Medical foot switches suited to your needs
Across all medical disciplines, devices and control functions are becoming increasingly complex. Not surprisingly, there has been a clear move towards customer-specific user interfaces. steute is well-prepared to supply custom medical foot controls and interfaces, with committed developers, a fully equipped R&D centre, high levels of medical expertise, and a comprehensive range of services across the entire course of a project.
We engineer custom foot controls, switches and pedals which are ideally suited to the needs of each customer, considering factors such as environmental conditions, ergonomic comfort levels, medical device design, range of actuators, and ultimately, the device operators themselves.
As a medium-sized company with short decision paths and flexible manufacturing, we will be happy to develop and produce your “perfect switch”—an exclusive design with individual housings, special actuators, and safety features. Please do not hesitate to contact our Meditec consultants.
We were asked by DORC to further develop the foot switch for their EVA Phaco Vitrectomy System, optimising its precision and technical versatility in the OR.
In collaboration with DORC, we designed an individual operating concept for the integrated foot switch which featured a multitude of practical and adaptable components, as well as improved user efficiency.
Thank you DORC for your trust in us and your tremendous cooperation!
Find out more about the individual operating concept of the foot switch in the DORC video.
