Trumpf Medical Systems has introduced several new patient positioning accessories to its range of modular and mobile operating tables.
These include a new addition to its carbon attachment range - an exchangeable operating tabletop that complements its high-end TruSystem 7500 which is ideally suited to use in hybrid theatres.
The new Trumpf Carbon FloatLine is a one-piece tabletop that is entirely radiolucent. When combined with the premium TruSystem 7500 surgical table, it provides an open interface for integration with 3D C-arms and other imaging systems.
Every possible combination of transverse and longitudinal motion can be initiated directly with a single movement and the system also offers infinite adjustment of Trendelenburg slope and lateral tilt. The tabletop on a stationary column provides a 360◦ scanable area of 1,800mm for intra-operative radiology and angiography.
In extreme inclination angles, the patient weight capacity of Carbon Floatline is 180kg and in the neutral position, 225kg.
Made from a carbon fibre reinforced composite material, Carbon FloatLine can simultaneously move up to 125mm sideways, 800mm lengthways at a speed of up to 185mm per second. Its motor unit also has a stainless housing that is both easy to clean and able to withstand disinfection.
An ergonomically-designed control unit enables theatre staff to move the table top in the desired direction both easily and intuitively and IR, cable or wireless control devices can be specified.
Speed is continuously adjusted by sensors that respond to the applied force. This quick and unrestricted movement gives the user the impression that the surgical table is free floating. Sensors also eliminate any danger of the table colliding with the floor.
All the accessories and positioning aids needed for optimal surgery are attached to Carbon Floatline using adaptable side rails. Special carbon coupling points are also provided to accommodate ancillary X-ray equipment such as head positioning accessories.
