Emergence of Covid-19 Has Led To Increase in Demand for Operating Tables in the United States
An operating room encompasses equipment such as operating tables,
operating room lights, surgical booms, and operating room integration systems
and surgical imaging displays. Operating room equipment include, operating
table, OR lights, anesthesia machine, anesthesia cart, a stainless steel table
for sterile instrument, electronic monitor, pulse oximeter machine, automated
blood pressure measuring machine, electrocautery machine, a heart-lung machine,
and others.
Operating tables are
very important for the operations of the surgery, as well as for the patient.
They are often used for blood tests or other procedures that may require a
quick and easy blood draw and can be very useful in this regard. The most
common tables for use by doctors is the type that is portable. These tables
often come in smaller sizes, so that they can be brought with them to different
operating rooms that they may need to operate in. These are often called
"bendable" tables and they usually fold up for storage when not in
use.
Operating tables have become more popular in the medical field and
are used in many different areas of the medical field. They are a vital part of
the medical field and should be utilized properly so as to keep all areas of
the patient's body as comfortable as possible. These instruments can come in a
variety of sizes and colors so that they can be used for more than just a
simple blood test. For example, many people will need a blood pressure
measurement as well as a blood sample for their physician in order to make an
accurate diagnosis. This is why many people use an operating room table when having
these procedures done.
The emergence of Covid-19 has led to increase in demand for operating
tables in the United States. In March 2020, Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. announced
that the company is focused on doubling the production of critical care
products. Moreover, increasing investment in ambulatory surgery centers is also
boost demand for operating tables. In June 2019, IU Health announced to start a
US$ 20 million ambulatory surgery center with five operating rooms and five
procedure rooms for more than 10 different specialties in Fort Wayne, Indiana. However,
the cost of operating room equipment is a major issue in their adoption. For
instance, a healthcare provider seeking to purchase a general operating table
has to pay an average of US$ 30,000 and US$ 35,000 while for a specialty
operating table.
