Like all of our products, patient safety and operating convenience are of primary importance.
Schaerer ARCUS in Detail
Maximum capacity
High patient weight (500/360kg - 1100/800lbs) for safety and all kind of patient positions, operations, and all surgical disciplines without any limitation due to high weight capacity compared with tables that have sliding table tops.
Maximum stability
Self-compensating dynamic floor lock system. The dynamic hydraulic floor lock system corrects uneven floors.
Maximum height adjustment of 23,8"/605 mm
With the large column range and advanced telescopic column design it can move safe and stable from very low 21,5"/545mm to very high 45"/1150mm (without pads).
Maximum flexibility
Schaerer ARCUS is a universal table, which can be used for all surgical disciplines. With all the unique features surgeons can work and do all treatments with no limitation.
Emergency Panel on the base
Sometimes there is no good access to the column of the table and it is easier access to the base of the table (head side).
Maximum accessibility
Maximum free area because of eccentric column design. Even in standard configuration the Arcus table has a huge x-ray window of 1240mm/48,8".
Maximum safety
Arcus surgical tables represent the ultimate safety standards in operating tables.
Arcus 501-701 tables engineered with airplane safety standards in mind, and they are the only tables available with a totally redundant backup system. Consisting of a completely independent power supply, separate batteries, control devices and motor/pump units.
Maximum patient comfort
High quality mattress for long operations and heavy weight patients. Also for normal seize/weight patients the quality of the pad is of importance and not primarily the thickness.
Manoeuverability
Slow mode function
Maximum quality with Swiss precision
