DuoFlex

DuoFlex is a ceiling mounted intensive care panel that provides access to advanced equipment while still maintaining freedom of movement and creating space around the patient, even at the head end. Cables and hoses are routed upwards to the panel, avoiding dangerous and irritating cable bundles while additional facilitating easy cleaning.

DuoFlex houses a great deal of equipment on both the front and back. Electrical outlet sockets, gas outlets and other functions are integrated in the panel according to the specification. The sloping sides ensure these functions are easily accessible. Each DuoFlex panel can be equipped with movable stands for electro-medical equipment – shelves, drawers, IC hoses for infusion pumps can be fitted to the stands. The panel can also be equipped with a trolley for a drip carrier and a mount for infusion pumps.
