tection of their skin integrity.
Another key safety feature: Straps that are long enough to be
wrapped comfortably and securely around patients' thighs without
causing constriction. In addition, footboards attach to the foot of the
bed to prevent patients from sliding down when the surface is articu-
lated to reverse Trendelenburg.
Our table cost about $75,000. Money shouldn't matter when patient
safety is at stake, but it's a significant consideration because we're
running a surgical business that needs to be profitable. Sure, we
invested a lot in the new table, but consider the revenue we'd lose if
we could no longer, in good conscience, schedule surgeries for the
patients who present for surgery weighing more than 400 pounds.
Because you can't put a price tag on patient safety, investing in a table
that can accommodate
heavier patients
shouldn't be a difficult
decision. Focus
instead on making the
best purchase based
on functionality, safety
features and weight
capacity.
Decide which table
makes the most finan-
cial sense for your
facility only after you
identify the model that
hits on those essential
features. Can you
