ABSTRACT:
A siderail socket or clamp for mounting a support rod of a surgical accessory on the siderail of a medical table comprises a frame defining first and second channels for receiving the siderail and the support rod, respectively; a first actuator for actuating the support rod along a path of travel transverse to an extension of the second channel and a second actuator extending into the first channel. The second actuator is moveable transversely to the path of travel in response to actuation of the support rod along the path of travel for actuating the siderail transversely to an extension of the first channel. The movement of the second actuator transversely to the path of travel of the support rod in the second channel permits the siderail socket to grip the siderail across two perpendicular dimensions, thereby reducing the "play" of the socket relative to the siderail.
