Abstract:
An operating table having a longitudinally adjustably slidable patient supporting table top, the various top sections of which have radio-translucent patient-support panels which, together with the slide arrangement, enable positioning of any top sections for alignment and use with an X-ray photographic or image intensifier apparatus. The table top slide arrangement incorporates four spaced linear ball bushings in which a slide shaft is slidable to enable the desired ease of top positioning to a desired longitudinal position while tilted, flat, and evenly or unevenly loaded or unloaded.
