The sono-echocardiography tables are available with a 4-section tabletop and fixed height. The adjustable roof position allows the spine to be relieved, for example. Ultrasound can also be used to visualize nerves and the structure of the spine. Sonographically guided injections into vertebral joints or nerve roots can reduce pain and thus enable further forms of treatment such as physiotherapy. The head-down position adjustment is preferred for sonographic assessments of the soft tissues of the neck, for example the thyroid gland. The cutout in the lying surface is specially designed for cardiac examinations using a transducer.
Features
As the upholstery sections can be controlled separately, a horizontal upholstery position can be set from the roof position via the Trendelenburg or anti-Trendelenburg positions. There is a cutout in the back section for cardiac examination using a transducer. The corresponding padding insert (slide-in) is included with every sono-echocardiography table.
The wide base frame ensures high stability. The four adjustable feet are fitted with floor protectors (impact caps).
The reclining halves, head/back and leg sections can be continuously adjusted positively and negatively (+20°/-17°) by means of gas pressure springs and locked by clamping handles using clamping rod mechanisms. The required examination positions must be set beforehand, i.e. without the patient.
The most heavily loaded half of the table, the head/back section, can be continuously adjusted positively and negatively (+20°/-17°) using an electric motor. It is controlled by a foot switch (alternatively - at no extra charge - by hand switch).
