Hill-Rom launches new mobile surgical table

Hill-Rom has introduced the TruSystem 3000 Mobile Operating Table, a mobile table equipped with ergonomic handling, long-term reliability and patient safety. The conventional head and leg sections are detachable through a coupling system.

"The TruSystem 3000 Mobile Operating Table is a universal table that is suitable for various surgical disciplines," said Dirk Ehlers, PhD, president of Hill-Rom Surgical Solutions. "It can be customized for different surgical procedures due to Hill-Rom's broad range of available patient positioning components and accessories, addressing hospitals' needs for higher patient acquisition and case numbers, while maintaining safety and efficiency."  

The user interfaces feature recognizable icons, colors and symbols. In addition, the backlit display of the remote control enhances use and safety in low-light surgical environments. The 595-lbs. weight limit also opens more doors to treat a wider variety of patient and surgical procedures.

"Our ideas for this table did not stop at the ergonomic and safe handling in day-to-day clinical use. We also made this table very easy to service to ensure long-term performance and reduce maintenance cost as well as keep disruption of the OR schedule to a minimum," said Ehlers.
