Abstract

See full text

A positioning device for holding a human limb in a fixed position on a table for examination and/or X-ray photography. The device secures the limb against movement in any direction and is thus particularly adapted for stress arthrogram examinations. A lever actuated suction cup assembly selectively positionable on a table carries a horizontal limb support plate in spaced relation above the table. A pair of opposed upstanding clamp assemblies are slidably mounted on the support plate and are selectively adjustable into a fixed clamping position in engagement with a human limb placed therebetween on the support plate. The limb engaging surfaces of the clamp assemblies have a concave configuration and are selectively angularly adjustable to accommodate the taper of the secured limb.
