Description

Product Summary

Stainless steel instrument tables — also known as back tables — built to perform in the operating room day after day. With over 20 years of manufacturing experience, these tables incorporate thoughtfully engineered details that deliver measurable advantages in rigidity, stability, and durability that go beyond what is visible at first glance.

Each table is constructed from 16-gauge stainless steel, features a 1½" revealed edge for maximum top rigidity, and rolls on 3" neoprene casters included as standard. Square legs, welded reinforcing supports, and sound-dampening cushions round out a design purpose-built for the demands of the surgical suite.

Key Features

16-Gauge Construction

25% thicker than standard 18-gauge tables — reduces top deflection under heavy instrument loads.

1½" Revealed Edge

Deep turned-down edge greatly enhances rigidity of both the top and shelf for lasting OR durability.

3" Neoprene Casters

Grip smooth floors even when wet — roll quietly instead of sliding or skidding like hard plastic casters.

Square Leg Design

1" square tubing contains 25% more stainless steel than equivalent round tube, with greater weld surface area.

Welded Reinforcing Supports

Fitted under tops and shelves on tables longer than 4′ with sound-dampening cushions to prevent vibration during transport.

Custom Configurations Available

Standard and fully custom back table options available to suit any OR layout or workflow requirement.

Key Advantages

Revealed Edge — Superior Top Rigidity

The 1½" revealed edge is one of the most impactful structural details on these tables. The more material turned down at the edge, the stronger and stiffer the surface becomes. This translates directly to a top that resists flex and holds its shape under the weight of a full instrument load — essential for a reliable surgical field.

Neoprene Casters — Included as Standard

Rather than offering neoprene casters as a costly upgrade, they are built into the standard price of every table. Neoprene grips smooth OR floors even when wet, eliminating the sliding and skidding associated with hard black plastic casters. The result is quieter, more controlled movement throughout the surgical suite.

Thicker Gauge Steel — Less Deflection Under Load

At 16 gauge (0.0625"), the top and shelf are 25% thicker than the 18-gauge (0.050") material used in many competing tables. This additional material thickness directly reduces deflection when heavy instrument sets are placed on the surface, keeping your sterile field stable and level throughout a procedure.
