The 6500 further extends the range of applications of the 6000 series. It increases the patient weight limit to 500 lb and also increases the degree of articulation offered. It also incorporates a powered kidney bridge as standard, along with fully powered brakes and a “return-to-level” function, all of which are controlled from the hand control.
The rotating top of 210 degrees further enhances C-arm and microscope access, along with more leg room for a seated surgeon and in many cases, better surgical access. A stable footprint and rigid surface provide assurance that the patient position will be maintained as desired.
The 6500 model features a detachable head section that can be inserted into the end of the foot section to provide support for legs when positioning patient for lithotomy procedures. It is also equipped with a manual brake release that is independent of the main controls and requires no power to operate.
