Unconventional table with a column-operated mechanism for orthopedic procedures
The orthopedic operating room is a central location for numerous surgeries in hospitals, which requires specific requirements for the surgical bed.
One notable difference between the newly introduced
operating bed and the commonly seen central column-operated bed lies in its unique eccentric column design. Unlike many central column-operated beds that necessitate translation to imitate an eccentric column effect, the Howell operating table completely eliminates this need.
In orthopedic surgery, having sufficient perspective space is of utmost importance. An operating bed with an eccentric column design provides a spacious perspective area, allowing seamless movement without any collision when working with C-arm and G-arm equipment.
Additionally, by connecting this versatile operating table with various accessories, it becomes possible to perform a wider range of operations. For example, attaching orthopedic traction frames enables lower extremity procedures while adding a head frame facilitates craniocerebral surgery. Similarly, connecting a shoulder surgical board allows for effective completion of shoulder surgeries. By utilizing different accessories on one single bed, multiple purposes can be achieved.
