Single Overhead Suspension System for O.R. & I.C.U

Q: What is a single-arm medical pendant used for in an OR or ICU?

Silbermann’s single-arm medical pendant is a ceiling-mounted medical pendant that organizes medical services and equipment around the patient. Its modular, high-load design and articulated arm system provide flexible positioning in operating rooms, ICUs, and other critical care areas.

Q: Can the single-arm medical pendant be customized?

Yes. The single-arm medical pendant can be configured to meet the requirements of each project, including arm length, service head height, medical gas outlets, electrical and data connections, pressure gauges, and accessory arrangement.

Q: How can the single-arm medical pendant be moved and positioned?

The single-arm medical pendant moves horizontally through its articulated arm, allowing the service head to be repositioned around the clinical workspace. The wide rotation range makes it possible to bring equipment and medical services closer to the patient and move them away when additional access is required.

Q: Why are pneumatic brakes important in the single-arm medical pendant?

Pneumatic brakes help the clinical team control the pendant’s position during use. They allow the arm to be released, repositioned, and locked securely, making the system easier to handle during routine work and changing clinical situations.

Q: Which standards apply to the single-arm medical pendant?

Silbermann’s single-arm medical pendant meets the requirements of NFPA 99, EN ISO 11197, and EN ISO 7396-1. It is CE marked and manufactured under Silbermann’s Quality Management System, which is certified to EN ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015.
