The manufacturer reports that its Operon D 850 will:

- lift and articulate 450 kg throughout its entire motion range
- go lower than any other surgical table on the market, at 563 mm
- rise to a maximum table-top height of 1179 mm.

The table’s 420 mm longitudinal slide, carbon fibre table top and integrated X-ray cassette channel provide a platform for all types of imaging, and the removable head, back and leg sections enable customisation for all surgical procedures, Berchtold points out.

Special castors and the optional autodrive also ease movement between rooms.
