ABSTRACT:
A rectangular top post slides into an operating table post base opening just large enough to receive it. Rulon (TM) rods are inserted in slots around the opening. The rods are secured permanently in the slots and the rods protrude into the opening evenly at six points spaced around the opening. The Rulon (TM) rods provide a tight-fitting restraint on the bar, but because of the slidability along the surface of the rods, the post may be moved manually up or down with a minor effort. The tight sliding fit maintains the post rigidly in place without moving up or down or twisting once the bar is in a set position. Motion is only possible in a vertical direction. A casing attached to the top of the top post houses a rack and pinion drive with a rack arm extending out over a patient. Surgical apparatus, such as retractors, are attached to the rack arm.
