Operating tables have an essential role in the surgical theater because they contribute to the patient’s safety and comfort during surgery. Since the beginning of the development of medical devices for surgery, functionality and design of surgical tables have improved, with the constant goal of accommodating and conforming to the patient’s body in order to avoid the manifestation of pressure, friction and shear forces. However, many everyday used and gold-standard surgical tables display a lack of customization, most of all when patients' morphologies and weights are different from the typical standard body proportions. A range of $9.1 billion to $11 billion is spent in the United States each year for treating the pressure injuries caused by this inefficiency.
