Surgeries often require the need for many different tools, tools that can ideally be integrated smoothly into the entire process. The FS 5-33 floor stand is a slide unit for operating microscopes as used, for instance, during neurosurgery. It serves to easily move microscopes into place where needed and then position them stably. Its premium-quality design convinces with a concentration to the essential, complemented by a functionality that is perfectly honed to address the highest demands. Thanks to innovative dampening, there are no vibrations blurring the sight of the microscope attached to the holder. This ensures a safe and reliable working process. Based on automated equilibration, weights within the holder arm are shifted to balance the microscope system in almost any position at any time. For the purpose of safe, effortless sliding and positioning, electro-magnetic brakes in the joints are first released by pushing the orange buttons on the stand or microscope, and then automatically fixed by releasing the buttons after exact positioning. In addition, the smooth surfaces of the stand comply ideally with the strict disinfection requirements in operating theatres. With its ergonomics and precise functionality, the stand delivers a high degree of safety and user convenience – its clear design idiom truly enriches the surroundings.
