Abstract
A cladding protection device is provided for protecting a height adjustment mechanism used to raise and lower the height of an operating room table. The cladding protection device includes a plurality of bodies seated upon the table base of the operating room table to surround a perimeter of the height adjustment mechanism to thereby inhibit contact with foreign objects. In one example, a complimentary coupler comprising a first coupler on one of the plurality of bodies removably engages a second coupler on another of the plurality of bodies to form the cladding protection device. In another example, a plurality of inwardly projecting stand-offs are located in close proximity with the perimeter of the height adjustment mechanism to inhibit directional movement of the cladding protection device.
