AMSCO® Orthographic II ORTHOPEDIC SURGERY TABLE

The Amsco Orthographic II Orthopedic and Fracture Table is designed primarily for hip and lower extremity
procedures: hip pinning, ender nailing, intramedullary nailing of femur, tibia, and fibula surgery. With optional
accessories the table also allows for certain upper body procedures: shoulder surgery, non-operative myelograms,
and hip spicas.

DESCRIPTION

The Amsco Orthographic II Orthopedic and Fracture Table is a mobile, manually operated orthopedic table. It
provides flexible, easytouse, articulated posturing of the patient for constructive and reparative orthopedic
procedures.The table folds into a neat, compact package (29 x 27-1/2 x 41"[737 x 699 x 1041 mm]) when not in
use.

FEATURES

Base affords adequate, comfortable toe space on both sides with sufficient space to receive the support blades of a
Mayo-type instrument stand. Raise/lower, and floor lock pedals are at the head end. Height-adjustable floor
locks,one at each corner, and four swivel casters are provided Top of base has an easy-to-clean stainless-steel
cover. A combination NFPA-compliant patient grounding post/IEC 601-1 potential equalization post is also provided
at the foot end of the base.

Pedestal includes tabletop lift cylinder, and support column with bearing-mounted saddle frame. Saddle is steel to
improve stiffness. Lift cylinder and support column are fully enclosed by stainless-steel telescoping shrouds. Each
shroud is one-piece construction to guard against foreign matter entering elevating mechanism.

Superstructure houses Lateral Tilt and Trendelenburg mechanisms, bearing mounted to elevating mechanism. It is
covered with a two-piece RIM (Reaction Injection Molding) molded, high density urethane shroud. The shroud is
finished with non-conductive urethane paint. Two manual crank handles located on head end of the table control
Tilt and Trendelenburg.

Tabletop contains translating support rods and locking mechanism. Tabletop can be translated 4" (101 mm) to
either side of center to aid in patient transfer and positioning. Translation can be actuated and locked from either
side of the table. Two stainless-steel rails for attaching accessories run the entire length of the top. Rails will also
accept standard accessories. Tabletop is supplied with a hook fastener strip to fasten the pad.

Abductor bars, at foot end of superstructure, are manufactured from a carbon fiber composite material which
permits X-Ray transmission and will interface with image amplification systems. Abductor bars feature two-
sectional construction for lower extremity positioning flexibility. Each abductor bar has two rotating metal joints
that provide planar rotation, and can be locked in 7-1/2° increments, from 0 to 180°, by easy-to-use actuating
handles.

Pressure management pads help reduces the incidence of pressure sores that may occur during long procedures.
The torso, hip rest, and sacral rest pads incorporate tri level technology (TLT), relieving pressure on the sacral
coccygeal area while providing cushioned support for other body parts.

OPERATING CONTROLS

Foot pedals are easily actuated and are clearly identified. Located at head end of table, they include:
• Lock/Unlock - to engage/disengage floor locks.
• Raise/Lower - to raise or lower the tabletop.

Tabletop positioning controls are mounted at the head end of the table, at a convenient height on the
superstructure. They are arranged for simple, foolproof actuation and include:
• Trendelenburg to lower or raise the head end of superstructure from horizontal.
• Lateral Tilt to tilt superstructure right or left from horizontal.

TECHNICAL DATA

This table is designed to support up to a 400-pound (181 kg) patient in correct anatomic position for various
procedures throughout the complete range of table movements. Or a 300-pound (136 kg) patient in reverse
orientation
