Great Tables Need Great Accessories
How to transform your general surgery table into a specialty table.
Lynne Ingle, RN, BS, MHA, CNOR

From straps and stirrups to armboards and leg supports, surgical table accessories give you the flexibility you need to position the patient for whatever procedures you perform and imaging requirements you have. As you'll see, these accessories that clamp on, clip on or otherwise connect to your OR table provide the necessary visualization, positioning and protection of patients. The ability to attach accessories to multi-purpose surgical tables lets you stretch your capital-equipment budget instead of buying specialty surgical tables for all the procedures your ORs host. There are devices for all areas of the body and for all types of surgical procedures, all designed with the fast-paced surgical center in mind.
