How our products work in the medical sector

Our range of products work across a variety of applications within the operating theatre environment – from adjusting the position of an operating room table, to motion and positional control on lighting or monitor arms. Whatever the movement required, our range of dampers and gas struts offer the perfect solution.

From opticians to physiotherapy, our range of products suit a variety of applications across general healthcare – from dampers for back and leg rest adjustment on chairs and treatment couches, to gas springs to control the motion of a monitor or lighting arm.

Many applications in a hospital ward environment require a controlled motion for the safety of both the patient and medical staff. Our range of products are tailored to suit a variety of applications – whether it’s the adjustment of a ward bed, or the movement of an overbed table.

Our dampers provide smooth control and operation of the descent of the back rest – making treatment easier and providing more comfort for the patient. We also offer a compact manual hydraulic height adjustment system, allowing easy manoeuvrability of a bed into the required position for both the user/carer and patient.

Our gas springs provide easy-to-operate, assisted opening, and holding functionality and closing for patient-handling equipment. Our manually-operated gas springs allow for the controlled tilt of a seat – enabling it to be stopped in any required position. The control of the tilt comes when the gas spring is teamed with our hydraulic release lever system – minimising effort and maximising control for the carer, while safely attaining the correct position for the patient.
