A table with so little height travel suits settings where one team uses it for one kind of work. Small hospitals, clinics running minor theatre lists, field facilities and training environments can all make good use of a simple, power-free table. Where several surgeons of different heights share the theatre, the 100 mm range becomes the limiting factor. In that case, a table with more travel, such as the HS-007F, may serve better, and a height survey of the surgical team is worth doing before choosing.
The accessories cover the standard positions. Knee crutches support lithotomy for gynaecological and urological cases, and the upright and horizontal supports hold patients on their side. The arm board serves supine procedures. Positioning takes more effort than on a powered table, especially for heavier patients or when positions change frequently during a case. Because the sheet does not explain the controls, staff will need clear instruction before first use, and labelling each control during commissioning would help avoid mid-case mistakes.
The unknowns are the ones that matter on any table. They include the rated load, the tilt and section ranges, the top's material and pads, and a maintenance schedule for the mechanism. The 480 mm top is narrow, so the load rating matters for larger patients in particular.
Medigear.uk obtains those details from Blackstone, together with an explanation of the lift mechanism. It then passes the answers to the theatre manager, who can judge whether the table fits the planned lists and the team that will use it.
