Abstract
A removable accessory for use with a surgical table top having a generally planar top surface for supporting a patient. The accessory may be in the form of a detachable siderail which may be clamped onto the side edge of a surgical table top. The removable accessory includes an elongated clamp body defined by a C-shaped channel member having top and bottom legs connected by a connector portion. A clamp bar is supported on the bottom leg and is moved into engagement with a bottom surface of the surgical table top to thereby cause the accessory to be clamped to the table top. The table top is provided with a ridge along an upper edge thereof for positioning within a recess in the top leg of the clamp body for preventing the accessory from slipping off the edge of the table top.
