How do Surgical Tables Help?

Surgical tables are more than necessary during surgery. When a person is under anesthesia, the tables keep them safe from moving. The thick powered base allows the patient to be operated on in a steady environment. These bases also can operate in different directions to allow the surgeon a higher precision rate. It is also helpful that the tables can be adjusted based on what procedures are being performed. The table can be positioned so that the surgeon is either sitting or standing. Below are some of the topmost requested surgical tables that we see from the Steris brand.

The Refurbishment Process

Our facility in Bloomfield, CT is ISO 13485:2016 certified for reconditioning refurbished medical devices. Our refurbishment process is very meticulous and time-consuming; making certain that all parts of the process are carefully monitored. First, our procurement departments no longer use medical equipment from hospitals, surgery centers, clinics, and physician offices. This medical equipment is analyzed by our experienced team of biomedical engineers. Parts are replaced, and the units are calibrated. Strict OEM specifications are followed.  After biomedical testing, these units go to our cosmetics department. Cosmetics superficially reconditions the units through sanding, painting, and replacement of decals to make sure that these units look just as they did the day they left their original equipment manufacturer. Units are tested one more time to make certain that all parts of our refurbishment checklist have been performed. Finally, these units make their way to our shipping department, where these units are carefully wrapped, packaged, and crated to be sent for immediate use at your facility. Most of our products come with 1-year parts and labor warranty.
