Modern Surgical Suites are utilizing many ceiling hung devices to provide flexibility and support to the medical staff throughout surgeries. The ceiling hung equipment can range from simple exam lights to anesthesia booms to dual arm surgical lights. All of the ceiling hung medical equipment require support systems that are unseen but critically important for the functionality of the surgical room. Unistrut Midwest is a leading provider of Medical Equipment Supports throughout the Midwest. In today’s blog post we will be looking at the Structural Boom Supports for Surgical Suites.

Unistrut Surgical Boom Supports are Unistrut or Sikla Framo 80 Structures that are designed to handle the high moments required of modern surgical equipment. The surgical equipment itself is not extremely heavy, however the equipment needs to be installed on rotating cantilever arms that need to remain in place during the surgery. The equipment when fully extended can put a large moment load on the support structure. The support structure needs to be able to resist the moment and not deflect. The deflection criteria on the equipment hung from the Unistrut Surgical Boom Support is very strict. The strict deflection criteria is important for the ceiling hung equipment because without a rigid and plumb support system the equipment can drift on the end users which can cause issues during a surgical procedure.
