The operating table is one of the most important elements of any operating room. Not only the surgeon's comfort, but also the patient's safety depends on its design, materials and capabilities. The correct body position during the operation provides the surgeon with optimal access to the intervention area and allows the team to work without unnecessary difficulties.
Modern operating tables are made of stainless steel, which guarantees strength, durability and resistance to corrosion, even with constant contact with antiseptics and liquids. In addition, such surfaces are easy to clean and withstand repeated disinfection, which ensures a high level of hygiene and sterility.
For various knee needs, one of the most important functions of a modern operating table is the ability to accurately position the patient, so operating tables are equipped with a wide range of position adjustments: height adjustment, section tilt, headrest position and leg sections. This allows the table to be adapted for any type of intervention, from simple procedures to complex neurosurgical or orthopedic operations. Smooth movements and precise adjustment are critical so that changing the patient's position does not cause discomfort and does not distract the surgeon from work. For even greater convenience, modern operating tables are equipped with intuitive remote controls and control systems that allow you to easily and quickly adjust the table's position even during surgery. Additionally, modern operating tables are equipped with position memory and quick return to zero position functions. This allows you to save optimal settings for different types of operations and quickly restore them when used again. This feature saves time, reduces unnecessary movements and helps the team work as efficiently and confidently as possible.
At the same time, patient comfort is also of great importance, especially during long operations. Even slight pressure on human tissues can lead to pain or complications in the postoperative period, so operating tables are equipped with anatomical mattresses and special pads. They evenly distribute the load, reduce the risk of bedsores and help keep the body in a stable position throughout the procedure.
Many modern operating tables have a modular design, which allows you to select additional accessories according to the type of operation. These can be side supports, belts for fixing different parts of the body, supports for arms and legs, knee pads, various traction systems, skull clamps, etc. The use of such accessories allows you to accurately position the patient, making the operation comfortable, safe and effective.
Another important feature of modern operating tables is radiolucency, thanks to which medical personnel can perform X-ray examinations without the need to move the patient. This feature is especially valuable in orthopedics, traumatology and cardiac surgery, where the accuracy of the images directly affects the success of the operation and the safety of the patient.
Therefore, a modern operating table is a guarantee of the surgeon's comfort and patient safety. It makes any operation more precise and reliable.
