The Airplane-function of BRUMABA Operating Tables – Control Meets Comfort

The Correct Position Begins with Patient Preparation

The positioning techniques for patient preparation require both routine processes and a delicate touch. In addition to the correct position for the planned procedure or surgery, all possible accessibility and the alignment of the treating personnel must also be taken into account – this requires planning and flexibility.

The Airplane-function was developed at BRUMABA to optimize all internal OR processes. This involves tilting the operating table lengthways by 17° to the left or right, which allows the surgical field to be expanded with just a few simple steps. This makes the entire process plannable and adapts procedures in a compact space. At the same time, the surgeon does not have to contort unnecessarily and can respond to the individual circumstances of the patient – from planning to implementation and finalization of treatments and operations.

About the Ideal Patient Positioning for Various Procedures

Not every procedure is the same – due to a variety of necessary access options, specialist areas, surgical goals and OR conditions, it is essential that the OR table is prepared for every eventuality. The ideal patient positioning therefore not only provides for a stationary position, but must also remain flexible. For this reason, the Airplane-function of the BRUMABA operating tables allows an individual adjustment of the patient positioning, which can be easily changed even during the procedure or operation.

This naturally applies not only to a standard supine position, but also to a variety of other patient positions. In this way, not only can the best possible conditions for ventilation be created, but at the same time the overlying tissue can be protected and an unphysiological body position can be avoided – all indicators that have been proven to have a positive effect on the postoperative patient well-being. In order to be able to cover a broad range of applications with just one “piece of furniture”, the Airplane-function of the BRUMABA tables can be used in the following patient positions in particular:

A Relaxed Posture as an Investment in the Future

In addition to the patient’s well-being, a healthy posture of the treating personnel must also be at the top of the list. Uncomfortable “contortions” and a difficult-to-access operating field will damage both the back and health in the long term, which must be prevented at all costs – otherwise fatigue, pain and consequential damage are imminent.

The Airplane-function of the BRUMABA models adapts to your posture and makes patient positioning on the operating table much easier. In addition, quick and smooth adjustments are constantly possible, which contribute to the excellent ergonomics of various positioning techniques. Anyone who chooses an operating table from BRUMABA with Airplane-function is investing in the future – both in their own and in that of the patients.

Comprehensive and Compact – the Technical Details of the Airplane-function

So that you can optimally use all the advantages of the Airplane-function from BRUMABA, this feature is supplemented with many innovative and efficient properties. This makes it a true all-rounder when it comes to operating tables – from the construction to the operation and the possible accessories. The technical details of the models with Airplane-function include the following highlights in particular:

• Massive stainless steel construction: The operating tables from BRUMABA are made of a hygienic and durable stainless steel construction that allows a maximum patient weight of 300 kg. In combination with the Airplane-function, you are relying on safety, comfort and easy cleaning.
• Longitudinal axis tilt: The Airplane-function allows a longitudinal axis tilt of 17° – in both directions, so that you can achieve an axial inclination between -17° and +17°. The adjustment is stepless, which allows a completely harmonious process in the OR.
• Memory function: Thanks to the integrated memory function, you do not have to search for your preferred longitudinal axis tilt every time. Instead, up to 8 programs can be stored in the BRUMABA operating table, which can be called up at the touch of a button.
• Operation: Speaking of handling – the operation of the operating tables is also intuitive and uncomplicated. It is carried out as standard via a hand-held remote control, but can optionally be extended by a foot switch. This makes the body posture at work even more relaxed.
• Battery operation: In addition to the classic network operation, the Airplane-function of the BRUMABA models can also be used with a battery – this increases flexibility and creates more scope for treatment conditions. The operating table can be operated for up to two weeks per battery charge.

Our Operating Tables with Airplane-function at a Glance

The Airplane-function can be found in two operating table models from BRUMABA – this ensures more specificity in the selection and makes it possible to adapt the table to your individual requirements. So you don’t have to choose between back-friendly working and special technical details or features. The Airplane-function is therefore one of the fixed components of the following operating tables from BRUMABA:

• VARIUS: This universal all-rounder is ideally equipped for daily operations – the VARIUS operating table from BRUMABA combines the Airplane-function with split leg plates. In addition, the operating table is (partially) X-ray compatible and facilitates the workflow with a variety of well-thought-out features.
• PRIMUS: Diverse adjustment options meet a low entry height – the PRIMUS operating table from BRUMABA allows extreme height adjustment, so that even patients with limited mobility can be treated without effort. The Airplane-function also brings with it particularly back-friendly work.

Positioning Aids to Support the Airplane-function

Various positioning aids are offered as a specialist extension for your BRUMABA operating table with Airplane-function. This allows the new operating device to be adapted even better to your specialist area and at the same time expanded to include various positioning techniques. These include, for example, head plates and head shells (special head positioning shell) for aesthetic-plastic and dermatological procedures. Hair transplant supports, microsurgery rings and arm supports as well as leg holders are also included. This makes the change from your previous operating table to the Airplane models from BRUMABA even smoother and more uncomplicated.

Conclusion – Optimal Positioning Technology Thanks to the Airplane-function from BRUMABA

Both for the patients and for the treating specialists, an optimal positioning technique is the focus – this reduces the physical strain to a minimum and meets the highest demands on patient positioning. With the Airplane-function of the operating tables from BRUMABA, you go beyond conventional options.

The stepless longitudinal axis tilt of 17° provides an excellent way to better reach difficult-to-access surgical fields. This protects the back and enables the medical staff to work in a relaxed position for longer. In this way, you cover all requirements for patient preparation and positioning options without sacrificing intuitive operation. Thanks to the extreme height adjustment of the operating table, procedures and operations can be performed either sitting or standing.
