A device for support and elevation of the lower extremities. More
specifically, the invention is a leg elevator that provides calibrated,
adjustable support for the upper leg, the lower leg and the foot. The leg
elevator is adjustable to many different positions through the use of
three independent adjustment mechanisms. The upper leg portion of the leg
elevator can be adapted to accommodate people that have upper legs of
various lengths. The height of the lower leg portion is also adjustable,
and the relative angular position of the upper and lower leg can be
varied from a generally flat position, to a substantially bent position.
The invention can be used to provide elevation for either leg separately
or for both legs simultaneously. The leg elevator is lightweight, easily
disinfected, and can be collapsed to a relatively flat position for ease
in transport and storage.
