Arm Surgery Tables Making a Difficult Procedure Less Stressful

Whether repairing the effects of a spinal cord injury (via tendon transfer) for patients exhibiting tetraplegia, or opening a carpal tunnel to relieve pressure and numbness, arm surgery tables are an invaluable surgical aid, allowing surgeons immediate and unhampered access to the area in question.

Lightweight yet stable, with optional removable legs, these arm surgery tables slot into an operating room table easily and guarantee 'wiggle-free' surfaces during delicate, exacting surgeries like an AV (arteriovenous) fistula, an abnormal connection or passageway between an artery and a vein.

Arm surgery tables are also invaluable during C-arm procedures, or fluoroscopy (a continuous X-ray scan) prior to surgery to correct injuries or anomalies in the limb, and fasten or mount easily in scanning suites for pre-operative evaluation by surgeons.

Arm surgery tables, available in both rectangular and hourglass models, allow surgical room personnel to adjust the table height via support legs, or provide extra room for the surgeon's elbows and essential equipment, and many come equipped with built-in handles for portability and easier storage when not in use. Pads are available for all models for added patient comfort, and many arm surgery tables come equipped with integral mounting clips for easy installation and removal.

The star of this panoply is undeniably the Carbon Light table, with or without leg. The Carbon Light provides the paradigm of table stability, is compatible with any standard operating room table, and comes in a standard and ultra-lightweight model as well as the surgeon-preferred hourglass shape.

Whether stitching up a wound, or performing the most delicate tendon transfer, arm surgery tables put the affected area front and center, which is precisely where skilled surgeons want it.
