Twin Pendant for Intensive Care Applications

The twin pendant is a dual-arm, ceiling-mounted support system designed to deliver medical gas, electrical power, and data connections in intensive care units and surgical environments. With full 180-degree movement across the patient bed, this system ensures maximum flexibility and accessibility for healthcare professionals.

Key Advantages of the Twin Pendant System

Tecnomed’s twin pendant system allows seamless and centralized access to vital medical services without interfering with floor space. Equipped with two independently rotating arms, the system enables positioning of critical care devices on both the left and right sides of the patient. Each joint offers a 345-degree rotation capability, giving clinical staff full directional control during procedures.

Dual Arm Design and Equipment Integration

Each arm of the twin pendant can support a variety of essential devices and accessories. These include patient monitors, ventilators, infusion pumps, ECG systems, IV poles, and additional drawers or baskets. The dual-arm configuration ensures balanced weight distribution and minimizes interference with caregiver movement.

Mechanical Features and Movement Control

The twin pendant is designed to offer maximum rotational flexibility. Both arms operate with pneumatic braking systems that allow precise locking at any position. The pendant arms can be adjusted individually or simultaneously, depending on the clinical requirements of the room and the procedure.

Medical Gas and Electrical Integration

The unit includes integrated modules for medical gases such as oxygen, vacuum, and compressed air. Electrical outlets and low-voltage ports are positioned ergonomically to ensure fast and error-free access. Optional modules include nurse call systems, lighting controls, and IT ports for data monitoring equipment.

Space Efficiency and Ergonomics

By removing the need for floor-mounted infrastructure, the twin pendant supports a more hygienic and efficient clinical layout. The ceiling-suspended system reduces clutter and allows unrestricted movement around the patient bed. This is especially valuable in high-traffic areas like recovery zones, trauma bays, and multi-bed ICUs.

Customization and Design Flexibility

Tecnomed offers the twin pendant in a range of lengths and load capacities. The arms can be sized according to ceiling height and room width, and optional finishes are available to match the hospital’s architectural design. Colors, antibacterial coatings, and integrated lighting can all be configured as needed.

Installation and Certification

The system is installed using dual flanges for ceiling anchoring. In cases where structural limitations exist, alternative chemical peg mounting methods are available. The twin pendant is manufactured in compliance with CE standards and quality systems including EN ISO 13485:2016 and EN ISO 9001:2015. All gas and power modules meet HTM 02-01 safety standards.

Summary

The twin pendant system is ideal for modern healthcare environments that require fast access to medical gas and electrical services from both sides of the patient. Its rotational flexibility, dual-arm capacity, and equipment compatibility make it a preferred choice in both surgical and critical care spaces. Tecnomed supports hospitals with full planning, layout design, and customization services to ensure perfect operational fit.
