You might encounter the terms "operating room table" and "surgical table" used interchangeably, and for the most part, that's perfectly accurate. Both terms refer to the specialized tables used to position patients during surgery.
Here's a subtle difference to keep in mind:
In essence, when you're searching for a table specifically designed for patient positioning during surgery, "surgical table" is the most precise term. However, if you're browsing for various OR equipment, "operating room tables" might encompass a wider range of products.
Surgical tables play a vital role in ensuring optimal patient positioning throughout a surgical procedure. Key functionalities include:
Surgical tables have a designated weight capacity to ensure safe operation for both patients and staff. Exceeding the weight limit can compromise table stability and functionality, potentially leading to safety hazards.
When choosing a surgical table, consider the weight range of your typical patients to ensure adequate capacity. Our inventory offers various weight capacity options to suit your specific needs.
The proper positioning of a patient on the surgical table is a crucial aspect of ensuring a successful surgical procedure. It optimizes surgical access to the operative site, promotes patient comfort, and minimizes the risk of complications. Here's an overview of some common patient positions used in surgery:
The most common position, with the patient lying flat on their back, arms at sides or on arm boards. Ideal for abdominal, thoracic, and some head and neck surgeries.
The patient lies face down with head turned to one side. Used for posterior spine surgery, some lung surgeries, and pilonidal cyst removal.
The patient lies on one side with the upper arm positioned forward for support. Commonly used for kidney, lung, and some breast surgeries.
The patient lies on their back with legs bent and abducted (spread apart) and supported in stirrups. Primarily used for gynecological and urological procedures.
The patient kneels on the table, leaning forward with head resting on a padded surface or arms. Used for some rectal and anorectal procedures.
The patient sits upright with a backrest angled backward and legs supported. Ideal for shoulder arthroscopy and some breast surgeries.
A modification of the supine position where the entire operating table is tilted head-down. This improves venous return from the lower extremities and abdominal organs, often used in abdominal and pelvic surgeries.
The opposite of Trendelenburg, with the table tilted head-up. Used in some head and neck procedures to improve venous drainage from the head.
The patient is positioned in a modified lateral position with the top leg flexed and abducted, while the bottom leg remains extended. Commonly used for urological and gynecological procedures requiring access to the pelvis and perineum.
The patient is in a semi-supine position with the head and upper body elevated on pillows or a backrest. Used for post-operative recovery, patients with respiratory issues, or procedures requiring improved lung ventilation.
The patient lies on one side with the top leg flexed and abducted, while the bottom leg is extended and drawn posteriorly. Used for rectal examinations, some gynecological procedures, and positioning patients who are unable to lie flat on their back.
The patient is in a kneeling position with the torso leaning forward and supported on a bolster or table edge. Primarily used for lumbar spine surgery and some anorectal procedures.
Similar to the jackknife position, but the patient's hips are flexed over the edge of the table, allowing for a more pronounced hyperextended position of the lumbar spine. Used for some spinal procedures.
Combines the lithotomy position with Trendelenburg tilt, further improving visualization of the pelvic organs. Used in some gynecological surgeries.
