Abstract: A small surgical table which can be attached directly to a C-arm X-ray machine. A flat plate of X-ray transparent material is provided as a surface on which surgical procedures can be performed. Clamping features are provided on the underside of this plate to allow its attachment to an image intensifier or an emitter of a C-arm machine. The clamping features are preferably made readily adjustable in order to allow the attachment of the surgical table to a wide variety of X-ray machines. The invention is particularly suited for surgeries involving a small portion of the anatomy—such as the hand. The direct attachment of the surgical table to the X-ray machine allows the surgeon to conveniently visualize the internal placement of orthopaedic hardware and other features both before and during the surgery.

Abstract: A sterilizing drape which can be used to cover a C-arm machine in combination with a small surgical table. The invention assumes that a small surgical table has been affixed to the lower portion of a C-arm machine. The sterilizing drape covers the exposed portions of the C-arm machine as well as the small surgical table. An integrated version is disclosed which covers the C-arm machine, the small surgical table, and the patient. Other embodiments are disclosed which cover these areas using separate pieces.
