Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung zur Halterung von Zubehörteilen an einer Patientenlagerfläche eines Operations- oder Untersuchungstisches gemäß del ersteb Teil des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to an arrangement for holding accessories on a patient support surface of a surgical or examination table according del first part of claim 1.

Herkömmliche Operationstische haben entlang den Längsrändern der jeweiligen Operationstischfläche oder Patientenlagerfläche Gleitschienen, an denen mit Hilfe von Spannkloben verschiedene Zubehörteile angebracht werden können. Solche Zubehörteile sind beispielsweise Stützen für die Armlagerung, ein Narkosebogen für die Halterung von Gerätschaften für die Narkose, Körpergurte usw.Conventional operating tables have slide rails along the longitudinal edges of the respective operating table surface or patient support surface, to which various accessories can be attached by means of tensioning clamps. Such accessories are, for example, supports for the arm support, an anesthesia sheet for holding equipment for anesthesia, body straps, etc.

Spezielle medizinische Untersuchungen und chirurgische Eingriffe benötigen den Einsatz von Röntgengeräten und erfordern damit Patientenlagerflächen, die artefaktfrei durchleuchtbar sein müssen. Metallgleitschienen der vorstehend genannten Art stören dabei die Durchleuchtbarkeit dieser Lagerflächen. Aus diesem Grunde hat man Lagerflächen entwickelt, die vollständig aus röntgenstrahlendurchlässigem Material, beispielsweise kohlefaserverstärktem Kunststoff, bestehen. Damit hat man aber das Problem, daß die Zubehörteile nicht mehr in der üblichen Weise an der Patientenlagerfläche selbst befestigt werden können sondern beispielsweise an eigenen Ständern gehalten werden. Dies wiederum behindert den Zugang zu der Patientenlagerfläche.Special medical examinations and surgical procedures require the use of X-ray equipment and thus require patient storage areas that must be able to be transilluminated without artifacts. Metal slide rails of the aforementioned type disturb the transmittance of these bearing surfaces. For this reason, storage areas have been developed that consist entirely of X-ray permeable material, for example carbon fiber reinforced plastic. But this has the problem that the accessories can not be fixed in the usual way on the patient support surface itself but are kept, for example, on their own stands. This in turn hinders access to the patient storage area.

Eine relevante Druckschrift ist die US-A-104591 , welche den ersten Teil des Anspruchs 1 entspricht.A relevant document is the US-A-104591 which corresponds to the first part of claim 1.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung zur Halterung von Zubehörteilen der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, die das Anbringen von Zubehörteilen auch an Patientenlagerflächen, die aus röntgenstrahlendurchlässigem Material bestehen, gestattet und durch die eine lokale Belastung des Lagerflächenprofils auf größeren Flächenbereichen verteilt und reduziert wird.The invention has for its object to provide an arrangement for mounting accessories of the type mentioned, which allows the attachment of accessories on patient support surfaces, which consist of radiolucent material, and distributed by the local load of the bearing surface profile over larger areas and reduced ,

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen auf das Profil der Patientenlagerfläche aufsteckbaren Zubehöradapter gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a attachable to the profile of the patient support surface accessory adapter according to claim 1.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung hat den Vorzug, daß der Zubehöradapter an der Patientenlagerfläche verschoben oder bei Bedarf ganz von ihr abgenommen werden kann, um das Durchstrahlen der Patientenlagerfläche nicht zu behindern. Auf der anderen Seite können die Zubehörteile wie bisher unmittelbar an der Patientenlagerfläche angebracht werden, so daß der freie Zugang zu der Patientenlagerfläche gewährleistet ist.The solution according to the invention has the advantage that the Zubehöradapter can be moved to the patient support surface or removed if necessary completely from her, in order not to hinder the irradiation of the patient support surface. On the other hand, the accessories can be attached as before directly to the patient support surface, so that the free access to the patient support surface is ensured.

Vorzugsweise sind an dem Zubehöradapter Feststellmittel vorgesehen, um ihn an einer Patientenlagerfläche in seiner gewünschten Position festzulegen und ein versehentliches Verrücken des Zubehörs relativ zum Patienten zu verhindern. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die Feststellmittel an mindestens einer der Klauen angeordnet, wo sie leicht bedient werden können. Um den Zubehöradapter an einer beliebigen Stelle der Patientenlagerfläche festlegen zu können, umfassen die Feststellmittel zweckmäßigerweise eine in eine Klauenöffnung eingreifende Klemmvorrichtung, die ein kraftschlüssiges Festlegen des Zubehöradapters ermöglicht. Die Klemmvorrichtung hat bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung eine zur' Anlage an einem Randstreifen der Patientenlagerfläche bestimmte Klemmschiene, die beweglich in der Klauenöffnung gelagert und durch ein Spannelement gegen den Randstreifen der Patientenlagerfläche andrückbar ist. Die Klemmschiene bildet ein relativ großflächiges Klemmelement, durch das die spezifische Flächenpressung der Patientenlagerfläche durch die Klemmvorrichtung verringert und damit eine Beschädigung der Patientenlagerfläche durch die Klemmvorrichtung vermieden wird.Preferably, locking means are provided on the accessory adapter to secure it to a patient support surface in its desired position and to prevent accidental dislocation of the accessory relative to the patient. Conveniently, the locking means are arranged on at least one of the claws, where they can be easily operated. In order to be able to fix the accessory adapter at any point of the patient support surface, the locking means expediently comprise a clamping device which engages in a claw opening and enables a force-locking fixing of the accessory adapter. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the clamping device has a clamping rail intended to rest on an edge strip of the patient support surface, which is movably mounted in the mouth opening and can be pressed against the edge strip of the patient support surface by a tensioning element. The clamping rail forms a relatively large-area clamping element, through which the specific surface pressure of the patient support surface is reduced by the clamping device and thus damage to the patient support surface is avoided by the clamping device.

Figur 1 zeigt einen allgemein mit 10 bezeichneten Operations- oder Untersuchungstisch mit einer Tischsäule 12 und einer allgemein mit 14 bezeichneten Patientenlagerfläche, die in einem an dem Kopf der Tischsäule 12 angeordneten Führungsgehäuse 16 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles A in Figur 1, das heißt in ihrer Längsrichtung verschiebbar gelagert ist. Die Patientenlagerfläche besteht aus einer Tischplatte 18, auf der ein Polster 20 angeordnet ist. Die Tischplatte 18 ist aus einem röntgenstrahlendurchlässigen Material, beispielsweise kohlefaserverstärktem Kunststoff, hergestellt und hat ein trapezförmiges Profil, das sich nach unten hin verjüngt und dessen die Oberseite der Tischplatte 18 bildende Trapezgrundfläche durch die Längsränder der Tischplatte 18 bildende Randstreifen 22 nach außen verlängert ist. Auf das Profil der Tischplatte 18 ist ein allgemein mit 24 bezeichneter Zubehöradapter aufgeschoben, der nun anhand der Figuren 2 bis 4 näher erläutert werden soll. FIG. 1 shows an operating or examination table generally designated 10 with a table column 12 and a patient support surface generally designated 14, in a arranged at the top of the table column 12 guide housing 16 in the direction of the double arrow A in FIG. 1 that is, is displaceably mounted in its longitudinal direction. The patient support surface consists of a table top 18, on which a pad 20 is arranged. The table top 18 is made of a radiolucent material, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and has a trapezoidal profile which tapers downwards and its trapezoidal base forming the top of the table top 18 is extended outwardly by edge strips 22 forming longitudinal edges of the tabletop 18. On the profile of the table top 18 a generally designated 24 Zubehöradapter is pushed, which now based on the FIGS. 2 to 4 will be explained in more detail.

Der Zubehöradapter 24 besteht aus 2 Klauen 26, die durch einen Bügel 28 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei die Klauen 26 und der Bügel 28 einstückig hergestellt sind. Die Klauen 26 haben eine Klauenöffnung 30, in welche beim Aufschieben des Zubehöradapters auf die Tischplatte 18 jeweils ein Randstreifen 22 eingreift. Die Form des Bügels 28 ist an das trapezförmige Profil der Tischplatte 18 angepaßt, so daß der Bügel 28 dicht an der Unterseite der Tischplatte 18 verläuft, wenn der Zubehöradpater 24 auf die Tischplatte 18 aufgeschoben oder aufgesteckt wurde, wie dies Figur 1 zeigt. An der Außenseite der Klauen 26 ist jeweils eine Gleitschiene 32 mit Hilfe von Bolzen 34 befestigt. Die Gleitschiene 32 besteht aus Metall und hat das gleiche Profil, wie herkömmliche Gleitschienen an Operationstischplatten, so daß die üblichen Zubehörteile mit den üblichen Klemmvorrichtungen an den Gleitschienen 32 angesetzt werden können.The accessory adapter 24 consists of 2 jaws 26, which are interconnected by a bracket 28, wherein the jaws 26 and the bracket 28 are made in one piece. The claws 26 have a claw opening 30, in which engages when pushing the Zubehöradapters on the table top 18 each have an edge strip 22. The shape of the bracket 28 is adapted to the trapezoidal profile of the table top 18, so that the bracket 28 runs close to the underside of the table top 18 when the Zubehöradpater 24 was pushed onto the table top 18 or plugged, like this FIG. 1 shows. On the outside of the jaws 26, a slide rail 32 is fastened by means of bolts 34 in each case. The slide rail 32 is made of metal and has the same profile as conventional slide rails on operating table tops, so that the usual accessories can be attached to the slide rails 32 with the usual clamping devices.

Die Festlegung des Zubehöradapters 24 in einer gewünschten Position an der Tischplatte 18 erfolgt mit Hilfe von Klemmvorrichtungen, die in den Klauen 26 angeordnet sind. Jede Klemmvorrichtung umfaßt eine Klemmschiene 36, die sich in der jeweiligen Klauenöffnung 30 parallel zur Gleitschiene 32 erstreckt und zur Anlage an der Unterseite eines Randstreifens 22 der Tischplatte 18 bestimmt ist. Die Gleitschiene 36 hat zwei nach unten gerichtete Fortsätze 38 mit Bohrungen 40, in welche jeweils ein Bolzen 42 eingeschraubt werden kann, der seinerseits wieder in eine Aussparung 44 in dem Zubehöradapter 24 eingreift. Diese Aussparung 44 ist senkrecht zur Klemmfläche 46 der Klemmschiene 36 größer als der Durchmesser des Bolzens 42, so daß die Klemmschiene 36 sich senkrecht zu ihrer Klemmfläche 46 bewegen kann. Mit Hilfe einer in das Material der jeweiligen Klaue 26 eingeschraubten exzentrischen Klemm- oder Knebelschraube 48 kann die Klemmschiene 36 angehoben, das heißt mit ihrer Klemmfläche 46 gegen die Unterseite des jeweiligen Randstreifens 22 der jeweiligen Tischplatte 18 gespannt oder abgesenkt werden. Damit wird der Zubehöradapter 24 an der Tischplatte 18 festgeklemmt oder wieder gelöst. Wie man erkennt, ist die Achse der Klemmoder Knebelschraube 48 unter einem Winkel von circa 45° gegenüber der Ebene des mittleren Bügelabschnittes geneigt, so daß die Klemmschraube 48 bequem und ohne Behinderung durch die Gleitschiene 32 bedient werden kann.The attachment of the adapter 24 in a desired position on the table top 18 by means of clamping devices which are arranged in the jaws 26. Each clamping device comprises a clamping rail 36 which extends in the respective mouth opening 30 parallel to the slide rail 32 and is intended to rest against the underside of an edge strip 22 of the table top 18. The slide rail 36 has two downwardly directed extensions 38 with holes 40, in each of which a bolt 42 can be screwed, which in turn engages in a recess 44 in the accessory adapter 24. This recess 44 is perpendicular to the clamping surface 46 of the clamping rail 36 is greater than the diameter of the bolt 42 so that the clamping rail 36 can move perpendicular to its clamping surface 46. With the help of a screwed into the material of the respective claw 26 eccentric clamping or toggle screw 48, the clamping rail 36 is raised, that is clamped or lowered with its clamping surface 46 against the underside of the respective edge strip 22 of the respective table top 18. Thus, the accessory adapter 24 is clamped to the table top 18 or released again. As can be seen, the axis of the Klemmoder thumbscrew 48 is inclined at an angle of approximately 45 ° relative to the plane of the central bracket portion, so that the clamping screw 48 can be operated comfortably and without interference from the slide rail 32.

Wenn die Patientenlagerfläche 14 in dem Führungsgehäuse 16 verschoben wird, um bestimmte Partien des Patienten durchleuchten zu können, kann der Zubehöradapter 24 entweder ganz von der Patientenlagerfläche 14 abgenommen oder aber beispielsweise an das Führungsgehäuse 16 herangeschoben werden, wo er die röntgenologischen Untersuchungen nicht behindert. Es versteht sich, daß bei einem Operationstisch gemäß Figur 1 beispielsweise auch zwei derartige Zubehöradapter 24 vorgesehen sein können, beispielsweise jeweils einer auf jeder Seite des Führungsgehäuses 16.If the patient support surface 14 is displaced in the guide housing 16 in order to be able to illuminate certain areas of the patient, the accessory adapter 24 can either be removed completely from the patient support surface 14 or, for example, pushed up to the guide housing 16, where it does not impede the radiographic examinations. It is understood that in accordance with an operating table FIG. 1 For example, two such Zubehöradapter 24 may be provided, for example, one on each side of the guide housing 16th

In Figur 4 erkennt man, daß die Klemmschienen 36 nach beiden Seiten über die Klauen 26 des Zubehöradapters 28 hinausragen. Diese überstehenden Abschnitte der Klemmschiene 36 können als Schaltleisten verwendet werden, die bei Annäherung des Zubehöradapters 24 an das Führungsgehäuse 16 einen nicht dargestellten End-Schalter betätigen, um den Antrieb für die Verstellung der Lagerfläche 14 abzuschalten und damit eine mögliche Kollision zwischen dem Führungsgehäuse und dem Zubehöradapter 24 zu verhindern.In FIG. 4 it can be seen that the clamping rails 36 protrude on both sides over the jaws 26 of the accessory adapter 28. These protruding portions of the clamping rail 36 can be used as a switching strips that operate when approaching the Zubehöradapters 24 to the guide housing 16 an end switch, not shown, to turn off the drive for the adjustment of the bearing surface 14 and thus a possible collision between the guide housing and the Accessory adapter 24 to prevent.

Man erkennt, daß bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Zubehöradapter um die Längsachse der Gleitschiene wirkende Momente aufgrund schwerer Zubehörteile durch die brückenförmige Verbindung der beiden Klauen des Zubehöradapters auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Adapters abgestützt werden. Dadurch wird die lokale Belastung des Lagerflächenprofils auf größere Flächenbereiche verteilt und reduziert. Die formschlüssige Verbindung des Zubehöradapters mit der Lagerfläche verhindert ein unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Zubehörs, wodurch sich die Gefährdung des Patienten durch herabfallendes Zubehör vermeiden läßt.It can be seen that in the accessory adapter according to the invention about the longitudinal axis of the slide acting moments due to heavy accessories are supported by the bridge-shaped connection of the two jaws of Zubehöradapters on the opposite side of the adapter. This distributes and reduces the local load on the bearing surface profile over larger surface areas. The positive connection of the accessory with the bearing surface prevents unintentional release of the accessories, which can be the danger to the patient by falling down accessories to avoid.
