The new MARS table generation

The new MARS combines the advantages of the successful previous model with features for new market demands. Because patients in the United States and Europe have become increasingly corpulent, MARS is equipped to handle very large and heavy patients: The new table supports up to 360 kg. The electromotor drive system of MARS allows the staff to maneuver even the heaviest bodies comfortably. The motor’s power is also helpful during braking. The tabletop can be shifted longitudinally by up to 250 mm. MARS fits every body size and – on top of that – is compatible with intraoperative diagnostic devices.

New low version for seated operations

The new low version of MARS, which can be lowered to 600 mm, offers additional flexibility. In disciplines like ophthalmology, neurology and ENT, where operations must be performed while sitting, surgeons can work comfortably with a maximum range of movement.

Customized models for international markets

As a universal talent combining several specialty tables into one, MARS is well-suited for a wide variety of surgical disciplines and applications. Its engineers have also devised and implemented country-specific features. The new low version, for example, is designed for Asian markets. Other versions take into account American requirements. They have factored in voltage, rail dimensions and plate configurations desired in the U.S. This makes MARS practical and user-friendly for surgical teams and hospital staff in various countries around the world.

Despite the expanded features, one thing has not changed with MARS: the price. While the table saves the surgical team from any unnecessary effort, the hospital saves on added costs.

Tried-and-true functions stay true

MARS retains all features that have proved themselves in the predecessor model. And TRUMPF has used only high-quality material and sound manufacturing methods in the successor. Moreover, MARS can be quickly converted for widely varying positions. A tight coupling system securely connects all additional components to the base module. The surgical team has the option of controlling the new tables by infrared technology, foot switch, cable remote control or operating panel. And the services provided still include computerized remote diagnosis and regular online software updates.
