Mounting systems for anaesthetic units

Intelligent mounting systems featuring CIM med GmbH’s integrated data and power lines for
anaesthetic technology increase hygiene in operating theatres and protect cables from damage, the manufacturer reports.

Height-adjustable carrier arm for monitors, connected to the anaesthesia unit.

The flexible carrier mounts can be adjusted for height and moved laterally. This enables ergonomic positions for personnel. The mounts are made of eloxised and powder-coated aluminium and are resistant to disinfectants and cleaning products. They have been equipped with the necessary component grounding for special connections with anaesthesia units. Cables with large 24-pole DVI connectors can be easily integrated to support imaging with PDM systems. The mounts, which have been tested by the TÜV, are designed for carrying heavy weights and hence ensure the needed stability.’ Details: www.cim-med.com
