Spanish term

mesa combinada de cabeceras

Spanish to English Medical Medical: Health Care Codes with definitions
I am translating a list of importation codes, with absolutely no context, full of typos, no accents, incorrect or non-existent punctuation, all of which comes down to generally a big mess of text. Below is the phrase the term "mesa combinada de cabeceras" is associated with. I have no other context at all. I presume they are discussing equipment used for patients in hospital. So sorry. But if anyone knows what they might mean by "mesa combinada de cabeceras", I would be very grateful for any help you can give.

Context:

Camas regulables con mecanismos para usos clinicos. servocunas incorporador de pacientes; mesa combinada de cabeceras

Thank you in advance!

Laura

Peer comment(s):

agree Rachel Fell : I agree - I wonder what the combination consists of : e.g. could it be a sort of tray that swings over the bed for patient to use, attached to the bedside table thing?

agree Andrée Goreux : Yes, it sort of locks to something or other under the bed, they give you those awful soups and jellies, and then the orderlies take ages to come back and remove the darned thing!

Adrianna got me thinking...if it\'s not referring to hospital furniture...then a possible meaning, within a business context, would be-

board room/meeting table with the department heads-
Peer comment(s):

agree Adriana de Groote : Bo, no puede ser algo como las "rondas de médicos" o "reuniones de médicos de cabecera", porque Laura dice que es una lista de códigos de importación, así es que tiene que ser una COSA.

great minds think alike--now you got me thinking there could be an alternative meaning, if we go in another route; since LH is not positive regarding subject matter-

Hola Laura,
Una sugerencia.
Lo de "de cabeceras" me late que simplemente se refiere a "bedside" (con una 's' de más); lo de "combinada" tal vez se trate de una mesa como la del segundo enlace que tiene dos "mesitas" en una sola.
Pero esto es sólo una suposición.
Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)
