Cabled foot switches
Even though we are pioneering in the use of wireless technology for the OR, we also offer a wide range of user interfaces with cabled signal transmission, developed specifically for medical equipment.
One example is the MKF-MED GP26 series. The features of this 2-pedal foot control include an extremely robust aluminium console. The switch can be operated intuitively, with the foot of the surgeon resting to the left or right of the control. Dividing bars on both sides prevent unintentional actuation and serve as orientation, leaving the surgeon to concentrate fully on the patient. The medical device manufacturer can select extra actuators for additional functions as a further option. This switch series transmits both digital and analogue signals and is available in protection classes up to IP X8.
Furthermore, the steute Meditec range of cabled foot controls also includes – to name just one other example – multi-pedal user interfaces and foot controls for laser medicine.
