Abstract: An articulated surgical table configured to alternatively receive an orthopedic attachment and a scanning table attachment. The orthopedic attachment is provided with a frame having a plurality of mounting points for mounting two detachable spar members. Either or both of the spar members may be mounted to the frame to provide the desired level of patient support and operator access. In addition, a pelvic support plate is supported on top of the frame and is formed with an asymmetrical construction. The pelvic support plate includes a cutout area on a front corner thereof for permitting additional access to the affected or broken leg of a patient. The plate may be flipped over to position the cutout area on the opposite side of the patient, depending on the location of the affected leg.

Abstract: A surgical table including a control system for facilitating manipulation of the table top when a patient is a normal and a reversed position. The table includes moveable table top sections whereby the table may be reconfigured from a normal configuration for receiving a patient with the patient's head at a head end of the table to a reversed configuration with the patient's head located at the foot end of the table. The controller is adapted to sense the configuration of the table and automatically reverse selectable functions for movement of the table when the table is in the reverse configuration.

Abstract: A covered cushion is provided for continuously supporting a patient over gaps which occur between adjacent sections of a surgical table. The cushion is formed with a soft foam upper layer and a flexible lower layer which is sufficiently rigid to form a support for continuously supporting the weight of a patient across a gap located between adjacent sections of the surgical table. The lower layer is formed from an x-ray transparent sheet of material such as polypropylene, with a thickness of approximately 2 mm such that the polypropylene layer is flexible while also sufficiently rigid to form a bridge supporting a patient across the gap in the surgical table. The upper layer and lower layer are surrounded by an outer cover formed of an upholstery material, such as vinyl.
