Insensitivity to shocks and high loads, a good resistance to chemicals in cleaning processes, as well as the freedom from maintenance of the used products ensure the availability of surgical facilities.
This is achieved in surgical devices, for instance, tables, lamps, plug-in devices, monitor supports and medical tools, with igus® energy chains used in the smallest space for electrical and hydraulic cables, or iglidur® plain bearings in worm gears for adjustment of arm and leg rests, as well as linear operations in lifting columns.
Advantages of igus® products in surgical facilities:
Resistant to corrosion
High resistance to detergents and processes
Good coefficients of friction, low power consumption for mobile devicesLoads > 100 MPa possible
Low installation space for energy supply
Small bending radii for cables
