The KL-T7303 is a ceiling-mounted pendant for operating theatres, anaesthetic rooms and interventional suites where staff move quickly around the patient and the floor must stay clear. Anaesthetists, surgeons, scrub and circulating nurses, operating department practitioners, porters and radiographers all work around it during a typical theatre day.
Anaesthesia is a typical use. With compressed air, oxygen, nitrous oxide, suction and anaesthesia gas on the column at the head of the table, the anaesthetic machine connects without hoses trailing across the floor. The friction brake keeps the column still once set, so the team can move around the patient without pulling breathing circuits and monitoring leads.
Emergency and trauma theatres benefit from the clear floor. When several staff converge on a patient, cables and hoses underfoot become a real hazard; suspending them from the ceiling greatly reduces that risk. The column rotates horizontally to bring outlets towards the side where they are needed, then holds firm.
Infection prevention teams value a floor that can be cleaned quickly and completely between cases, without hoses and extension leads to work around. The extruded aluminium cabinet and non-slip trays wipe down quickly with standard hospital disinfectants, which suits busy lists with short turnaround times between patients.
Hospitals reviewing theatre safety, and those building or refurbishing theatre suites, gain most from it. The pendant routes gas, power, and data separately, keeping oxygen and electrical supplies apart, and German-standard terminals keep each gas connection secure through more than 20,000 insertions and withdrawals.
