You may have come across regular operating tables, but you might not be familiar with the specialized orthopedic operating tables. An ordinary orthopedic operating table refers to a standard operating bed that is connected to a traction frame.
On the other hand, a special orthopedic operating bed consists of a carbon fiber bed board and is linked to a carbon fiber traction frame. For even more advanced options, there are end-column operating beds with carbon fiber bed boards connected to carbon fiber traction frames.
These higher-end products offer simpler usage, improved surgical efficiency, and naturally come at a higher cost. While stainless steel materials are X-ray resistant, carbon fibers are completely transparent to X-rays. Since orthopedic surgeries often require C-arm X-ray irradiation, surgeons tend to prefer using carbon fiber orthopedic operating beds. Now let's take a look at some images showcasing Howell Medical's range of carbon fiber orthopedic surgical beds.
