Description of the modules
The S8 ceiling mount comprises an articulated arm, a suspension arm
with the illumination system and a control unit.
The articulated arm consists of a lift arm and a carrier arm. The lifting func-
tion permits the ceiling mount to be moved to a standby position. A grip is
provided for height adjustment of the ceiling mount.
The suspension arm with the illumination system and the control unit is
mounted on the carrier arm. The control unit is rotatable through 180° and
contains all electrical supply systems required for the control of a motor-
ized surgical microscope. The motorized functions can be activated using
a foot control panel.
The suspension arm permits almost effortless positioning of the surgical
microscope. The spring force of the suspension arm can be varied in a
range from 8 to 20 kg, permitting reliable balancing of the microscope
even with heavy accessory equipment. The downward movement of the
suspension arm can be limited as required.
