MENTOR, OHIO - STERIS Corporation will introduce three new general surgical tables that balance extraordinary technological capabilities with cost-saving versatility and value at this year's AORN Congress. The industry-leading STERIS surgical table family now includes the new STERIS 4085 and 5085 Surgical Tables, and will also include the revolutionary STERIS 5085 SRT Surgical Table,* the world's first sliding, rotating and transporting table for surgical suites. Each new platform provides a vast range of imaging and procedural capabilities along with opportunities for heightened efficiency, safety, and annual cost savings.

"It's no longer enough to design a flexible surgical table," states Bill O'Riordan, vice president and general manager of STERIS's Surgical business unit. "In fact, healthcare providers expect more today than ever before. Not only must companies produce highly versatile positioning platforms with uncompromising value, but as innovators we must also be able to keep pace with the latest imaging and minimally invasive surgical techniques. Even more, we must offer meaningful, practical innovations that help our Customers improve productivity, enhance patient and staff safety and manage down their costs. By adding these new tables to our line, we meet or exceed all of these important requirements."

The new STERIS tables provide what surgeons need to accommodate advanced surgical techniques and what OR managers want to improve their department's surgical productivity and safety. At the top of the line is the STERIS 5085 SRT table, a general surgical table that slides, rotates and transports patients, with a single caregiver, throughout the perioperative area. In the OR, the table's imaging capabilities virtually eliminate the need for dedicated specialty tables. Its generous weight, height and imaging ranges accommodate most every surgical service. And the innovative and intuitive data-rich hand control, weight-bearing drive wheel and 360° pivot mode help to make maneuvering, positioning and transporting patients a smooth, safe and ergonomic process. The STERIS 5085 SRT Surgical Table performs multiple duties in the surgical department and reduces the risk and time related to patient transfers. The STERIS 5085 SRT Surgical Table can drive significant gains in workflow efficiency, surgical productivity, and patient and staff safety, and promises to become the benchmark by which all other surgical tables are measured.
