The table keeps the patient in place while the medical team operates.
Anesthesia Machine
A device that provides a balanced mixture of anesthesia and life sustaining gases.
It delivers general anesthesia to patient as they undergo medical procedure

Oxygen Concentrators
It produce oxygen by filtering the oxygen out of the ambient air, can be an alternative where oxygen cylinders are not available or quite expensive to be refilling the cylinder.
In the operating theatre the oxygen concentrator is connected directly to the anesthesia machine.
C-arm Machine
Ideally used in places where greater flexibility is required,
used in orthopedic procedures cardiac and angiography studies and in therapeutic studies including stents and line placement
they are known for their mobility as they can be transported from one place to another,
has a semi-circular design helps the physician to move it more freely covering the whole body of the patient and take images of the the part needed
they are used to conduct the process of X-ray imaging.
Electrosurgical Unit

if used properly it damages tissue considerably less than the scalpel with the added to stem bleeding safely.
Smoke Evacuator
Surgical smoke is the gaseous by product produced by the usage of diathermy device during surgery
has been identify as a potentially potent health hazard to health care professionals
If a large amount of smoke plume is created then a smoke evacuation system is required
It has a moisture filter to capture any moisture evacuated with the surgical smoke
Operating theatre light
