Raising the bar in surgical innovation
Brandon Medical discusses the evolution of operating table technology and highlights a step forward with the launch of Anteris Ultra.
As surgical complexity grows and the pressure on clinical outcomes intensifies, the operating table has emerged as a vital axis in the evolution of the modern operating room. No longer just a passive platform, today’s surgical tables are expected to integrate with imaging, robotics, and digital workflows - supporting surgeons with pinpoint positioning, ensuring patient safety, and streamlining efficiency across specialties. From orthopaedics to neurosurgery, today’s
operating rooms demand modular, adaptable, and image-compatible tables. Surgeons expect seamless transitions between patient positions, precision-controlled articulation, and compatibility with robotic arms, and C-arms - all while handling increasingly heavier patients without compromising stability or safety. An extended range of operating tables is available upon request for fluoroscopy. In this changing landscape,
Anteris Ultra 700 from Brandon Medical are redefining expectations in UK operating rooms. Engineered in Germany and tailored to meet the high-performance and budget-conscious demands of NHS Trusts, these mobile operating tables embody the emerging global trends in surgical care delivery - focusing on flexibility, safety, and future-readiness.
Anteris Ultra - A SMART investment for future- ready theatres
Designed for high-demand surgical suites, the Anteris Ultra 700 is the flagship solution for procedures that leave no room for compromise. With an industry-leading maximum lifting capacity of 544 kg and the unique ability to manoeuvre due to three motorised joint segments, it’s built to support complex bariatric, neurosurgical, and orthopaedic procedures with pinpoint accuracy. Fully electric - no oil, no leaks - the 700 ensures minimal downtime and cleaner maintenance, while its 380 mm longitudinal slide and reverse mode capability
allow exceptional access for C-arm and robotic applications. Ergonomics and control
are built in: with height adjustability from 600 to 1,120 mm and intuitive
remote controls, the 700 adapts to every clinical and anatomical requirement. The modular build - with quick-change segment couplings - means this table transforms quickly between specialties, reducing turnover time and

improving throughput. Key benefits include:
l Electric over electrohydraulic: No oil, no leaks, no mess. With fully electric control, maintenance is minimal, and uptime is maximised - a vital advantage in high- demand NHS theatres.
l Up to three motorised joints: Unique ability to manoeuvre in the market, these enable precise, simultaneous, more finite control of upper back, lower back, and leg rests - including the ability to adjust the head electrically via the upper back segment.
l Enhanced imaging and robotic access: A longitudinal slide of 380 mm and smart base construction ensure compatibility with C-arms and even robotic systems like the Da Vinci platform.
l Electric: faster, precise, reactive, hands-off position setting
l Flexible electrical leg rest adjustment – allows precise single or parallel movement from -90° to +80°, also supports backrest adjustment in reverse positioning – ideal for shoulder arthroscopy.
l Height range from 600 mm to 1,120 mm: Ideal for modern surgical ergonomics and patient diversity.
l Reverse mode configuration: Quick-change coupling points allow for head-to-foot segment swaps, enabling better imaging and
