Patient Positioning Systems Repair & Refurbishment
Specialized in-house repair for the bed and table attachments your surgical team relies on every day, restored to OEM specifications and backed by our 90-day warranty.
Patient positioners do critical work in the operating room. From articulating arms that hold limbs in precise position to skull clamps that immobilize the head for cranial procedures, these devices carry significant responsibility and take heavy wear in the process.
When a positioner fails, the cost isn’t just the equipment. It’s surgical delays, last-minute schedule changes, and in some cases, compromised patient safety. SIRLab repairs the full range of patient positioning equipment in service today, getting them back in your OR fast.
Equipment We Service
Martin's Arms
Martin's Arms are precision articulating support devices used across a wide range of surgical specialties, from orthopedic to general surgery. Their multi-joint design provides exceptional positioning flexibility, but it also creates multiple points of mechanical wear that need regular service to maintain performance.
How We Service It
- Joint tension adjustment and recalibration
- Locking mechanism repair and replacement
- Cable and tensioning system service
- Frame straightening and weld repair
- Replacement of worn or damaged grip components
- Full refurbishment for aging units
Every unit is tested through full range-of-motion against OEM specifications before it ships back.
DeMayo Knee Positioners
DeMayo positioners are purpose-built for total knee arthroplasty, providing the stable, repeatable positioning that knee surgeons depend on. Their unique mechanical design demands repair expertise specific to the device. Generic repair shops often miss the subtle calibration issues that affect surgical precision.
How We Service It
- Locking mechanism repair
- Articulation joint service
- Frame restoration
- Complete refurbishment
- Testing against original positioning tolerances
Arthrex Trimano Arms
Arthrex positioning arms are widely used in arthroscopic and orthopedic procedures, where they need to hold extremities in precise, stable positions for extended cases. Their reliability depends on properly maintained tension systems, locking mechanisms, and mounting hardware.
How We Service It
- Joint tension and locking integrity service
- Mounting hardware inspection and repair
- Scope holder and rail clamp thread inspection
- OEM-spec testing
We currently service the Arthrex® Trimano® AR-1640 only. The Trimano Fortis (AR-1740) is not supported at this time.
Skull Clamps
Skull clamps demand a level of precision and reliability that few other surgical devices match. They immobilize the patient's head during cranial, spinal, and ENT procedures, and a failure during surgery is unacceptable. SIRLab holds skull clamp repairs to the highest standard in our facility.
How We Service It
- Pin tension and pressure calibration
- Articulation joint service
- Locking mechanism repair
- Frame integrity inspection
- Full functional testing against OEM specifications
Every skull clamp is documented, inspected, and tested to a standard appropriate to its critical role.
Arm Boards
Arm boards see constant use in nearly every type of surgery, and they take constant wear in the process. Bent frames, damaged padding, failed locking mechanisms, and mounting hardware fatigue are all common after years of service.
How We Service It
- Frame inspection for cracks and bends
- Rotation and pivot joint testing
- Rail lock and locking mechanism repair
- Re-padding for refurbished units
Refurbished arm boards come back looking and performing like new, at a fraction of replacement cost.
Beach Chair Attachments
Beach chair positioners and shoulder positioning attachments are critical for shoulder arthroscopy and other upper-extremity procedures. We service the locking and articulation systems that keep these attachments stable through long cases, including pneumatic and hydraulic components where applicable.
How We Service It
- Panel inspection for cracks and damage
- Gas/oil cylinder pressure and function testing
- Sliding lock and pivot mechanism service
- Pneumatic and hydraulic component repair
Specialty Frames & Other Equipment
Beyond the categories above, we repair lateral positioning frames, prone positioning systems, pediatric attachments, shoulder/hip/knee specialty frames, and custom or discontinued positioner models. If it’s not listed here, ask anyway. We’ll tell you within 48 hours whether we can help.

Our Repair Process
Receipt & Inspection
Every unit is logged, photographed, and inspected on arrival. We document as-received condition, particularly important for high-stakes equipment like skull clamps.
Itemized Estimate
Within 48 hours you receive a detailed estimate covering scope of work, parts required, total cost, and turnaround time. No surprises, no hidden charges.
Repair
Our technicians perform the repair using OEM-quality parts. Every step is documented using OEM testing procedures, measurements, and instruments.
Testing & QC
Every unit passes a full functional and safety test: tension testing, range-of-motion verification, locking mechanism stress testing, and pressure or torque calibration where applicable.
Return Shipping
We ship the repaired positioner back to your facility, fully tested, documented, and backed by our 90-day warranty.
Why Hospitals Trust SIRLab
Specialty Expertise Across the Full Range
Patient positioners come from dozens of manufacturers with hundreds of models. We've built genuine, in-depth expertise across the full range, the kind of knowledge that catches subtle problems before they become surgical incidents.
Critical-Equipment Standards
Skull clamps in particular have a tolerance for failure of essentially zero. Every unit we repair is held to that standard regardless of category. We test, document, and warranty every single repair.
Parts Availability
We maintain extensive parts inventory across the brands we service. That's the single biggest reason our turnaround consistently outperforms competitors who have to order parts after diagnosing each unit.
Preventive Maintenance
Patient positioners benefit enormously from scheduled preventive maintenance. Many failures we see are the result of small problems (slight tension drift, early-stage wear, minor calibration loss) that would have been caught and corrected easily during a PM visit.
We work with biomed teams to establish PM schedules that match equipment volume and usage. Annual, semi-annual, and custom schedules are all available, with full documentation for equipment management records and compliance audits.
Refurbishment as a Capital Alternative
Replacement cost for many patient positioners runs into the thousands or tens of thousands per unit. Full refurbishment typically costs a fraction of that, and delivers a unit that looks, feels, and performs like new.
We provide refurbishment estimates for entire fleets of equipment, with volume pricing where applicable.
