Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for a patient table. The patient table may include a bed coupled to a base via a midsection and a docking bar coupled to the base. The docking bar may be movable between a first position, where a first longitudinal axis of the docking bar is parallel to a second longitudinal axis of the base, and a second position, where the first longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis. The docking bar may include a releasable bottom surface configured to be brought into contact with a base support of a patient lift.

A patient table, comprising:
- a bed coupled to a base via a midsection;
- and
- a docking bar coupled to the base, the docking bar movable between a first position where a first longitudinal axis of the docking bar is parallel to a second longitudinal axis of the base and a second position where the first longitudinal axis is perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis, the docking bar including a releasable bottom surface configured to be brought into contact with a base support of a patient lift.
A docking bar for a patient table, comprising:
- a body including a connecting end configured to be pivotably mounted on the patient table via a hinge mechanism;
- and
- a lift stabilizer at least partially housed within the body, the lift stabilizer including a releasable bottom surface configured to be brought into contact with a base support of a patient lift.
