Hydraulic health applications by HAWE Micro Fluid

HAWE Micro Fluid's "Integrated Medical Solutions" stand for a compact design combined with high performance and reliability.  With this application range, HAWE supports the management of the challenges of demographic change and makes a valuable contribution to the improvement of medical care.

The product portfolio includes complete lifting columns, customized components, ready-to-connect sets and electronic controls.  These components and solutions are suitable for many fields of applications in medical technology and have been used successfully for more than 30 years.

Dental chair

The design of the drive for the patient's chair must strike a balance between a comfortable position for the patient, good accessibility from all sides and an ergonomic position for the dentist.  So design and function go hand in hand.  Hydraulic drives move tha patient reliably into the position necessary for treatment, irrespective of the patient's weight.  As a closed-circuit system it is virtually maintenance-free and offers a long working life.  The individual positions of the seat are infinitely variable and are reached without an jerkiness.

Requirements and benefits:

• Adjust height

• Adjusting the inclination of the leg rest and backrest

• Adjust backrest coordinated leg rest

• Horizontal shift

• Rotation around vertical axis

  
  

Floor lock system

Mobile medical devices, such as operating tables or surgical robots, must be firmly fixed, supported and levelled during their use, regardless of the surface.  The hydraulic components of HAWE Micro Fluid are compactly integrated into the medical device.

Requirements and functions:

• Locking
  

• Stabilization aid

• Damping

  
  

Operating table

Smooth, jerk-free and uniform movements of the lifting columns for operating tables, regardless of patient weight, are the basis for precise operations.  In general they are electrically operated, but they can also be equipped with a manual emergency operation option.  HAWE Micro Fluid offers a modular product family for the needs of your specific applications  Thanks to years of experience, customer-specific requirements can be fulfilled quickly and efficiently.

Requirements and functions:

• Stroke up/down
  

• Trendelenburg/Anti-Trendelenburg

• Tilt left/right

• Leg/back adjustment

• Longitudinal displacement

• Table foot fixing

• Kidney bridge

• Special equipment: Manual emergency operation, Floor-Lock-System

  
  

Rescue stretcher

Heavy lifting is part of everyday life for rescue services.  This can lead to spinal injuries.  Prevention is the goal here.  To further reduce the physical strain on the rescue personnel when loading patients, HAWE Micro Fluid offers lifting aid/lifting equipment that provides lift support.  In the future, legislators will prescribe lift support systems.

Requirements and functions:

• Lowering/lifting
  

• Easy operability

• Secured against accidental lowering

• Precisely adjustable speeds
  

• The high efficiency of the system and its emergency function provide endurance and safety
  

• Suitable for special transports (for example, premature babies)
  

• Kidney bridge

Exoskeletons

Exoskeletons improve the quality of life of people who are dependent on support due to injuries, illnesses or age-related limitations and at the same time help to expand human capabilities in various environments.  They are used in particular in medical rehabilitation, in industrial environments for work relief, in the fitness sector, but also in the area of everyday mobility.

In close cooperation with industry and research, HAWE Hydraulik has developed solutions for both active and passive exoskeletons.  The elastic properties of the hydraulic system, which can be implemented for a natural movement pattern, are particularly impressive.  The high force density of the hydraulics minimizes the moving masses.  the pump design offers the possibility to concentrate the energy in active systems on an exoskeleton joint.  In passive systems, the stepless as well as resistance-free adjustment to the desired end position are particularly advantageous.

Requirements and functions:

• Compact and lightweight design
  

• Precision and sensitivity in controlling movements
  

• Durability and low maintenance
  

• Support in case of immobility, restriction of movement, stability, balance and reduction of load on the wearer
  

• Safety of the overall system
