A leg holder system for simultaneously positioning in the abduction and
lithotomy dimensions including a support device for supporting a leg
cradle; a clamping device for mounting the proximate end of the support
device to a mounting device having a first axis and selectively clamping
and releasing motion of the support device about the first axis and about
a second axis transverse to the first axis. An actuator device for
actuating the clamp to selectively clamp and release simultaneously the
support device and the mounting device; and an operator device remote
from the clamping device and actuator device for operating the actuator
device to enable the support device to move simultaneously about the
first and second axis in both the lithotomy and abduction dimensions.
