Lojer Smarter Practico: Features, Specifications and Where It Fits

Design and recognition

Smarter Practico received a Fennia Prize Honourable Mention in 2020 and carries the Design from Finland mark. These are design recognitions, not clinical claims, but they reflect the focus on ergonomics and ease of use that runs through the table.

It is offered in a column system with three height options: General, Low and High, so the table can be matched to the room and to the surgical disciplines it serves.

Key specifications of the Lojer Practico

Published figures include a safe working load of 280 kg in all directions including slide, a maximum lifting capacity of 460 kg, a table top width of 540 mm, Trendelenburg of plus or minus 30 degrees and lateral tilt of plus or minus 20 degrees. A 390 mm longitudinal slide supports X-ray and fluoroscopy access.

Because the load rating applies in all directions including slide, it gives a clearer picture for planning than a single flat-position figure. Read our guide to operating table weight capacity for how to compare such numbers.

• Safe working load 280 kg in all directions including slide
• Maximum lifting capacity 460 kg
• Trendelenburg +/- 30 degrees, lateral tilt +/- 20 degrees
• Top width 540 mm, 390 mm longitudinal slide

Smart hand control and anti-collision movements

The smart control system recognises potential mechanical collisions and compensates automatically, for example in deep Trendelenburg. This reduces the risk of the team having to stop and adjust during a case.

The hand control offers a quick memory function and an endoscopic mode for low-light use. Memory positions include height, which helps when the same posture is repeated through a list.

Imaging access, power and floor lock

A low base provides 360-degree C-arm access, which matters in orthopaedic, vascular and endoscopic work. The table has an electric floor lock and operates on a Li-ion battery, so it can be positioned without relying on a cable at floor level.

As with any battery table, agree a charging routine and make sure staff know the battery status indicators. Ask about battery replacement and who services it.

Who the Smarter Practico suits

With its range of postures and high load rating, the table is a general-purpose option for multi-disciplinary theatres. Compare it with the other tables from Lojer such as the modular day surgery tables and the heavy-duty platform, depending on your case mix.

Checklist before you specify it

Confirm the column height option for your room, the side rail variant and the accessories you need, such as arm boards, leg supports and head rests. Check door widths, the route to the theatre and a charging point for the battery. Ask how the base and bellows are cleaned and which cleaning agents are approved.

Add the table to your preventive maintenance plan from the start, and request user training for theatre staff and a technical handover for your biomedical team. A written list of spare parts held in the UAE is a sensible part of any offer.

Ordering and support in the UAE

Before ordering, confirm the configuration, accessories, registration status of the model in the UAE and the arrangements for installation, training and maintenance. Beckfinity's specialists can prepare a quotation; contact us via the product page or our contact page.
