Rigid Pendant

• The Rigid ICU Pendant from Tecnomed is a ceiling-mounted, non-motorized suspension unit designed to streamline access to essential medical services in intensive care units and operating rooms. Its robust structure and 345-degree rotational capability make it a versatile and space-efficient alternative to traditional wall or floor-based service units.This type of pendant is ideal for facilities where maximum vertical clearance, operational flexibility, and accessibility to equipment are crucial. The rigid design supports a stable yet adjustable arm that rotates around its axis, allowing healthcare professionals to position the system according to their procedural needs. Whether working in neonatal ICUs, trauma bays, or hybrid operating suites, this pendant ensures that vital services are always within reach but never in the way.One of the key features of the Rigid ICU Pendant is its ability to consolidate multiple service modules in a suspended structure. The unit includes:
  – Integrated medical gas outlets (oxygen, vacuum, medical air)
  – Electrical sockets (high and low current)
  – Data ports (RJ45)
  – Optional lighting and nurse call systems

  By organizing these services into a centralized housing, the pendant eliminates the need for separate installations and minimizes equipment congestion around the patient bed.

  The unit is also equipped with horizontal medical rails that support a variety of critical care devices. These include:
  – Patient monitors (EKG, pulse oximetry, etc.)
  – Ventilators
  – Infusion and perfusion pumps
  – IV poles and serum hangers
  – Accessory drawers or baskets

  Each component is arranged ergonomically along the pendant body, providing intuitive access and ease of adjustment. The pendant’s layout can be customized according to the clinical environment, with multiple shelf configurations, drawer combinations, and mounting points available.

  Rotation is a central function of the Rigid Pendant. With a 345-degree range around its vertical axis, the unit offers exceptional flexibility in positioning, especially in tight or shared spaces. Pneumatic brake systems at the base allow the pendant to be locked at any angle, ensuring stability and operational safety during use.

  Tecnomed’s pendant systems are engineered in accordance with EN ISO 13485:2016, EN ISO 9001:2015, CE standards, and HTM 02-01 guidelines. Every unit is tested for load tolerance, rotational integrity, gas sealing, and electrical insulation to ensure it meets the demanding conditions of ICU and OR environments.

  The design also supports infection control protocols. With no floor-based infrastructure and smooth, anti-bacterial coated surfaces, the pendant is easy to clean and disinfect. Cable and hose channels are concealed within the body, reducing contamination risk and enhancing the visual order of the care space.

  In terms of usability, the rigid structure is particularly appreciated in fixed-function zones where mobility is not a priority, but precision and reliability are. The pendant provides a firm, locked-in-place system that does not drift or sag over time, even when bearing multiple devices.

  Hospitals may choose from a range of pendant designs and configurations to match room size, ceiling height, patient population, and clinical specialty. Tecnomed also offers consultancy for layout planning, equipment placement, and integration with other Tecnomed systems, including modular bed head units or motorized pendants.

  For facilities seeking a low-maintenance, cost-effective, and dependable pendant solution, the Rigid ICU Pendant offers a reliable alternative. Its simplicity in design is matched by its effectiveness in delivering critical medical services in a compact, ceiling-mounted format.

  Whether used in intensive care units, pre-operative zones, or general surgical areas, the Rigid Pendant system stands out as a fundamental tool for modern patient care. Tecnomed continues to support its deployment with full technical documentation, installation assistance, and post-sale support services tailored to hospital needs.

  Healthcare providers can request custom configurations, technical specifications, and quotation offers directly through Tecnomed’s consultation channels to ensure the pendant is delivered exactly as required.
