Lithotomy position
With the attachment of stirrups and the removal of the operating table leg plates, the arcus 501/601 models can be set up for gynaegological and urological surgery in the lithotomy position.
Urology position
A number of different types of stirrups can be used for Urology procedures. The built in fluid management tray can be moved into position from under the operating table and drained into a container or directly onto suction.
Abdominal position
With the operating table in the standard position, the split leg sections can be utilized to allow the surgeon close access to the surgical site from between the patients legs.
Nephrectomy position
As the operating table break is close to the column, a very low patient position can be achieved during flex of the table top. This in turn provides the surgeon with an ideal working height and removes the need for a platform.
Trauma position
With the attachment of the Orthopaedic/Trauma seat plate and relevant accessories, the arcus 501 model can be set up for traction surgery of the lower extremities.
Nailing of the femur, neck of femur and tibia can all be performed in the supine position.
Neuro position
With the operating table in the reverse position and the head plate replaced with a MAYFIELD® Skull Clamp system, Neuro surgery can be performed with excellent stability and unobstructed floor space for the surgeon access.
Shoulder position
With the attachment of the Shoulder Arthroscopy plate and narrow headrest, the arcus 501 model can be set up for shoulder surgery. The sliding shoulder supports can be removed to allow access to the surgical site.
