How do Surgical Tables Help?

Surgical tables are more than necessary during surgery. When a person is under anesthesia, the tables keep them safe from moving. The thick powered base allows the patient to be operated on in a steady environment. These bases also can operate in different directions to allow the surgeon a higher precision rate. It is also helpful that the tables can be adjusted based on what procedures are being performed. The table can be positioned so that the surgeon is either sitting or standing. Below are some of the topmost requested surgical tables that we see from the Steris brand.

Steris 5085

The Steris 5085 surgical table is an electrohydraulically operated mobile table that is designed to support a wide range of surgical procedures, including general, bariatric, cardiac, vascular, endoscopic, gynecology, urology, nephrectomy, neurology, ophthalmologic, and orthopedic surgeries. It comes with additional Steris tabletop accessories for added convenience. This table offers optimal patient positioning flexibility, making it ideal for modern surgical care facilities. It can handle loads of up to 1200 pounds and has the ability to raise/lower, but does not offer tabletop articulation or slide. For loads up to 1000 pounds, the table can perform all patient posturing without a tabletop slide. With loads up to 600 pounds, it can perform all patient posturing and full tabletop slide.

Version 1: The 5085 model is equipped with a tethered hand control that hangs from the standard side rails. This hand control allows users to input commands to the master computer, which is located in the base of the table. The master computer then activates the necessary outputs based on the buttons pressed on the hand control. Additionally, the Steris 5085 comes with a backup hand control in the table base and offers an optional ACT-enabled interface to Operating Room Control Systems (ORCS) for seamless integration of all table functions.

The Steris 5085 has the following movements:

• Flex/Reflex –  140°/100°±1°
• Slide Motion –  HEAD: 9″ (227 mm) FOOT: 9″ (227 mm) from center
• Height Range –  22.8 to 42.5″ (581 to 1080 mm)
• Trendelenburg Range –  30°±1°
• Reverse Trendelenburg Range –  30°±1°
• Tilt Range –  20°±1°
• Back Section Motion –  UP: 80°±1° DOWN: 40°±1°
• Leg Section Motion –  UP: 0° DOWN: 105°±1°
• Kidney Elevator Mechanism –  4″ (110 mm)
• Head Section (Manual) –  90°±1°, 15° increments

Steris 4085

The Steris CMAX 4085 surgical table utilizes an electrohydraulic system for all powered table movements, with the exception of the zip-slide movable tabletop which is powered by an electric motor. The control system, located in the table column, is a master computer that determines which outputs to activate based on inputs from an auxiliary CPU in the pendant and control, and/or optional foot control. This surgical table is specifically designed to accommodate a wide range of general surgical procedures, including cardiac and vascular, endoscopic, gynecology, urology, nephrectomy, neurology, ophthalmologic, and orthopedics, with various compatible accessories. It offers powered lateral tilt, Trendelenburg/reverse Trendelenburg, and adjustable height functions for the tabletop, catering to patients of all sizes. The table can support a load of up to 600 lbs for full tabletop function and patient positioning. However, with a load of 1000 lbs, the table can perform all patient positioning functions except tabletop slide, and with a load of 1100 lbs, the table is unable to perform any patient positioning or tabletop slide movements.

Steris Amsco 3085

The Steris Amsco 3085 is a mobile surgical table that operates using electrohydraulic technology. It is designed to support various surgical procedures, such as urology, neurology, and orthopedics, with the help of specific accessories. This versatile table is available in both electric and battery-powered configurations. One of its notable features is its ability to accommodate patients weighing up to 1,000 pounds in the standard patient orientation.

The Amsco 3085, on the other hand, utilizes microprocessor-controlled hydraulics to provide precise tabletop articulation. To ensure reliability, it is equipped with an auxiliary override control and hydraulic system as a backup. This system is responsible for powering all the articulations on the table. A 24-VDC electric motor drives a pump with a nominal capacity of 0.25 GPM and a nominal pressure of 1740 psi. Solenoid valves are used to direct fluid to the hydraulic cylinders. In terms of patient safety, the 3085 surgical table incorporates a locking side-tilt cylinder design to prevent any unexpected lateral movement. Additionally, it includes a mechanical lock that acts as a backup to the hydraulic system, ensuring that lateral movement is restricted until the desired hydraulic pressure is achieved.

The Steris Amsco 3085 has the following movements:

• Trendelenburg – 25° maximum from horizontal.
• Reverse Trendelenburg – 25° maximum from horizontal.

The Refurbishment Process

Our facility in Bloomfield, CT is ISO 13485:2016 certified for reconditioning refurbished medical devices. Our refurbishment process is very meticulous and time-consuming; making certain that all parts of the process are carefully monitored. First, our procurement departments no longer use medical equipment from hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, and physician offices. This medical equipment is analyzed by our experienced team of biomedical engineers. Parts are replaced, and the units are calibrated. Strict OEM specifications are followed.  After biomedical testing, these units go to our cosmetics department. Cosmetics superficially reconditions the units through sanding, painting, and replacement of decals to make sure that these units look just as they did the day they left their original equipment manufacturer. Units are tested one more time to make certain that all parts of our refurbishment checklist have been performed. Finally, these units make their way to our shipping department, where these units are carefully wrapped, packaged, and crated to be sent for immediate use at your facility.
