A gynecological table, also known as an exam table, is a specialized piece of medical furniture designed to support patients during pelvic exams and other gynecological procedures. Its primary function is to position the patient comfortably and correctly to facilitate a thorough and efficient examination by a healthcare provider.

The defining feature of this table is the set of articulated leg supports, commonly called stirrups, attached near the foot of the table. These supports allow a patient to be in a lithotomy position, where the feet are placed in the stirrups with the knees bent. This positioning provides the clinician with necessary access while supporting the patient's legs and lower back. The table's lower section is often adjustable or can be detached to bring the patient closer to the clinician.

Typically, the table is padded for comfort and can be raised, lowered, or tilted electronically or hydraulically to accommodate both the patient's ease of mounting and the clinician's preferred working height. Its sturdy, stable construction ensures patient safety. Beyond its core design, it is a tool built for clinical functionality, hygiene, and patient dignity during sensitive medical consultations.
