The Technology
The self-contained operating table serves as a central integrated unit, replacing the radial layout that disperses cables and tubes in and outward. By consolidating equipment beneath and around the table, this compact design minimizes clutter (spaghetti effect), enhances safety, enable portability and optimizes workflows. Key features include:
- Built-in equipment housing: Unused space beneath the table is utilized for storing compact, lightweight, and modular devices.
- Centralized connections: Integrated systems for gas, vacuum, power, and communication lines run through the table’s base.
- Multifunctionality: The table integrates monitoring, treatment, and diagnostic tools along with auxiliary functions like climate control and lighting.
- Advanced controls: Remote touchscreens, voice-activated systems, and gesture-based controls ensure user-friendly operation.
Advantages
- Safety Improvements: Reduces risks of disconnection, material loss, and patient harm and improve sterility by consolidating connections and equipment.
- Workflow Efficiency: Minimizes staff movement and distractions with centralized equipment placement and integrated controls.
- Enhanced Flexibility: Modular design adapts to different surgical requirements and team preferences.
- Space Optimization: Utilizes vertical space for a multi-layered working environment, freeing up operating room space.
- Future-Ready Design: Incorporates wireless technology and advanced materials for longevity and adaptability.
Applications and Opportunities
- Target Markets: Hospitals, deployable (field) hospitals, surgical centers, and research facilities focused on innovation and operational efficiency.
- Applications: Suitable for diverse surgical disciplines, including cardiology, orthopedics, and minimally invasive procedures.
- A holistic approach addressing both electrical and physical clutter makes this “All in One” solution unique compared to partial fixes.
- The self-contained operating table represents a transformative step towards safer, more efficient, portable and adaptable surgical environments.
