I refreshed the AM-X pendant system for 2026 because modern ORs are running more equipment than ever — and the ceiling is the one surface nobody fights over. Modular arm configurations let you spec a single arm for endoscopy, dual arms for general surgery, or a triple-arm bridge for complex hybrid ORs. Each service head carries medical gas terminals (O2, N2O, air, vacuum, AGSS), electrical outlets with isolated power, and data ports that handle HIS/PACS integration. The arms rotate 340 degrees so equipment reaches every corner of the sterile field without cables draped across the floor.
Medical Pendant Systems for Operating Room
In modern operating rooms, workflow, safety, and cleanliness depend on how well you manage medical gases, power, and equipment access around the surgical table. This medical pendant system is designed for OR environments to centralize gas outlets, electrical power, network connectivity, and device mounting into a stable, ceiling-mounted solution. It helps reduce floor cable clutter, improves staff movement, and keeps critical connections within easy reach during surgery.
Key Benefits at a Glance
- Flexible positioning: double transverse arms with wide coverage radius (700–1100 mm and 400–600 mm, configurable)
- High maneuverability: 0–340° horizontal rotation, arms and terminal boxes rotate separately or together
- Reliable load capacity: net load ≤ 60 kg with 2-layer adjustable instrument platform
- Integrated gas + power + data: organized access for anesthesia and surgical support equipment
- Safety-focused design: error-proof gas outlets with color/shape identification, secondary sealing, rounded anti-collision corners
- Durable and easy to clean: high-strength aluminum alloy body with electrostatic spraying surface treatment
Flexible Coverage and Smooth Rotation
Double transverse arms with configurable radius
The double transverse arms support OR layout needs with configurable coverage:
- 700–1100 mm
- 400–600 mm
Arm radius can be configured according to hospital requirements.
0–340° horizontal rotation
The transverse arms and terminal boxes rotate horizontally separately or simultaneously, making it easy to position gas outlets, sockets, and devices without interfering with surgical staff movement.
Load Capacity and Ergonomic Platforms
Net load ≤ 60 kg
The pendant provides a stable mounting solution for commonly used OR devices, accessories, and workflow components.
2-layer instrument platform
- Height adjustable: 550–400 mm
- Rounded-corner anti-collision protection design
Integrated Gas Interface Configuration
Configurable to hospital standards
Gas interface configuration follows national standard setups and can be configured according to hospital requirements. We support multiple gas outlet standards to match hospital pipelines and tender requirements: DIN, BS, AFNOR, and other standards upon request.
Error-proof outlet identification
Interfaces feature different colors and shapes with an error-proof function, helping reduce the risk of incorrect connections.
Long service life and sealing structure
- Insertion and pulling durability: more than 20,000 times
- Secondary sealing design with three states: On, Off, Pulling
Electrical Power, Data, and Grounding
To support modern OR equipment needs, the pendant system integrates:
- Working power supply: AC220V, 50Hz
- Power socket: 220V, 10A
- Network interface: 1
- Telephone interface: 1
- Grounding terminal: 1
- Stainless steel adjustable IV pole: 1
Materials and Surface Treatment
- Main structure material: high-strength aluminum alloy profiles
- Surface treatment: electrostatic spraying
This combination supports daily cleaning and long-term use in hospital environments.
Stable Ceiling-Mounted Installation
Ceiling top installation is designed to be stable and firm. A proper site survey is recommended to confirm ceiling structure and installation conditions before final configuration.
