A lightweight operating table top (10) for use with a conventional operating table comprises a substantially planar sheet (12) having a pair of opposed upper and lower surfaces (14, 16) and including reinforcement means (42) for increasing rigidity of the sheet. The operating table top preferably extends substantially the full length of the operating table and includes a body portion (22) and a head portion (24) extending from the body portion (22) so as to provide a surgeon with sufficient leg room for performing seated surgical procedures. The table top is held to the operating table by the combined weight of the mattress and the patient, and can have securing means (112) extending from the table top to the operating table. |
