Motorized Single Arm Double Joint Pendant for Operating Rooms

The motorized single arm double joint pendant is a ceiling-mounted medical support system designed for use in operating rooms and surgical units. This advanced pendant system developed by Tecnomed allows safe and ergonomic access to gas, electricity, and data connections during surgical procedures. Its motorized design provides vertical lift capability, while its dual articulation system enables wide rotational coverage around the patient.

Advantages of Motorized Pendant Systems

The motorized single arm double joint pendant is ideal for anesthesia and surgical applications where positioning flexibility and equipment access are critical. It features a motorized lift mechanism that allows vertical movement between 50 and 75 cm. This enables precise height adjustment of the gas and power modules to suit the surgical team’s workflow. The pendant’s arms rotate manually and are supported by pneumatic brakes, ensuring secure positioning at any angle.

Gas and Power Configurations

The system integrates various medical gas outlets depending on the intended use. For anesthesia applications, the pendant may include oxygen, vacuum, compressed air 4 bar, nitrous oxide, and anesthesia gas scavenging systems. In surgical configurations, the system may include oxygen, vacuum, compressed air 4 bar, and compressed air 7 bar. Electrical services include standard and isolated power sockets, data ports, and low-voltage connections for sensitive equipment.

Motorized Single Arm Double Joint Structure

The pendant’s double joint system allows wide rotational motion and precise directional control. It can rotate up to 345 degrees, depending on installation conditions, and its joints are engineered to remain stable under heavy loads. The arms are manufactured in various lengths depending on the height and layout of the operating room, ensuring the pendant can be adjusted to fit different surgical setups.

Integrated Equipment Mounting Options

Tecnomed’s motorized single arm double joint pendant supports a wide variety of equipment. IV poles, infusion pump holders, ECG monitor shelves, ventilator brackets, and accessory drawers can all be mounted securely to the pendant’s vertical column. These elements are modular and adjustable, providing maximum convenience during operations.

Installation and Compatibility

The system is typically fixed to the ceiling with two flanges for maximum support and stability. Where flanges cannot be used, chemical peg anchors may be substituted. The pendant can be placed between surgical tables, anesthesia workstations, or recovery beds, and it functions effectively in both standard and hybrid operating rooms.

Compliance and Quality Standards

The motorized single arm double joint pendant is manufactured in accordance with CE regulations and is certified under EN ISO 13485:2016 and EN ISO 9001:2015. It is also fully compliant with HTM 02-01 for gas and power safety in healthcare environments. Every unit is tested for lifting precision, gas line tightness, electrical safety, and rotation performance.

Clinical Applications and Customization

This pendant system is suitable for use in general surgery, gynecology, ENT, orthopedics, and neurosurgery. Tecnomed offers configuration options based on the clinical department, ceiling height, and surgical room size. Custom colors, antimicrobial coatings, and optional lighting modules are available.

Ergonomics and Workflow Efficiency

By lifting all critical systems off the floor and centralizing access at ceiling level, the motorized single arm double joint pendant improves working conditions for the entire surgical team. Medical staff can reposition the pendant easily and securely using its motorized controls and manual arms. This reduces preparation time, prevents cable entanglement, and maintains a sterile field.

Support and Project Planning

Tecnomed provides full support during planning and installation. Technical drawings, CAD layout assistance, and hospital-specific consultation ensure that every motorized pendant unit meets spatial and operational requirements. Hospitals may request specific designs and combinations of equipment and services to match clinical needs.
