Hey guys, the hospital has been building an entirely new procedure suite for myself and some other specialties. We are also getting a new procedure table and they just informed me that they have to have the bid in by Friday. I know nothing about good procedure tables. Any recs?? All I know is that my current one sucks as the sides are not completely translucent. Every time I get an oblique, I have to over or under oblique past the side of the table. Definitely don't want to deal with this with our future purchase. Thanks for the help

Bro wtf is wrong with your hospital? Oakworks for the win.

If it’s a hospital then demand they try out a unit prior to purchase. So you can confirm it will work for you. You also want to check weight limits. Oakworks are good. I have surgical table, STI gas worked great for years and lifts the biggies no problem
 
I have a similar table without longitudinal travel. It is good to have that feature at hospitals and ASC’s since people mess with the bed and c arm routinely. There isn’t really anything possible not to like about the table. $16000 is nothing for a hospital. Just buy it.
 
Anyone have a good suggestion for a less expensive office base option. Just need up/down and lift 500. Mine just got finicky after 14 year run

I think this is the same table I have. Will try to confirm tomorrow. Make sure you get the foot button controls with it. That hand control confuses the hell out of everyone.

edit: yes this is my table

the longitudinal travel function is quite helpful...

oddly, a tiny feature that i really like that i dont see on the older oakworks is a small level built in to the c arm.
 
May be getting a new table.
I’ve always used ones (Stille, Oakworks) that tapers near the shoulders and has a cutout for the patient’s face since I almost never sedate and want to be able to talk with them during the procedure…that said, does anybody use one with a solid top (without a cutout) and that doesn’t taper (just a long rectangle)? If so, any issues you have or feedback on patients if they like/dislike it?

No problem, just have a comfortable donut for their head.

We have a standard rectangle. It works just fine. Pillow at the top for all lumbar procedures. You do need something other than a standard donut for their head though for cervical stuff as it's hard for people to breathe with their face in the donut that's flat against a solid surface. I got one of these after a bunch of people complained about that issue and it's been smooth sailing since.

we use this for cervical cases and most lumbar cases when the patient has a protuberant abdomen. which is to say 80+% of my male patients.

its pretty light and the rad techs can pick it up and place it easily.

we use a second pad for lumbar cases, but you can toss a pillow or two under the patient's abdomen to improve lordosis.
