Abstract:
In field operational environments, the gynecologic health needs of women may be difficult to provide because of the lack of a small, lightweight, durable, inexpensive gynecologic examination table. Such a table already exists, in pieces, in the inventory of most field-deploying units of battalion aid station size or larger. Because the table's existence is not commonly known, we describe the assembly and use of this field-expedient gynecologic examination table.
