Anaesthesia Screen Extension 1002.59A0: a safe and ergonomic separation device for controlled surgery
The Anesthesia Screen Extension 1002.59A0 from Maquet, a subsidiary of the Getinge Group, is a solution designed to meet the growing demands for operating field organisation in acute care environments. During surgery, it is essential to maintain a clear boundary between the anaesthesia team and the surgical team, both for reasons of asepsis and for working comfort. This extension plays precisely this role as an intermediate partition, fitting between the patient's head, which is being treated by the anaesthetist, and the rest of the body, which is exposed to the surgical team.
The 1002.59A0 anaesthesia screen fits easily into the side rails of the operating table, providing stability and without interfering with other accessories mounted on the table. Its robust, all-stainless steel design makes it highly resistant to repeated cleaning, disinfection and the sterilising products used in the operating theatre. This durability is combined with a sleek design, with no sharp edges or hard-to-reach areas, facilitating maintenance and reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Its height and width are designed to provide a sufficient barrier without compromising access to the patient's head for the anaesthetist, while maintaining smooth visual and verbal communication between teams. The extension can be used in conjunction with a sterile surgical drape, creating a complete visual separation while remaining removable in case of urgent need for bilateral access. It is particularly useful in general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia, where protection of the surgical field is essential.
In addition to its compatibility with Maquet operating tables, the extension is designed to universal standards to integrate easily into existing operating environments without requiring any specific modifications. It can be quickly assembled and disassembled, making it ideal for procedures requiring flexible table configuration. Furthermore, it is lightweight and easy to transport, facilitating logistics management in hospital settings.
The Anesthesia Screen Extension 1002.59A0 is an essential component of modern surgical equipment, ensuring safety, hygiene, ergonomics and efficiency. It helps to improve quality standards in surgery while meeting the practical requirements of medical staff. It is a simple accessory in form, but crucial in function.
