New Instrument A NEW OPEEATING TABLE. REVISED AND F. BALDWIN, COLtTMBTTS, OHIO. About five years ago a description appeared in The Journai,of a new operating table which I had devised after severalyears of study. Daily use of the table demonstrated, however,the existence of two or three weak points, which liave finallybeen eliminated, and several new features have been added, andnow the table seems to be about perfect. The main points of the table, as first presented, and whichare retained, are: 1. Simplicity of construction. 2. The fieldof operation not changing when the patient is put in theTrendelenburg position. 3. The position of the patient quickly. and easily changed by the anesthetist. 4. The patient main-tained in the Trendelenburg position by shoulder straps, or (as1 prefer) by tying the legs to the leg-piece. The recent improvements add the following points: 5. automatically drops to the proper anglewhen the patient is placed in the Trendelenburg The bridge, by which the patient is arched forward as de-sired in kidney, gall-bladder or stomaca work, maintains itsposition without catch of any kind and can be raised or low-ered from either side. 7. The copper hot-water reservoir (elec-trically heateO, if preferred), to keep the top of the tablewarm if desired for protracted operations on feeble patients.
