How Casco Delivered a Custom OR Table Pad When No Manufacturer Could

At Casco Manufacturing Solutions, innovation isn’t just part of what we do, it’s who we are. As a leader in made‑to‑order soft goods manufacturing for decades, we’ve built our reputation on exceptional customer service, efficient production practices, and unwavering attention to detail. That’s why when a healthcare facility in the Philadelphia area came to us with a challenge, our team got to work.

A Problem No Manufacturer Would Solve

One of the facility’s operating rooms had a Dornier lithotripter table with an outdated and worn pad. The table itself was still fully functional, but the original manufacturer no longer produced replacement pads, leaving the facility with two options:

• Spend a significant amount of money to replace the entire OR table
• Or find someone capable of creating a custom-engineered pad that would fit perfectly

That’s when their Biomed Engineer recommended Casco.

A Custom Solution — Built from the Old Pad

To begin, we asked the OR nurse at the facility to trace the old pad and send it to us for evaluation. Once our team received the template, we asked several strategic questions to ensure we fully understood the table’s specifications and the clinical needs.

From there, our engineers designed and manufactured a brand‑new replacement pad that matched the table precisely — restoring comfort, usability, and support for surgical staff and patients.

A Thrilled Customer and a Rejuvenated OR Suite

When the new pad arrived and was installed in the OR suite, the staff was thrilled with the quality, fit, and craftsmanship. Here’s what Dawn, an OR nurse at the facility, had to say:

“For a year we looked for a company to make a Dornier lithotripter OR pad without any results. Our Biomed Engineer suggested we contact Casco Manufacturing. We took a template of our old pad for them to provide a quote. Casco was able to provide us with a pad that more than met our needs. After we put it into the OR suite, the staff was delighted to have a new pad with such great quality. I’d highly recommend Casco to hospitals as a solution for any special needs they may have.”
