Adapter plane for surgical table, in particular for hip replacement surgery with anterior approach
Adapter plane ( 1 ′) for surgical table, comprising a main portion ( 2 ′) and a secondary portion ( 3 ′) which define—at the top part—a surface ( 4 ′) for supporting the patient, said secondary portion ( 3 ′) being arranged for supporting at least one pelvis portion of the patient, said adapter plane ( 1 ′) being rigidly couplable above said surgical table with the main portion ( 2 ′) overlapping the surgical table and the secondary portion ( 3 ′) projecting with respect to the surgical table, at least the secondary portion ( 3 ′) of said adapter plane ( 1 ′) being made of radiotransparent material.
1. An adapter plane for a surgical table and for supporting a patient, the adapter plane comprising:
a distal support portion; and
a proximal support portion extending from and being coupled to said distal support portion and being adjacent a device for positioning a lower limb of the patient;
said distal support portion to be placed over said surgical table;
said proximal support portion to support at least a pelvis of the patient;
said distal support portion to support a back of the patient, the proximal support portion extending outwardly from the surgical table;
said proximal support portion comprising radio frequency (RF) transparent material;
said proximal support portion having a proximal end, and first and second opposing sides converging at said proximal end, said proximal end being aligned with a longitudinal axis of said adapter plane;
said proximal end to be coupled to the device for positioning the lower limb of the patient and comprising
a first appendix arm extending from and transverse to said proximal support portion and configured to rotate,
a hinge extending from said first appendix arm and to be coupled to a member for coupling the device for positioning the lower limb of the patient, and
a second appendix arm extending from and transverse to said proximal support portion and for coupling to a thigh hoisting device, the second appendix arm being cone-shaped.
2. The adapter plane according to claim 1 , wherein said distal support portion and said proximal support portion are both made of RF transparent material.
3. The adapter plane according to claim 1 , wherein said RF transparent material comprises is carbon fiber.
4. The adapter plane according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second opposing sides have a cant between 45° and 75° with respect to the longitudinal axis of said adapter plane.
5. The adapter plane according to claim 1 , further comprising a perineal support elevating adjacent said proximal end.
6. The adapter plane according to claim 1 , wherein the member comprises a proximal portion of the device for positioning the lower limb of the patient, hinged below the proximal portion of the surgical table and connectable through a linear joint to a distal portion of the device for positioning the lower limb of the patient.
7. The adapter plane according to claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of belts configured to allow coupling to the surgical table.
8. The adapter plane according to claim 1 , wherein the thigh hoisting device is at the proximal portion.
9. A surgical table comprising;
a base plane; and
an adapter plane coupled to said base plane for supporting a patient, said adapter plane comprising
a distal support portion; and
a proximal support portion extending from and being coupled to said distal support portion and being adjacent a device for positioning a lower limb of the patient;
said distal support portion to be placed over said base plane;
said proximal support portion to support at least a pelvis of the patient;
said distal support portion to support a back of the patient, the proximal support portion extending outwardly from said base plane;
said proximal support portion comprising radio frequency (RF) transparent material;
said proximal support portion having a proximal end, and first and second opposing sides converging at said proximal end, said proximal end being aligned with a longitudinal axis of said adapter plane;
said proximal end to be coupled to the device for positioning the lower limb of the patient and comprising
a first appendix arm extending from and transverse to said proximal support portion and configured to rotate,
a hinge extending from said first appendix arm and to be coupled to a member for coupling the device for positioning the lower limb of the patient, and
a second appendix arm extending from and transverse to said proximal support portion and for coupling to a thigh hoisting device, the second appendix arm being cone-shaped.
10. The surgical table according to claim 9 , wherein said distal support portion and said proximal support portion are both made of RF transparent material.
11. The surgical table according to claim 9 , wherein said RF transparent material comprises carbon fiber.
12. The surgical table according to claim 9 , wherein said first and second opposing sides have a cant between 45° and 75° with respect to the longitudinal axis of said adapter plane.
13. The surgical table according to claim 9 , wherein said adapter plane further comprises a perineal support elevating adjacent said proximal end.
14. The surgical table according to claim 9 , wherein said adapter plane further comprises a plurality of belts configured to allow coupling to the surgical table.
