Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9116028A1] The device described has a multiplicity of patient-supporting elements (5) linked by means of a positioning device (3) with a base (2), the positioning device (3) preferably having a lift or pivot drive. Handling of the patient is simplified and patient comfort improved by virtue of the fact that the supporting elements (5) are attached to multi-joint suspension arms (4) which each have at least three joints (20), the suspension arms (4) being hinged to the positioning device (3) and at least two of the joints being lockable in any desired position.
