Pendant – Non-Motorized Double Arm Three Joint

The Pendant – Non-Motorized Double Arm Three Joint is an advanced ceiling-mounted medical suspension system designed for intensive care units and operating rooms that require seamless access to medical gases, power, and clinical equipment. Developed by Tecnomed, this unit offers a flexible, multi-jointed arm structure that supports a wide range of medical applications while prioritizing patient safety and healthcare personnel efficiency.

This system is particularly useful in high-acuity environments where adaptable positioning of equipment is essential for time-sensitive procedures. With its double arm structure and three pivoting joints, the pendant can cover a wide radius around the patient bed. The primary benefit of this configuration is that it enables clinicians to move the entire support unit across both the left and right sides of the bed, providing symmetrical and ergonomic reach in critical care zones.

Each arm segment offers a generous range of motion, with individual joints rotating up to 345 degrees. The overall system achieves a full 180-degree swing range around the patient zone. These features make the unit ideal for use in operating theaters, hybrid rooms, emergency bays, and ICUs where dynamic interventions are performed.

The pendant’s ceiling-mounted suspension allows the entire unit to float above the patient bed, eliminating clutter and maximizing floor accessibility. This suspended configuration significantly reduces the risk of tripping, cable interference, or accidental disconnection of critical systems during procedures. It also simplifies cleaning and infection control by removing obstacles from the ground level.

Integrated into the pendant are modular units for medical gas delivery — including oxygen, vacuum, and compressed air — alongside electrical sockets, low and high current power connections, and data ports such as RJ45. These modules are arranged for quick, error-free access and are color-coded and labeled according to international medical gas standards.

Mounted medical accessories are fully supported by the pendant’s structure. These may include:
– Patient monitoring systems (ECG, pulse oximeters)
– Ventilators
– Infusion and perfusion pump carriers
– IV poles and serum hangers
– Adjustable monitor shelves
– Storage drawers and baskets

The robust design supports not only vertical and horizontal movement, but also weight-bearing capability for multiple devices used simultaneously. Pneumatic brake systems are integrated into each joint, enabling precise control and locking of the pendant in the desired position. This ensures operational stability even during complex interventions.

The pendant’s customization options allow it to be adapted for various clinical settings. Tecnomed offers a full range of configurations tailored to different departments and procedures — whether for cardiac surgery, neonatal intensive care, trauma resuscitation, or general ICU use. Hospitals may request specific arm lengths, load capacities, gas outlet combinations, lighting modules, and IT connectivity options.

Manufactured in compliance with CE requirements, EN ISO 13485:2016, EN ISO 9001:2015, and HTM 02-01 guidelines, Tecnomed’s pendant systems meet all international safety and quality standards. Every product undergoes rigorous testing to ensure mechanical integrity, gas line sealing, and electrical insulation are maintained over time, even under demanding clinical conditions.

In addition to standard units, Tecnomed provides tailored pendant design services. Hospitals can consult with biomedical engineers and project coordinators to plan installations that meet their exact spatial, clinical, and architectural needs. This includes layout drawings, simulation-based placement recommendations, and cost-effective quotations based on selected configurations.

The pendant system also enhances ergonomics for healthcare providers. Instead of reaching over the patient or working around stationary installations, staff can easily bring necessary equipment to their side, reducing physical strain and increasing operational speed. This translates directly into improved workflow, greater patient safety, and reduced fatigue during long procedures.

In summary, the Pendant – Non-Motorized Double Arm Three Joint is a powerful, customizable, and user-friendly solution for critical care environments where reliability, reach, and flexibility are essential. Designed with the input of medical professionals and engineers, and backed by Tecnomed’s quality standards, this system provides an intelligent alternative to fixed infrastructure in modern hospitals.
