The Plantech operation table is one of the equipments manufactured by Plantech Medical Systems (Ahmedabad based company) which is used in our operation theater. It has an iron cord connected to the fixing clamps controlled by the pressing knobs or lever. The cord is a vital part of its mechanical system to elevate or reduce the table height. The cord costs around 2000 INR and if damaged, it is not immediately available. Because of the high volume of surgeries that we do, this cord often gets damaged and so, it needs to be replaced frequently. Our Instruments department has come up with a cost effective and quality idea to resolve this issue. The cord which is present in the brake wiring system of TVS 50 moped bike is used for this purpose. This cord is readily available, easy to replace and costs just 50 INR. The bike cord is made of iron wire which is as effective as iron cord used in the operation table. This cord is fixed with a brass 3 pin top which is then connected to the knob or lever and helps in efficient mechanics of the operation table.
