A bracket for extensibly mounting a medical or surgical apparatus, and more particularly a humidification apparatus, to a support structure. The bracket comprises a base member securable to the support structure, a mounting member to which the humidification apparatus may be secured, and an extension mechanism moveably engaging the base member and the mounting member. The mounting member is reversibly extensible from a retracted position substantially proximate the base member to an extended position projecting beyond the base member. Also disclosed are a humidification apparatus and a support stand each comprising the extensible bracket. |
