ABSTRACT:
A suspension frame and clamp assembly for attaching surgical support apparatus onto an operating table is disclosed. The assembly includes a releasable clamp which allows the attachment part to be installed onto the side rail of an operating table or removed from the side rail at any intermediate side rail location. The suspension frame includes an elongated support tube or bar attached in such a manner that the support bar is offset laterally below the side rail and outside of the sterile field of the operating table. In a preferred embodiment, the suspension assembly includes parallel vertical struts which are rigidly attached at their lower ends to the horizontal support bar, and which are attached at their upper ends to a releasable clamp assembly. According to an alternate embodiment, the vertical support struts are releasably coupled to the horizontal support bar by a releasable box clamp. Transverse support struts provide additional stability.
