Abstract
A prep and operating stand is provided for use by orthopedic surgeons for supporting and positioning a limb for surgery, for holding a collection bag underneath the limb during preparation, and for holding a tray of surgical instruments during an operating procedure. A first hoop-shaped frame is supported by an adjustable leg structure at one end and by a pivoted linkage attached to a surgical table at the other end. The hoop-shaped frame can optionally be provided with collection bag supporting structure or with tray supporting structure. The stand is collapsible for compact storage after use.
