ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an operating equipment comprising an operating table.
Conventionally the operating table is mounted to a support post which is fixed relative to the floor and provided at the center of gravity of the operating table. The position of the patient to be operated in the operating theatre is therefore fixed and operating equipment must be available to the centre of the operating table as well as to its environment. In order to overcome this drawback mobile operating tables are used which, however, can be moved with difficulty only because of their weight, and their rolls standing on the floor cause germ spreading.
It is the object of the invention to provide an operating equipment with an operating table which overcomes the above-described drawbacks.
This objected is achieved by the operating equipment defined in claim
1
. Further developments of the invention are defined in the subclaims.
Further features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the description of an embodiment with reference to the figures.
