Operating table

There are a wide range of table tops that can be used for both general surgery and for specialist disciplines.

Mobile operating tables, however, tend to be equipped with a specific discipline in mind.

These devices include, for example, x-ray equipment, which can easily be slid under the table top.

For personnel, the system offers improved leg space since disruptive foot geometry is no longer present.

This flexibility is very important since it enables the table to be adapted to suit the relevant patient or the surgical discipline.

There are a number of basic functions that every operating table must fulfill in order to meet the requirements made of it.

In addition it must be possible to tilt the table to the left and to the right to ensure a better overview into body cavities or to use gravity to move organs (e.g. laparoscopy).

This is the only way to ensure the necessary anatomical bends of the body and enable extremities to be positioned suitable for operating.

The operating table column can be rotated by 360° and offers ideal space for the feet of the team.

Finally, operating table systems with stationary columns enables control elements to be integrated into image procedures, for example, angiography, MR and CT.
