Surgical Table

What Sets Our Surgical Tables Apart?

July 11, 2022
, , , Articles

Surgical tables are some of the longest-serving pieces of equipment hospitals can purchase. These tools are the centerpiece of operation rooms, so they should be designed correctly for the job that needs to be done. A good surgical table should be adaptable and functional, but there are also tables designed for certain procedures. At Auxo Medical, we provide a wide selection of surgical tables based on the demands of your specific practice.

Here are some of the key features that set our surgical tables apart:

What Sets Our Surgical Tables Apart

High Quality

One of the best things about our surgical tables is that they are made of the highest quality materials. We integrate brands such as Maquet, renowned for their surgical table technology. It is believed that of the approximate 700,000 surgeries performed every day globally, one-third of the operations happen on Maquet tables.

Easy to Use

Besides being high quality, our tables are quite easy to use. They are not only the center of operation room workflow but they are also effortlessly functional. The controls are specially designed to be easily maneuvered. The headrests, arm boards, and other attachments also attach and detach.

Comfortable

It is almost impossible to imagine surgical tables as luxury furniture, but comfort can affect the procedure at hand. Doctors and medical staff should choose surgical tables that are comfortable, safe, and effective at managing pressure points. Our tables are also designed to remain comfortable no matter what adaptations are required by a given procedure.

Our Table Designs

Auxo Medical’s tables are unique because they come in a variety of tailor-made designs. You can purchase a table that was made specifically for your specialized surgery. Each of the following tables was designed with convenience and practicality in mind:

Otology

Otologists tend to prefer tables that tilt or “airplane” on a lengthwise axis, which our tables can do. There are also tables specially designed for multi-specialty centers and orthopedic tables that require significantly more articulation and positioning, and radiolucence for intraoperative fluoroscopic imaging.

Cystoscopy and Urology

Surgical tables for cystoscopy and urology are designed to provide surgeons with an easy-to-operate table for delicate procedures. The tables provide precise control over different movements and reduce the time spent in surgery.

These tables’ design also helps cut down the risk of errors. They incorporate specific positioning functionality and precision foot controls to allow easier access to the area of treatment. The tables are also perfect for seed implantation and maximizing access to the C-arm when performing imaging procedures.

Orthopedic

Bone mass decreases as people age, leading to orthopedic ailments such as osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, dislocations, and fractures.

Orthopedic tables are designed to provide patients with greater comfort when undergoing procedures such as knee or hip replacement, myelograms, and osteosynthesis. They are also designed with integrated traction bars to treat traumatology extension.

Neurology

Neurology procedures require the highest form of precision. Our neurology tables are designed with a wide range of features to offer the best possible patient access. Their exceptional positioning allows doctors to perform surgical procedures with ease. Another incredible feature of neurology tables is that they give doctors precise control over their patients’ movements.

Imaging

Although almost all surgical tables can provide doctors with a certain level of imaging support, the most advanced medical imaging procedures require a specialized imaging table. It allows doctors to perform imaging procedures that require longitudinal/lateral float and Trendelenburg/reverse Trendelenburg.

These tables also allow for specialized 3D imaging and fluoroscopy procedures, including vascular and catheter tray extension such as lateral tilt and cardiovascular procedures.

General Surgery

General surgery tables are perhaps the most used tables in the operation room. For this reason, our tables are not only of the highest quality but also integrate a wide range of features required to guarantee successful surgical procedures. They are designed with angle adjustment capabilities to help doctors easily reach surgical areas.

Installation Support

Surgical tables perform in their top-notch condition when they are properly installed. At Auxo Medical, we provide full-service installation support so that you don’t have to worry about movement errors while performing surgical operations. If you don’t want to hire an installation consultant, our new equipment also comes with onboarding materials that guide you through proper installation.

Ordering Surgical Tables

Surgical tables should be precise and of the highest quality, like all medical procedures and equipment. Whether you are looking for orthopedic or otologist tables, your ideal table should be capable of providing you with all the features you need to conduct a successful surgery.

Contact us at Auxo Medical for medical equipment solutions or repair services. We will work with you to narrow down the functional demands of your practice and which model would work best for you. We’re also happy to provide you with training courses on how to use each feature of our equipment.

Inside Look: The Role of a Biomedical Technician  

April 25, 2022
, , , Articles

What does a Biomedical Technician (BMT) do? 

It cannot be overstated just how critical the role is of a BMT. Professionals in this line of work are responsible for servicing, maintaining, and repairing medical equipment, machines and devices that touch the lives of patients all over the planet.  

Their responsibility ranges from handling preventative measures such as cleaning, as well as calibrating various functions of the equipment. 

A BMT is acutely knowledgeable of machines throughout hospitals and healthcare facilities that they can confidently disassemble, make repairs to, and then reassemble equipment. In order to maintain this level of expertise and ensure optimal levels of safety are in place for both staff and patients, the BMT must stay current in modern technologies within the medical field. 

Certainly there will be times of stress, when perhaps a machine needs immediate tending to, so it’s important for the technician to remain calm under pressure. 

Some examples of equipment that a BMT might work with are defibrillators, monitors, x-ray machines, and other speciality machines you’d find in dental or optometry offices. 

In addition to technicians using their hands, they will also be adept at working with electric tools, computer software, and smoldering irons in order to service advanced medical equipment.  

Where are BMTs employed? 

BMTs typically work inside hospitals, healthcare facilities, and other specialty medical practices. Due to the nature of many healthcare businesses being open seven days a week, sometimes even overnight, there are BMTs who will be required to stay “on-call” for emergency situations, i.e. when repairs are promptly needed.  

Being responsible for repairing equipment within the medical community means that a BMT could come into direct or indirect contact with patients, which opens up the doors for exposure to illness or disease. Of course safety measures are taken seriously to protect technicians in these situations. 

There are instances when repairs are not urgent or life-threatening such as fine-tuning a wheelchair, however some more complex equipment may require regular assessments and maintenance in an effort to avoid major issues. 

Are there any educational or certification requirements? 

As a general rule, earning an associate’s degree in either biomedical technology or biomedical engineering is appropriate. In some cases, when working with speciality equipment, a bachelor’s degree could be necessary; that degree could also enable more opportunities for advancement. 

Additionally, BMTs may be asked to take certification exams, but at this time, technicians are not legally required to to be certified. Some BMTs will focus on an area of speciality, while others have training to service a vast amount of machines within the medical industry. 

It is feasible to be hired for a BMT job that only requires on-the-job training, but those roles will likely consist of straightforward, simple repair jobs.  

Also, due to the nature of ongoing advancement within the medical space, continuing education is a significant aspect to the job. Biomedical technicians must stay informed and on top of industry changes. Having a team of qualified BMTs is pivotal in order to keep up with the ever-evolving healthcare industry. 

From time to time, Auxo Medical hires BMTs — be sure to check out our job postings page for more information.

State of the Union Address: Medical Devices 

April 22, 2022

Here are top 3 most notable difficulties to have plagued the medical device manufacturing industry in recent years: 

1. Rising Production Expenses 

Due to a variety of reasons, the United States is experiencing one of the toughest supply chain setbacks in ages.  

We learned in Economics 101 class that supply drives demand, and demand drives price tags. When it comes to taking a medical device from a concept, to a tangible product, the effort is nothing short of monumental. The list of expenses is also not a short one — from research, to design costs, to labor, to raw materials, the process isn’t cheap. 

Once the device is ready to be used in the market place, the retail price is generally derived from the cost incurred on the frontend.

Medical Devices: Supply Chain Issues & Improvement Efforts 

March 29, 2022
, Articles

There are countless lessons learned since the pandemic began in early 2020. One of those learnings include the importance of medical devices — to both healthcare systems as well as public health in general. 

Not only did shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) cause a frenzy, but so did other essential devices such as ventilators, testing supplies, and tools necessary to conduct vaccines. 

The coronavirus pandemic showed tremendous vulnerability in our supply chain, both nationally and abroad. It also exposed just how much the United States relies on devices and raw materials imported from other countries, including China.

Case Study: Sterile Processing Repairs & Maintenance

March 21, 2022

Any hospital would agree that sterile processing departments are the artery of their facility. Without a fully functioning, efficient operation in place, the business could not effectively perform their duties, and subsequently would not generate revenue.  

Because sterile processing is integral to practically every facet of healthcare delivery, when a machine malfunctions or needs some level of maintenance, it slows down the bottom line — treating patients. 

At the end of 2020, Auxo Medical was procured by a regional healthcare system with 11 hospitals in the United States to replace their OEM service support. Auxo became the sole provider for preventative maintenance (PM) as well as repair support. 

This healthcare system’s units had been disorganized prior to Auxo Medical’s involvement; servicing the units had been a headache and caused a cascade effect of problems whenever maintenance was necessary.

Melatonin Supplements: Friend or Foe?

March 1, 2022

A research letter, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), reports that Americans are heavily relying on melatonin supplements to help them sleep. 

What is Melatonin? 

Our bodies naturally produce a hormone, melatonin. It is made by the pineal gland in our brains, but is also found in other areas including our eyes and gastrointestinal tract. 

It is commonly referred to as the sleep hormone since it’s associated with helping people fall asleep faster. Yet, it’s important to understand that the hormone is not going to nudge you into a coma-like state. Melatonin’s role is to simply prompt your body that it’s time to unwind and fall asleep by governing your circadian rhythm.

Defibrillator Compliance 

February 22, 2022

As of February 3, 2022, accessories for non-FDA approved automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and professional defibrillators, “must no longer be supported by manufacturers,” according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

The FDA informed the manufacturers, distributors, owners, users and prescribers of all AEDs and defibrillators about this update.  

For a unit to be considered non-FDA approved, that means the manufacturer failed to file for a premarket approval application (PMA) prior to the modified deadline of February 3, 2022. The revised compliance policy deadline was intended to give facilities additional time, especially during the coronavirus pandemic, to acquire FDA-approved AEDs, and for manufacturers to file the necessary PMA for accessories.

Tracking COVID-19

January 31, 2022

In the United States, more than 95% of all confirmed COVID-19 cases are believed to be the variant known as Omicron.

According to the CDC, the accelerated rate of growth in Omicron infections is considered to be a result of multiple factors — the variant’s elevated transmissibility as well as its power to evade immunity by way of a previous infection or vaccination.

So where do all of these insights and data come from? They’re the result of invaluable efforts taking place ‘behind the scenes’ through the process of tracking information on the virus.

Collecting & Analyzing Information

Gathering data to track COVID-19 cases is a fluid, collaborative process that has evolved over the course of this global coronavirus pandemic.

One example of tracking efforts underway is between Walgreens and their lab-testing partner, Aegis Sciences. The company has developed a novel tracking tool that pin-points, in real time, the extent of existing and emerging variants. This 95% statistic of the Omicron variant mentioned above is based on data procured and monitored from the national retain chain and pharmacy, by way of positive test results among their thousands of locations.
