The operating table is breathing, the lifeline of a hospital. Without this equipment, surgeons cannot perform their surgical tasks successfully. If you are a surgeon looking for an OT table for your operating room, careful planning and consideration can help you choose the right product. Multi-specialty hospitals have multiple operating rooms for different departments, and the requirements of different departments may be different.
Whether hydraulic, semi-electric, electro-hydraulic or electric operating table, today’s surgeons love nothing more than comfort at work during surgery. This is facilitated by automatic control of certain functions. Automatic control can only be achieved if a control panel is included in an electrically supported operation of the device. Manual varieties do not have automatic control features, which may affect the attention of the surgeon during the procedure. As medical technology advances and surgeons and patients pay more attention to comfort and safety factors, the demand for hydraulic and electric varieties in hospitals around the world is increasing.
Operating tables are one of the most conductive medical devices in the operating room.
They come in two different types: electric operating tables and electro-hydraulic operating tables.
What is the difference between hydraulic and electric operating table?
Drive
Both hydraulic and electric tables are designed for professional use. Electric operating table adopts motor drive mode. Hydraulic bed adopts hydraulic drive, including hydraulic motor, solenoid valve, hydraulic oil pipe and so on.
Battery
The electro-hydraulic operation table is one of the most advanced surgical instruments in the field of surgery, of course, more expensive. Compared with ordinary operation table, safe and reliable, built-in battery, even if accidentally power off, also can start the battery in time, so that even if the power can ensure the operation, relatively small noise. Hydraulic tables usually last longer than electric ones without motors, but electric tables are the more popular of the two.
Lift
Hydraulic operating tables use pumps, not motors, and therefore use the body as a lever to change height, usually with foot pumps. The hydraulic table slowly increases height “pump by pump” as it rises, rather than moving evenly as it rises. Generally speaking, large hospitals will choose electro-hydraulic operating table.
The electric table requires electricity (you need to plug it into the power supply) and uses an electric motor to smoothly adjust the table height up and down by pressing the pedals or touchpad. Whether electric or hydraulic operating table, lifting is very stable.
Market
According to different market, electric operating table has different configuration, the product is more popular. Consumers can choose the right operating bed according to their own circumstances. Hydraulic operating table is facing the high-end market, so it is mainly used in large and medium-sized hospitals, small clinics or hospitals, medical institutions, etc. Electric operating table is recommended.
Professional
The general surgical table can be used for minor operations and can be adjusted with accessory support for other surgical procedures including plastics, bladder, cardiovascular, gastroenterology, etc. Operating tables for specialized operations can be distinguished by specific configurations. To orthopaedic operation, the first choice contains orthopaedic accessory special orthopaedic stage. These devices are equipped with traction racks, leg racks and more to effectively move the patient during surgery. Gynecological operating table should facilitate the use of leg frame and more accessories for sitting or decubitus position.
Power control sources for various Settings (including bed movement, height adjustment, table tilt, etc.) help simplify surgical tasks without distracting the surgeon. This function can be used for electric operating table. The movement of the table can be easily controlled with the help of a remote control that helps the electric actuator run.
Modularization Electric Hydraulic Operating Table, the operating table can be used in the hospital operating room for surgery, namely: thoracic surgery, cardiovascular, vitro circulation, abdominal gallbladder resection , Renal resection, neck, cervical vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, spine, back, urology, gynecology, brain neurosurgery, rectum, orthopedic lower limb traction (bone traction) and other surgery. Including bed lifting, tilt before and after, left and right tilt, tablete translation, backplane lifting, leg plate lifting, etc.
Hydraulic energy typically controlled by pedal contributes to the function of the hydraulic OT workbench. The operation method is slightly different from the electric operating table. Modularization Electric Hydraulic Operating Table attached to a manual remote control, can be reset, one button is disassembled. Complex hydraulic mechanisms help the desktop smooth, stepless hinged to achieve accurate patient positioning.
