Telescoping surgical support and retractor system

摘要

The surgical support system may include a primary telescoping support, secondary telescoping support supported from the primary telescoping support and configured for telescopically mounting a surgical tool thereto, such that telescoping of the primary support repositions the secondary telescoping support; and a positioning joint disposed between the primary and secondary telescoping supports for universally positioning and locking the secondary telescoping support with respecting to the primary telescoping support.

1. A surgical support system, comprising:
a primary telescoping support that is linearly adjustable and includes a primary locking mechanism; a secondary telescoping support that is linearly adjustable and includes a secondary locking mechanism and supported from the primary telescopic support and configured for telescopically mounting a surgical tool thereto, such that telescoping of the primary support repositions the secondary telescoping support; a positioning joint disposed between the primary and secondary telescoping supports for universally positioning and locking the secondary telescoping support with respect to the primary telescoping support by locking the positioning joint; and further comprising a base member including a rail clamp configured for securing the surgical support system selectively along a surgical table guide rail, wherein adjustment of the primary or secondary telescoping support allows movement in one direction without disengaging the primary or secondary locking mechanisms respectively but resists movement in the opposite direction until at least one of the primary or secondary locking mechanisms are disengaged, wherein at least one of the telescoping supports are adjusted by directly pulling on the at least one of the telescoping supports towards the rail clamp without disengaging the primary or secondary locking mechanism.
