ABSTRACT:
A transfer trolley for transferring a patient onto an operating table has a removable patient support platform divided across its length into two parts coupled by a hinge. A rod and cylinder mounted at their ends to respective parts of the platform are lockable to lock the two parts of the platform and prevent bending at the hinge while on the trolley. The trolley has two arms for supporting the platform, which either extend laterally under the platform on opposite sides of the hinge or longitudinally and traversing the region of the hinge. A control unit on the trolley has infra-red emitters that emit signals to sensors on the table, to control operation of the table, only when the trolley is correctly located for transfer.
