A surgical table is a medical equipment used in operating rooms to position the patient during surgery. It consists of a main platform, on which the patient can sit or lie down according to the need, and a central base that allows to adjust the height and inclination of the table.

The standard surgical table has postural controls so that it can be manipulated, flexed or extended to the desired position. Some tables have a metal cross bar or a body lift between the two upper sections that can be raised for gallbladder or kidney interventions. They are classified into universal surgical tables and special surgical tables, which in turn are classified into different models, depending on the medical specialties for which they are used.

How does a surgical table work?

The surgical tables use a power source to make the various settings, such as the height of the table or its inclination. We can find: electric operating tables and hydraulic operating tables. The height and inclination of the sections of the table are usually adjustable for greater comfort of the surgeon when intervening. In addition, the table supports a multitude of accessories to provide additional support for the patient.

Technical criteria for the installation of a surgical table

• Size and available space: the dimensions of the table and the space required depending on their different positions. The patient’s position varies according to the type of surgery, hence the importance of taking into account the different table movements.
• Power Mode: in the case of power tables, for example, a power supply is required nearby.
• Compatibility of accessories: it will be necessary to check the compatibility of the table with the different accessories depending on the applications; these include leg rests, traction racks, or rear frames.
• Security: patient safety is the most important thing. It will be essential to take into account the antibacterial, antifungal and flame retardant properties of the table surface. Not forgetting the maximum load the table can bear, in particular to avoid any risk of falling obese patients.

Maintenance and care of the operating table

Remember to inspect the following items that make up the operating table before and after use. If you find any abnormalities, you should seek appropriate repairs from your provider, as failure to do so could cause problems during surgery, and compromise the patient’s health.
