What to Look for in a General Surgery Surgical Table

When choosing a general surgery operating table, versatility is paramount. To make the most of your equipment budget, you want a table that will be able to accommodate a wide range of patients and procedures, without causing extra steps for your surgeons or their support staff. Some key characteristics to look for when in the market for a new table include:

• Accessibility and comfort: Two main criteria for any general surgery surgical table are accessibility and comfort. Ultimately, if your patients aren’t comfortable and your surgeons have to struggle to complete basic procedures, you aren’t delivering the best level of care possible. When shopping for a general surgery table, look for features such as multiple positioning abilities, modular construction that can be adapted to different patient needs and high-quality mattresses and cushions.
• Support for larger patients: A keen understanding of your patients will determine how much of a priority support for tall and overweight patients is for you. At the very minimum, look for a general surgery table that will support patients up to 136 kg (300 lbs). If your patients have higher rates of obesity, many general surgery tables with weight capacities of 450 kg (1000 lbs) or more are available.
• Intraoperative imaging: Hybrid ORs are widely considered to be the next frontier in medicine, with many Canadian facilities integrating advanced imaging capabilities into their surgical centres. Whether or not you currently perform laparoscopic and other minimally invasive procedures, choosing a table with C-arms, X-ray support and other advanced imaging features is a great way to position yourself for the future and avoid costly upgrades later.
