MERKUR: The purely mechanical operating table with all the essential functions

The MERKUR is the basic version of the mobile operating tables. It is simple, yet versatile. All functions are manually operated; the back plate, leg plate, and Trendelenburg function is adjusted with gas spring support, the lift function using a foot-pumped hydraulic system.

That makes the MERKUR independent of electrical power, extremely maintenance-friendly and easy to handle - even under difficult conditions.

The MERKUR allows ideal working conditions and great flexibility in application, without the use of complex technology.

Gas-spring support for adjustment of the leg plates, back plate and Trendelenburg/ Anti-Trendelenburg. The lateral tilt is adjusted using a crank and the lift is actuated using a hydraulic foot pump.
