Abstract

A mobile surgical control console is provided and includes a base housing, a lower frame assembly, a plurality of vertical supports, a monitor, and an upper frame assembly. The lower frame assembly further includes a proximal end, a distal end and an opening defined therethrough which extends through the proximal end thereof. The lower frame assembly is coupled to the base housing. The plurality of vertical supports each have an inferior end and a superior end, and each vertical support is attached to the base housing. The monitor is attached to the superior end of each vertical support. The upper frame assembly includes an upper frame and a mobile section. The upper frame includes a proximal end, a distal end and an opening defined therethrough. The upper frame is supported on each vertical support. The mobile section is supported by the upper frame.

Claims (42)
