Precision platforms for modern surgery
Brandon Medical unveils an innovative electro-hydraulic operating table that combines exceptional performance, versatility, and value.
In the demanding environment of the UK operating theatre, the operating table is far more than a surface on which to work. It is a sophisticated, dynamic platform that directly influences surgical access, patient safety, imaging quality, team ergonomics, and overall procedural efficiency. A well specified table can reduce setup times, minimise repositioning, support complex imaging, and help protect both patients and staff during long or technically challenging cases. As hospitals balance clinical excellence, throughput pressures, and tightening budgets, choosing the right table has become a strategic decision for theatre teams, estates departments, and procurement leads alike. Brandon Medical, with over 75 years of experience designing and supporting equipment for UK operating theatres, brings deep practical insight to this challenge. Its lighting, pendants, and operating tables are developed with real world NHS and independent sector needs in mind. The latest addition to the company’s portfolio, the Anteris™ Revo 580, is a flagship electro-hydraulic operating table that combines exceptional performance, versatility, and value. Assembled in the UK and backed by our national team, it offers a compelling option for hospitals seeking reliable, future-ready surgical support.
A complete theatre ecosystem from a trusted British partner Brandon Medical’s reputation rests on delivering coherent, high-quality solutions across the operating theatre. This engineering philosophy and commitment to UK support now extends to operating tables through the Anteris Revo series. The Revo family provides scalable choices:
from the versatile Revo 330 and 350 for general use, to the Revo 570, and the premium Revo 580 flagship. This tiered approach allows hospitals to standardise where possible while matching capability precisely to caseload, whether in district general hospitals or specialist centres. What sets the Revo 580 apart is its combination of power, precision, and intelligent safety features, making it particularly well suited to high-volume, multi-specialty theatres.
Engineered for demanding surgical environments: power and precision The Revo 580 is built for the realities of contemporary surgery. With full electro- hydraulic control across eight powered movements, a 400mm powered longitudinal shift, and a robust X-base, it delivers the flexibility and stability that complex procedures demand. Key clinical advantages include:
l Outstanding imaging access and excellent C-arm compatibility supporting hybrid and imaging intensive workflows. Configurations allow full-body imaging windows, critical for orthopaedics, vascular work, and trauma cases where intraoperative verification is essential without interrupting the procedure.
l High load capacity and stability with a 460kg static and 300kg dynamic load rating, the table comfortably accommodates bariatric

patients while maintaining rock-solid performance even under traction or with heavy instrumentation. Smart safety sensors help prevent collisions or incorrect assembly, adding reassurance during busy lists.
l Precise, intuitive positioning enables surgeons and anaesthetists to make smooth, rapid adjustments, with three selectable speed modes – High, Medium and Precise – and positioning accuracy down to 0.5 mm / 0.1°. Designed from the anaesthetist’s perspective, the REVO hand controller features a clear display, up to 10 programmable memory settings, and two dedicated one-touch positions: beach chair and emergency CPR. Optional foot controls and a backup column panel further enhance usability, while supporting sterile working protocols.
l Modularity and versatility: The five-section tabletop supports a wide range of positions. Trendelenburg, reverse Trendelenburg, lateral tilt, flex/reflex, and reverse orientation. Removable sections and a comprehensive range of accessories make it adaptable for orthopaedics (with traction options), urology and gynaecology (lithotomy), neurosurgery, general surgery, and more.
l Infection control: From a facilities perspective, the design prioritises infection
