Steris | OT 1000 Series
Orthotable
This versatile orthopedic table
designed for an anterior
approach to total hips features
Steris's SWAN (simple, weight-
less articulation) technology.
The technology lets a single
person easily lower, move and
rotate the leg positioners. During movement, the safety lock engages immediately
upon release, so a patient's legs can't be dropped. The table is made of carbon
fiber and features a laterally sliding tabletop for better imaging access. It's also
ergonomically friendly to your staff, as the table can come with an auto-drive func-
tion that lets a single person move the table.

Table Extension by
Condor
The Rotex Table Extension
is a universal attachment
to be used during anterior
hip replacement. The
extension is about two-
thirds the cost of a hana
table, a company rep says, and is universal to fit on any table. It features a 34-inch
extension and flexion operated by a footswitch, allowing a surgeon to control rota-
tion, abduction, adduction and traction. One of its best features is that it is tall and
slim when folded up for easy transport and storage.
