ABSTRACT:
An autoclavable X-ray cassette holder removably receives and contains an X-ray cassette and maintains a patient's limb and/or extremities in a position on the holder relative to the X-ray cassette without requiring an attendant, thereby eliminating radiation exposure to the attendant. The holder has a thin rectangular hollow box-like main body formed of rigid radiolucent autoclavable material with an open end defining a central compartment surrounded by contiguous top and bottom walls, side walls, and an end wall. A plurality of slot-like depressions are formed along its side walls and end wall. An end cap removably snap fits on the main body open end to enclose the central compartment. A plurality of clip members are releasably engaged with respective pairs of the slot-like depressions at selective positions and receive and engage the free ends of resilient hold-down bands that extend across the patient's limb and/or limb extremities to resiliently maintain the limb or extremities in a position against the cassette holder relative to an X-ray cassette contained in the central compartment while obtaining intraoperative radiographs. The clips can also be engaged in slots in a support stand that supports the cassette holder in a vertical position.
