The Colussi CS 100 operating table for universal surgery has been designed as a systemic approach to the whole surgical aerea and for ergomic otptimization for both the patient, the surgeon, the assistents and maintenance.

The articulation of the universal table top consents all operating positions for patients of different size.

distant control limits to a minimum the persons on the scene and thus potential infective hasards

transparency is maximized in the Colussi table using few metal parts in the top structure

manual movement of the table is provided for the case of a black out

a connecting centre for wires and ducts avoids stumbling over cables on the floor

different positions are possible.

the surgeon can place his feet under the base to bring his baricenter near the operating zone lessing strain on his back muscles.

The operating room is the most cost intensive area in a hospital. Much can be done to optimize its functionality for surgeons assistents, patients and maintenance. The Colussi table has an interchangeble top so that a quick turnover of successive teams is possible preparing the second top with the next patient beforehand.

Some of the real problems in an actual operating situation are shown on the following slides.
