the headrest thereby expands. The at least one source of compressed air is in fluid communication with the torso support bladder and the head support bladder. The combined joystick/controller can be used to achieve optimal anatomical alignment of the patient's larynx for intubation.

    摘要: A modular surgical patient positioner unit apparatus, system and method for adjustably positioning human joints such as knees for surgical operating procedures having a base plate to support moveably a transformable carriage that can be releasably locked in position and which adjustably supports a boot or other limb holder which can be releasably locked in position by the carriage. The base plate also is configured with a side bar located at a mid-portion of the base plate to secure to an arc clamp configured to secure the positioning system to a side rail of an operating table in a medical procedure on the left or right side of the body. An extension unit also is provided and configured to secure to a lower surface of the base plate to extend the base plate of the system, as needed, for larger limbs of patients, which extension unit is configured with a stud and post locking portions for securing to the base plate and for positioning in a medical procedure on either side of the body.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for facilitating or enhancing a person's breathing. The method provides for supporting the person's shoulders and elevating the person's spine, so as to enable the person's body weight to be distributed in the person's shoulders, expanding the person's chest cavity to enhance oxygen intake. The apparatus is especially adapted to perform the functions of the method.

    摘要: A formed therapeutic tool has a base in a generally heart-shaped configuration with a narrow arcuate front, a wide rear, tapering sides, and a concave bottom. A rearward support is formed of two similarly configured projections. The projections are laterally spaced. Each projection has a linear high point and a semicircular surface. The tool has a forward support formed of two similarly configured inclines. Each incline has an arcuate high point adjacent to one of the projections and an arcuate low point adjacent to the front. A ovoid shaped central recess extends downwardly between the inclines and the projections. The central recess terminates in an ovoid shaped floor with a lower surface constituting a portion of the concave bottom of the base. The tool having a Durometer of from 36 to 45 on a Shore A scale and an Indentation Force Deflection of from 8 to 9.

    摘要: The invention provides methods and devices for maintaining a patient in a position in which the patient's torso can be moved during surgery, for example by which the sternum can be closed after open chest surgery. The device comprises two contact members for contacting a respective scapula and support means for maintaining the contact members in a grip position in which, in use, each contact member imparts a force on the respective scapula to close the patient's sternum.
