ABSTRACT:
A drainage platform for collecting fluids discarded during surgical operations provides a comfortable non-slip surface upon which several medical personnel may stand during an operation. The portable surgical drainage platform includes two outer support trays which are attached by overlapping hinges to a central support tray to form a fluid collection basin. A drain suction manifold is connected to the collection basis to permit single source suction of fluid from all of the support trays. Stationary rollers are fixed to the central support tray and extend downwardly for constant engagement with a ground surface. A selectively extendable and retractable roller mechanism is situated below each outer support tray, which is capable of supporting the overlying support tray to facilitate rolling movement of the platform. The roller mechanisms are alternatively capable of lowering the outer support trays to place them on the ground surface and immobilize the platform. Further, for the convenience of the surgeon, fully adjustable instrument trays and stands are provided.
