Medical - Medical: Instruments / OP-Türme
German term or phrase: OP-Türme
Hi all,

I am looking for the translation of "OP-Türme" in the most general sense. I have found the term "laparoscopic towers", however I'm looking for a more general term as the reference doesn't specify what the towers are used for exactly. So, perhaps something like "towers for surgery"? The sentence is: "Bis vor kurzem nutzte das XXX aus dem österreichischen Vorarlberg zur visuellen Unterstützung bei medizinischen Eingriffen herkömmliche OP-Türme mit nur einem Monitor.2

Thank you in advance,

Helene

Ich glaube, "stack system" (oder Ähnliches mit "stack", "stacked") ist für Geräte noch gängiger als "tower".

surgical control unit/tower


Explanation:

I think OP-Turm is used in German to describe any kind of surgical control unit. You can see in the following example: OP-Turm and Arthroskopieturm

Neuer OP-Turm an der Klinik Mallersdorf
Als würde man selbst in einem riesigen Gelenk auf Tauchstation gehen: so sieht es aus, wenn Chefarzt Thomas Beer an der Klinik Mallersdorf eine Gelenkspiegelung mit dem neuen Arthroskopieturm in 4K-Bildauflösung durchführt
https://www.kreiskliniken-bogen-mallersdorf.de/klinik-maller...

This site in English describes this sort of devices just as towers:

arthroscopy tower, basic tower, laparoscopy tower, cystoscopy tower, etc.
https://medsourcerental.com/product-category/towers/

Therefore, I would be inclined to translate OP-Turm as surgical control unit or tower.
