Floor stand for operating microscopes. The floor stand FS 5-33 is a carrying unit designed for stable positioning of a surgical microscope to the place of interest during neurosurgical operations. This is achieved by attaching the microscope head at the end of the floor stand's arm. The microscope system can be moved and positioned effortlessly. Thereto, electromagnetic brakes in the joints are released by pushing the orange buttons on the stand or microscope. This ensures extremely sensible and precision positioning of the microscope. The design conforms to the Corporate Product Design (CPD) characteristics defined for HAAG STREIT SURGICAL.
