Stainless steel tables are used in every department and nearly every room of medical facilities around the world. Before jumping to conclusions about what you need, it is very important to understand what you are using the table for. Just because you had a certain style previously, it doesn’t meant there is not something better suited to your needs on the market today. This short guide below will help provide clarity around what is needed to meet your needs.

1. What is the primary use of the table?
   • Transporting items – A cart is recommended with a handle for ease of transport.
   • Using as a work surface for long periods of time – A work table that is sturdier and a little taller to make it easier to stand at for long periods of time.
   • A place to lay items out for display or to have ready if needed – An instrument/ back style table is a great fit.
   • A place to store instruments close to the surgical site. A height adjustable over bed table is the one you need.
2. What is the size and weight of the items are you putting on the table?
   • Very small instruments and tools – Just a standard flat top table with no back splash, guardrail, or lip works great.
   • Large bulky items – Adding a guardrail to the table is strongly recommended.
   • Transporting various items – A lip up on top and shelf as in a cart style is a good option.
3. Do you need more storage below the table top?
   • No – An H-brace Table is great
   • Yes – A lower shelf is recommended.
   • Definitely! as much as we can possibly get!
     • Multiple shelves can be added.
     • Stainless steel drawers can be mounted under any table top.
     • Plastic bins can be added under the top or shelf of any table.
4. Is the table to be stationary, mobile, or a combination of both?
   • Leg Levelers can be added to create a stationary table.
   • Locking casters come standard on some tables but can be added to any table.
