Tray lift autopsy table and system

Abstract

A system deployable in post-mortem rooms and other facilities for facilitating medical examinations, including autopsies. A system as described includes a corpse-receiving station and an organ dissecting station, each being in some embodiments substantially rectangularly shaped and having a longest length dimension. The corpse-receiving station and organ dissecting station are in some embodiments arranged so their longest length dimensions are oriented substantially perpendicularly, having a formation resembling an L-shape when viewed from an overhead perspective. A system of the instant technology eliminates the necessity for pathologists and technicians of having to lift a subject or corpse, by virtue of the corpse-receiving station being configured and equipped to be selectively height-adjustable, which also eliminates the need for step-stools and the like. Moreover, the organ dissecting station is configured and equipped to be selectively height-adjustable and selectively adjustable laterally with respect to its base. The combination of the features and elements provided enables 360 degree access to a corpse residing on the corpse-receiving station, while greatly lessening un-necessary walking and essentially eliminating hazards associated with biological fluids falling onto the floor surface of the work area. Hygiene is increased by provision of a ventilation system integrated into the components of systems provided herein.
