Frequently asked questions
A: Trendelenburg positioning tilts the table so the patient's head is lower than their pelvis, used in gynaecology to improve pelvic visualisation, in vascular medicine for venous assessment, and in emergency medicine for hypotension management. The Tanzanite offers up to 60 degrees of tilt for vascular Trendelenburg. Reverse Trendelenburg — head higher than feet — is used in upper abdominal and thoracic procedures.
A: The 220kg SWL on Alevo's Pro-Lift platform accommodates the vast majority of patients in specialist medical settings, including the higher-BMI populations common in cardiology and vascular clinics. This rating accounts for static patient weight and is tested per Australian standards. The 15-year structural warranty on Athlegen frames and 10-year warranty on Forme Medical frames reflect the engineering margin built into the load rating.
A: The Forme Medical range assigns each model to a clinical area: Sapphire for gynaecology, Tanzanite for vascular assessment, Malachite and Quartz for cardiology, Sphene for plastic surgery and dermatology, and Amethyst for obstetrics. Each model features section configurations, tilt ranges, and accessories specific to that discipline. All carry a 10-year frame warranty and are Australian-made.
A: A specialist treatment table includes purpose-built sections, mechanisms, or accessories designed for a specific medical discipline, beyond what a general treatment table offers. Examples include the Echo MB1's hinged cardiac drop section, the Sapphire's integrated gynaecology stirrups, and the Tanzanite's 60-degree vascular tilt. Alevo's Forme Medical range uses a gemstone naming system to identify each specialist configuration.
A dedicated cardio couch, such as the Malachite or Quartz, should include a specialized cut-away or drop-down section. This allows the transducer to be positioned more easily for clear cardiac views while maintaining patient comfort.
