Leikkauspöytä

Leikkauspöytä, also known as an operating table, is a specialized piece of medical equipment found in operating rooms. Its primary function is to support the patient during surgical procedures. These tables are designed to be adjustable, allowing surgeons and medical staff to position the patient in various ways to optimize access to the surgical site. Key features often include height adjustment, Trendelenburg and reverse Trendelenburg tilts, lateral tilts, and various sections that can be independently manipulated.

The construction of a leikkauspöytä is typically made of durable, easy-to-clean materials like stainless steel to maintain sterile conditions. They are equipped with padded surfaces to ensure patient comfort and safety, along with restraints to prevent accidental movement. Advanced models incorporate features such as radiolucent surfaces, which allow for intraoperative imaging without needing to move the patient. The stability and weight-bearing capacity of a leikkauspöytä are critical to ensure patient safety throughout complex surgeries. Different surgical specialties may require tables with specific accessories or configurations to accommodate their unique needs.
