Safety Castors

How can you reduce the workload of doctors and nursing staff without compromising patient safety? By using surgical robots

You have most likely encountered the problem of overcrowded hospitals. One reason for this is demographic change, which is leading to an increase in the average age of patients and nursing staff. Unfortunately, new qualified staff are also rarely coming in and the shortage of qualified staff is increasing. This is because the high stress levels put off new recruits. This fact alone is an enormous burden for hospitals. In addition, doctors are constantly required to perform at their best. Operations are becoming increasingly complex and more frequent. Due to operations lasting several hours in a poor ergonomic posture, doctors often suffer from so-called side effects of surgery, such as pain in the limbs and joints. As a result, doctors suffer from physical limitations and surgery patients are put at risk. A solution is needed, and this solution is called: surgical robots.

Outstanding precision and safety in hospitals with surgical robots and our locking systems with torsional stiffness

These days, surgical robots are being used more and more frequently in hospitals. They can relieve the burden on the doctor, the hospital staff and thus on the patients. Surgical robots can compensate for the doctor's trembling hands and support the doctor's ergonomics, as he or she often must stand in a poor ergonomic position for hours during an operation. Also, surgical robots can save considerable time during certain procedures, such as a biopsy, while ensuring precision at the same time.

Many robotic applications (e.g., robotic assistance systems in surgery or needle and biopsy robots) require a safe and stable stand. Once fixed, the robot must not move a millimetre from the spot during treatment! This is where we can offer you high-precision solutions.

Our solutions for you

Due to our many years of experience with surgical applications, we understand the market requirements for robotic systems in the medical field very well. When it comes to surgical robots, we specialise in two central elements of surgical robots: Highest precision and safety.

1. Integral twin torsion for more patient safety:
This castor offers highest precision in the locked state and maximum torsional stiffness with different wheel diameters and different heights.

2. Cable catchers for the protection of cables:
To prevent staff from accidentally running over fibre optic cables or important life-support cables, we offer castors with cable catchers.

Your advantages with our high-precision solutions:

No play of movement for medical robots on TENTE castors.
Increased safety for patients, staff and equipment.
Flexible fitting to your application.

Our service for you
We offer you our service to test your castors with our own resources according to EN60601 and the Rough Handling Test. This allows you to use our castors below your surgical robots without any concern.

For this, you are welcome to come in person or contact our medical experts. Simply fill out the contact form below in a few steps and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Together we will find the right mobility solution for you.

How does a surgical robot work?

A surgical robot assists invasive procedures by being connected to a panel with control elements. The surgeon uses this control to operate the basic functions of the device and the electronic wrists. These are more flexible than the human wrist and can therefore access difficult-to-reach areas with even greater precision. Some surgical robots can also perform tasks autonomously, but even in these procedures the surgeon has the upper hand and guards the panel. At present, medical robots are mainly used for biopsies, in urology and gynaecology, and for high-precision operations on the heart or eye.

Why are surgical robots considered useful?
A surgical robot can work more precisely and compensates for any slight tremor on the part of the doctor. In addition, working at the control panel supports an ergonomic posture for the doctor. In addition to relieving the doctor, there are also advantages for the patients. Precise work reduces surgical trauma, pain and contributes to a faster recovery. This shortens the time spent in hospital, resulting in a reduced rate of complications associated with hospital stays.

Can surgical robots replace medical staff?
Surgical robots do not perform full surgeries, but they assist them. Humans still have a sense of practical judgement that an AI does not have. Therefore, a surgical robot assists the doctor, but the assessment and evaluation itself is done by the doctor performing the surgery.
