There are several types of operating tables today evolved that has been designed over the years for a better patient and physician experience in surgery. From patient safety and surgical precision/efficiency to overall clinical efficiency, these are critical devices that have come a long way. Read our below blog to learn about the amazing innovations that have reinvented operating tables.
Operating Table TechnologyThe strongest technological advancement of a procedure table, short certainly great infection control features is the materials it's made from. These tables are ergonomically designed to provide versatility over a variety of surgical positions, making them an excellent choice for surgeons who need the freedom to perform delicate procedures without any encroachment on their range of motion. For instance, hybrid operating tables offer direct X-Ray and CT scan real time imaging during surgery in order to improve the visualization. It is significantly better than the older method, which saves a lot of patient repositioning time and accommodates shorter anesthesia hours with less damage to the surgical outcomes.
Welcome to this smarter running table era, and a future of precise non-pollutive surgery. Working off a battery and crammed with various sensors, the modern tables continue to monitor critical numbers via an AI algorithm - tweaking itself performance as necessary per surgery. The smart tables can predict likely to occur complications and act in real time avoiding human errorism thus, the stand alone technologies enhance a new take on surgical world. Furthermore, it can reduce tissue stress and post-op recovery periods also puts it high on patient benefit lists when working towards ideal healing results.
With the advent of robotics and nanotechnology by all accounts just around some corner we will have tables that sound part right out of a science fiction novel. We are also working on Surgical Robotic Tables in both surgeon controlled and autonomous modes to provide precision during surgery with faster throughput. Utilising nanotechnology embedded on table surfaces, it successfully prevents the colonies of bacteria which would lead to hospital acquired infections. Well, this is true to some extent that using advanced tables of biocompatible materials are compatible with these imaging but still many fail in maintaining patient safety and comfort.
Motorized operating tables are just another example in the domain of surgery where efficiency and precision have been given a small leg up. Surgeons can manipulate the tables in three directions as required depending on the surgeryWith a touch of button making it set and reset easy during multiple surgeries. This level of usability among specialties, important at some sites but seldom to the rest largely due to loss of millimeter precisions (i.e., neurosurgery or orthopedics), reduced equipment set-up and treatment duration by providing pre-configured settings designed for particular surgical procedures.
Wirelessly connected digitalized operating tables are another giant leap ahead of technology for surgical ingenuity. These tables easily enter hospital networks, enable immediate data exchange and provide remote consultation practice. This integrated system is not only more efficient for the delivery of surgical care, it also generates a wealth of data with which to drive performance improvement. SurgicalMT revolutionizing the tables by providing digital guns to surgeon which will just shoot 4K resolution surgical mgt and hence leading,next era predictive modeling at big data analysis as we go along.
This could also be visualized as a marriage between Artisanship and digitalization of operating tables (as well any other medical device) The ORs of the future The speed at which these changes are happening reinforces how operating rooms will continue on their path to becoming systems built for patient-packaging and diagnostic feeds that enhance performance during surgery as well post-op.
