Morgue table equipment is used to prepare bodies for autopsy or embalming. It typically consists of a flat, stainless steel table with a drain and a trough that runs along the length of the table. It is designed to allow fluids to be drained away from the body and provide a clean, sterile environment for the medical examiner or embalmer to work in. The table is typically equipped with an adjustable head rest, adjustable foot rest, and a removable tray for instruments.
Morgue table equipment is typically manufactured by medical equipment companies such as Hill-Rom, Stryker, and Midmark. Prices for morgue table equipment range from around $3,000 to $15,000 depending on the features and size of the table. Higher end models may include additional features such as adjustable height, adjustable side rails, and a built-in scale.
