Why Do Top Orthopedics Choose Carbon Fiber Operating Tables? 2 Core Advantages

04-08-2026

There is a very common scene in the orthopedic operating room. The C-arm was pushed to the bedside, and the position was already set. When the film was taken, the shadow of the bed board fell right on the surgical area. The patient could only be moved and photographed again. After an operation, this process often has to be repeated several times.


What is the problem? It's on the material on the operating table. The bed plate and base of traditional operating tables are made of metal. When X-ray is irradiated, part of the ray is absorbed and the other part is tered, and various degrees of artifacts will always be left on the film. The carbon fiber operating table is largely used to solve the interference problem of intraoperative imaging.


Advantage 1: Good X-Ray Penetration and Clear Images

When X-rays pass through different materials, the degree of attenuation depends on the atomic number and density of the material. Metals have high atomic numbers and high density, and obvious ray attenuation, which is prone to artifacts on the film. The atomic composition of carbon fiber materials is mainly carbon, and its absorption of X-rays is much lower than that of metals, and its attenuation is reduced when the rays penetrate.


For surgeries that require real-time C-arm imaging during surgery, the clarity of the film directly affects the judgment. Taking posterior spinal internal fixation surgery as an example, the screw insertion angle of pedicle screws needs to be confirmed repeatedly, and the clarity of each image frame may affect the accuracy of screw placement. Another feature of carbon fiber materials is that there will be no obvious refractive deformation when rays penetrate. When photographed from the anterior, lateral or oblique positions, the image quality is relatively stable.


The HW-503-D of Harbin Hengwei Technology Co., Ltd. has a bed surface made of carbon fiber material. The bed surface will not leave recognizable shadows on the image during filming. The base adopts a T-shaped structure design, which leaves enough space for the C-arm to move and allows unlimited filming from all directions.

Advantage 2: Complete Body Adjustment Function to Meet the Needs of Multiple Departments

Orthopedic surgery has various requirements for body positions. Anterior cervical surgery requires supine position combined with neck extension, posterior lumbar surgery requires prone position combined with hip flexion, hip joint replacement requires stable lateral position, and lower limb trauma surgery often requires supine position combined with knee flexion. If the positional adjustment ability of the operating table is not enough, cushions and fixing belts can only be used to assist. The positional stability depends on the operator's experience.


Although the current mainstream operating tables are relatively mature in terms of position adjustment. However, the carbon fiber operating table is not only suitable for orthopedic use, but also suitable for general surgery, interventional surgery, cardiac catheterization, and spinal surgery. One piece of equipment meets the daily use needs of multiple departments. For hospitals with limited bed sizes and equipment budgets, equipment procurement and maintenance costs can be reduced. For large medical centers or teaching hospitals, there is no need to provide a separate table for intraoperative imaging, and the table arrangement in the operating room is more flexible.


The HW-503-D carbon fiber orthopedic operating table of Harbin Hengwei Technology Co., Ltd. has electric adjustment functions including table elevation angle, posterior segment tilt of 18°, left and right, 25° Trendelenberg position and anti-Trendelenberg position. The head plate and leg plate are manually adjusted, the positions can be exchanged, and the upper and lower V-shape positions can be realized. The size of the table top is 2050×520mm, and the height adjustment range is 750mm to 950 mm. The foot switch controls the base to lock, and the operator can set the height of the table according to his own habits.
