Skytron Introduces GS50 Soteria: A Surgical Table Built Around Patient Safety and Surgical Access

GRAND RAPIDS, MI, UNITED STATES, October 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Skytron introduced the GS50 Soteria, a general-purpose slide-top surgical table in its Guardian Series, designed to support safer patient positioning and more reliable imaging access. Named for the Greek goddess of safety and salvation, the GS50 Soteria extends Skytron’s focus on reducing risk at the point of care, where table positioning, imaging access, and equipment reliability directly shape safety and efficiency.

Precise, Confident Positioning
C-arm access is critical for procedures that depend on real-time imaging. The GS50 widens the imaging window beneath the table’s seat section, and an integrated slide cylinder paired with a shorter, low-profile base expands total imaging area. Together, these changes reduce imaging interruptions and repositioning during time-sensitive procedures.

Improved Access for Intraoperative Imaging
The GS50 delivers a larger total imaging area, even with less overall top slide length. An integrated slide cylinder and a shorter, low-profile table base further improve C-arm access.

Reduced Risk for Patients and Staff
A flat, seamless base supports thorough cleaning and fast turnover between cases, a key factor in infection prevention. Lower overall product weight makes the GS50 the easiest table in Skytron’s line to move, reducing physical strain on staff during repositioning and transport. Power and brake status lights on the base give staff a clear, at-a-glance check before the table moves.

The pendant control adds two more safeguards: haptic feedback alerts users to movement and cautions during use, and an IPX67 fluid-ingress rating reduces control failures in the fluid-exposed OR environment, supporting continuity of care when reliability matters most.

A removable back section enables more integrated accessory configurations, including Beach Chair positioning and 44″ extensions. The GS50 is compatible with the full line of Guardian Series accessories, supporting a wider range of procedures on a single platform.
