surgical table

Procedure platform, adjustable

A surgical table is a specialized piece of medical furniture designed to support a patient during surgery.

Unlike ordinary tables or beds, surgical tables allow precise positioning—tilting, raising, lowering, and sectioning—to give surgeons optimal access to the operative site.

They're padded, easily cleaned, and equipped with attachments for restraints and accessories: The anesthesiologist positioned the patient on the surgical table before the procedure began.
