1.Hydraulic surgical table

 

DESCRIPTION

The Electro-Hydraulic driving mechanism assures smooth and quiet movements of the table top. Radio – Translucent Table Top for use with “C” Arm image intensifier. All the movements of the table including Height, Trendelenberg, Reverse Trendelenberg, Lateral Tilt, Height Adjustment, Back Section Adjustment are precisely and smoothly controlled by Portable Hand Control Unit / Remote with feather touch symbolic buttons. Built-in Kidney Bridge. Head and Leg section are detachable and manually operated by means of Ratchet system. Base and Column covers are made of Stainless Steel for easy cleaning and hygiene. Stainless steel side rails with clamps accept all standard accessories. Patient load capacity minimum 270 kg

2.Operation theater LED Top Light  

• Cleaning and decontamination of the surgical light
• Safety aspects of the optical filter (purpose and warning to prevent removal)
• Central illuminance
• Light field diameter
• Depth of illumination
• Shadow dilution
• Correlated colour temperature^[1] and colour rendering index

• Cleaning and disinfecting
• Handling of the lighthead in case of failure

3.Diathermy machine

 

 

 It is typically used surgically for 3 distinct purposes – cutting, fulguration (destructive coagulation with tissue charring) and coagulation. In surgical diathermy the patient forms part of the circuit, the alternating current passing through the tissue produces heat as it tries to overcome its tissue impedance.

 Introduction. Diathermy is the use of high frequency alternate polarity radio-wave electrical current to cut or coagulate tissue during surgery. It allows for precise incisions to be made with limited blood loss and is now used in nearly all surgical disciplines

Treating injuries with heat can increase blood flow and make connective tissue more flexible. It can also help minimize inflammation and reduce the incidence of edema, or fluid retention. By increasing blood flow to the site of an injury, the deep heat generated with diathermy can accelerate healing.
