Abstract: The present disclosure describes an operating table with an operating table column and a patient bearing surface arranged on the operating table column, wherein the operating table column comprises a column cladding with at least two rigid components arranged one above the other. The operating table column is designed and configured so that all movable parts of the operating table running inside the operating table column are completely covered laterally. An intermediate space extends from the upper edge of the two components of the column cladding arranged one above the other as far as the patient bearing surface, the intermediate space being a bellows-free space.

Abstract: A device for detecting the position of movable operating table components that has a multilayer sensor film that is attached to a first operating table component; a slider that is mounted on a second operating table component which is movable relative to the first operating table component, the slider being equipped with a pressure piece that elastically compresses the multilayer sensor film; and -n electrical circuit, which generates a signal in accordance with the position of the pressure piece on the sensor film.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for suction of liquids and/or particles from body orifices, wherein the device comprises a suction channel (16) through which the liquid and/or particles can be aspirated and a vacuum pump (14) for generating an underpressure in the suction channel (16). The suction channel (16) is provided with an opening for supplying additional air for adjusting the underpressure, wherein the volume flow of this additional air is adjustable via an additional air adjustment unit (24). Further, the device (10) has a manually operable adjustment unit (26) for adjusting the additional air adjustment unit (24), wherein the adjustment of the adjustment unit (26) in each case by a same preset adjustment way effects in each case the same change in the underpressure.
