As the demand for Hybrid ORs continues to increase, you can confidently welcome new clinical specialties into your FlexArm environment, and also embrace new treatment options for current user groups. Today, the flexibility of FlexArm supports current user groups like vascular, cardiac, and neuro surgeons to perform their procedures with better ergonomics and an improved workflow.This flexibility further allows new clinical specialties like laparoscopic and thoracic surgeons as well as pulmonologists to benefit in the same way of advanced imaging capabilities to offer their patient innovative treatment options. As an example, the FlexArm gantry can be positioned at a 45 degree position to leave the head end unobstructed to create space for physicians and their bronchoscopes or lung ablation equipment. With FlexArm, you are provided with a platform for innovation - today and tomorrow. The spring wire materials are carefully selected for an ideal combination of strength, fatigue, and resistance. The shaped wire is selected for formability, wear, corrosion protection, and even weight contribution. All those factors can play a big role when using a flex arm as a component in any device. If our clients have any other concerns or questions about how a flex arm may hold up in different environments, we may also take those factors into consideration. Look, I don’t care if you’re a baker or a Zamboni driver — no one likes to give away trade secrets or proprietary methods (especially with our flex arm). Why? Because that’s what makes us special, right? Well, sort of. We think that a great idea is a product of surrounding yourself with good people, listening, and using a critical mind. That’s why we’re confident that even if you learn a little bit about what’s in the secret sauce of our flex arm you’ll still want to work with us. In its most basic form, a flex arm is a coil spring wrapped with a triangular-shaped wire. The bending motion forces the triangles out on the inside of wherever it bends, pulling the triangles in on the outside. This wedges the spring, keeping it stable because of the friction. While these ideas can be expounded on (let’s talk materials, lubricants, etc), that’s the basic thought behind any flex arm. Coverings are an important final choice to protect the friction properties of the arm — either from lubricants or dust that could sacrifice arm strength over time. Certain combinations of coverings can add important properties like strain relief to maximize durability for frequently adjusted arms. This is a big deal for clients who plan on having high-use devices — and something we have to think about when they come to us for material knowledge.
It’s all about the geometry of the two wires. That’s what determines the unique characteristics of our product — the strength, adjustability, and obedience that it gives the flex arm. While it may BE simple, its limitless application to a number of industries is what has made the flex arm such a valuable tool for product designers and engineers for decades. AccuVein with Flex Arm How do you select materials for a flex arm? Moffatt is a place where good ideas happen. Oh, and if you’re one of our employees and reading this blog — don’t worry, we’re not giving away everything. Your meatloaf recipe is still safe. All right, enough joking around. If you’re here, chances are you’re probably familiar with what a flex arm is. What you MIGHT not be familiar with is how a flex arm works. What’s the science behind a flex arm? Is the function of a flex arm the same depending on if you use it as a device holder or with a mount on a medical device? Are all flex arms made the same way? Our end-fitting material might be chosen for strength, corrosion resistance, or the ability to crimp to the flex arm. We might also factor in things like the types of finishes that are possible on each material — depending on the application. You might think this is where we’re done, right? Those are all the main components of a flex arm. You’d be right — except for one thing, the covering. CAPSA Tablet Mounting Solution What usually covers the flex arm? Combinations of wires can be selected for their noiseless properties — which might help keep the arm silent during an adjustment. That can happen by using dissimilar materials like steel or brass. Safety Shield with Magnet Base What makes the end fittings so special?
