ABSTRACT:
A tray for attachment to the edge of an operating table which provides horizontal support form the arm, wrist and hand, or leg of a patient during surgical operations on those parts of the body. The tray comprises a perimetric rectangular metal frame having a pair of spaced-apart, downward-facing, L-shaped projections on each side. Any side of the frame may be secured to the side rail of a typical operating table by securing any of the projection pairs to the side rail on either side of a typical operating table with the common screw-type clamps which may be anchored at any point along the rail. A rigid rectangular sheet of material transparent to both X-rays and visible light spans the gap between the two longitudinal frame sections, a gap being left at either end between the lateral edges of the sheet and each lateral frame section. Traction pulley mounting arm and adjustable support leg assemblies or adjustable support leg assemblies may be mounted on either or both lateral frame sections, which are of circular cross-section. The sheet of transparent material has a lateral slot near one end. An elbow post may be slideably mounted at its base within the slot.
