Amsco Urology Table

Amsco Urology Table

I'm not sure if I want to know exactly how this works...
Apparently this is a discontinued product.

Yikes! We probably don't want to know anyway. :`-)
Wow...Kind of makes you go "hmm", eh?
I hope those copper pipes laying on the floor were used for "the other" kind of plumbing and not part of the examination equipment !
It's designed for pain relief, beleive it or not.
It looks like you can launch some one out of the window on that thing
Between the comment about the large pipes on the floor previously being part of the urological exam equipment and the comment about a patient being potentially catapulted out the window mid-exam, this shot is starting to take on some seriously hysterical overtones here . . . . . . . . 8`-)

Hey, ~Me! Are you saying that the pipes afforded some sort of pain relief?!?!?!?!?! =8-o
Not at all Lynne, The table it self was designed for pain relief. But one upside the head may render one cataleptic.
So then this is like a scary version of an inversion table?
Lynne, you have the best sense of humor, I have tears rolling down my face from laughing!
I bet the doctor placed his fingertips in a bowl of ice before using this contraption, just for shits and giggles!
I don't know about the shits but ice should could get some giggles.
ROFL!!!
I see Sam hasn't made it here yet...
Silk, I've been waiting for Sam too!! :-)
urology=?
Urology is the medical field for urinary tract stuff - the bladder, genitals, etc.
Oh how..fun?
So where does one go about getting one of these... for... research! I'm a doctor! :D Really, I just want one to put next to my sitz bath as a conversation piece...
For the girls out there: can you immagine getting a pap smear on this thing?
Ack! First the sitz bath and now that!
In that case, I'd much prefer being catapulted out the window before having an exam on that thing!
HOLE I LOVE THIS PICTURE OMG..MY FRIEND WOULD FREAK FOR THIS PIC..she loves this place...so do i now..were going there with some friends
I cant believe they leave this expensive equipment lying around in abandoned US hospitals.
this is where one is probed when abducted.... as a female who has been to a urologist this equipment gives me the chills, but hey, nice veiw!
I just love how that table is in plain view of the window and other building. I'm sure the people on the top floor of the adjacent building must have loved the view so to speak. lol :P :)
Once a year, huh gals. "Scoot all the way to the end of he table, honey"
Guts and butts....Lovely.
Re: Old medical equipment, someone has mentioned elsewhere that removing some of this stuff will cost more than any resale value.
given the nature of the equipment. those pipes strewn about take on a perverse significance. my question: did the pipes come pre-strewn, or did you arrange them there? though i must admit, if i were you i would not answer and let it remain a mystery.
Well if you have a bladder incontinent issue, you would know what this table is used for. It is really a urology procedure table. I had to be on one for several tests like the one wher they insert a scope into view the bladder and the urodynamics test. It is a surgery table to allow full exposure of the pelvic region for the doctor.
O.o
another thing that looks kinky hah!

Scroll down a little to the second set of pictures under "Surgical Table - $1,975." This gives a lovely graphic demo of the catapulting effect we were discussing lo those many years back. =8-o
*crossing legs and grimacing*
can I ask a question? where is your head supposed to go.......?
don't tell me you're hanging by your strapped in ankles? ;)
who? ;)
Hey, I can't view your site properly within Opera, I actually hope you look into fixing this.
Just tried it, looks fine to me. What's the issue?
Frankenstein "Its alive ITS ALIVE "
These kinds of tables are made for people with serious urinary issues; i.e. people who cant pee. The procedures are a bit scary if your unfamiliar with them. The feet go up in the stirrups and a tube in placed in the urethra and liquid is forced into the body so that the muscles are forced to "let go". It can be very painful,
I'm not sure if that thing looks kinky or horrid. Leaning toward horrid after reading comments though.
