Explanation

A Jackson table is a special type of bed used in medical procedures, particularly surgeries.

The table can be adjusted to different heights and angles, and it often has sections that can be removed or added as needed. This flexibility makes it easier for doctors to perform complex surgeries, especially on the back and spine.
