A surgical table is a vital medical team in any operating room. It allows the patient to be properly positioned during surgery. Currently it is possible to find surgical tables in different sizes, with or without leg rests, and with a variety of specific characteristics that adapt to different needs depending on the intervention to be performed.
How is a surgical table composed?
The surgical tables are composed 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.
A 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.
Surgical tables can be 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.
Universal surgical tables are used for general, digestive and minor surgery. They are very versatile and adaptable to most cardiovascular, bladder, cosmetic surgery, among others. While special surgical operation tables are used for one or several medical specialties. They are characterized by their specific configuration and accessories.
Main characteristics of surgical tables

- Adjustable width bar: This quality is very important especially in surgical procedures in obese patients, this makes it easier for health personnel to adjust the width of the bar so that it does not excel too much or cause discomfort or stumbles in surgery.
- Flexibility to take pictures: many times during surgeries it is possible to take images, therefore, these medical equipment should allow capturing them.
- Headrest: This device ensures that the patient is in a comfortable position during surgery.
