Customizable with up to 5 drops to accommodate a range of adjusting techniques. Based on our standard drop system used in our Prestige and Standard line tables, the Contemporary III Table’s newly redesigned drops were built to be even more robust for the high volume practice. Machined out of high density polyethylene, our drop blocks are impact resistant and low friction leading to long service life. Our plungers are precision machined out of a billet of 1018 steel. The result is a crisp and smooth mechanism.
The Contemporary III Stationary table is available with pelvic, lumbar, and thoracic drops. The thoracic and lumbar drops feature our new double hinge system allowing the single thoraco/lumbar cushion to fall at both the front and rear simultaneously. This allows for optimal adjusting of the entire spine C7/T1 - L5/S1. Both our thoracic and pelvic drops are available with our prop and drop system. This allows the pelvic drop cushion to be tilted so that the front portion is up to 5 inches above the table, which enables patients with large abdomens to comfortably lie prone. The thoracic prop and drop allows the thoracic section to incline up to 45 degrees with the drop being effective up to 20 degrees. This is a great feature for those who require the ability to do antierors on an incline but want the functionality of a full drop table. It is also a wonderful addition for doing seated condyle lifts and rotary breaks.
Our pelvic, lumbar, and thoracic drops are all easily activated using our foot cocking kick drop system. This has the added benefits of no handles on the side of the table to get in the way of side posture adjusting, a longer lever for activating the drop when working on heavier patients, and the elimination of the need to lift your contact point to cock the drop when dropping a patient several times in quick succession.
Our base headpiece features 20 degrees of flexion and extension. There are options to upgrade to a forward drop, forward drop and elevation with straight drop, and forward drop, elevation with straight drop plus lateral bending.
All Contemporary III come standard with a foot extension and knee break. This allows the foot piece of the table to be tilted, taking tension off the hamstrings and allowing for easy leg checks.
