5 Advantages of Unistrut for Medical Support Systems
January 25, 2023
Unistrut Midwest has been involved in the engineering, design, and installation of medical equipment supports for over seven decades. Our proven systems support X-ray equipment, surgical lighting, service columns, CT injectors, as well as other specialized medical equipment in healthcare facilities worldwide. Unistrut metal framing is universally recognized as the preferred material for architects and general contractors when designing or installing medical equipment support systems.
5 Advantages of Unistrut Metal Framing for Medical Support Systems
- Infinite Adjustability
- Unistrut medical support systems allow both basic and micro-adjustments, so installations can be quickly and easily adapted to specific site conditions. This allows us the flexibility to design a support for almost any system, as well as the ability to adjust the supports for the inevitable conflicts that occur during construction.
- Adaptability
- During installation, built-in adjustment capabilities allow the system to be fine-tuned to precisely match site conditions. With its inherent strength and versatility, the Unistrut medical support system adapts to a wide range of environments and design parameters.
- Bolted Connections
- The mechanical channel nut and bolt connection of the Unistrut system means the system can be easily altered in the event of renovation or the addition of new equipment. This allows the end-user flexibility to re-use existing medical equipment support for future equipment.
- No Welding
- Our slotted channel framing supports require no welded steel connections. This allows us to save the end-user time by eliminating the need for hot work permits, causes no smoke or odor, and allows for faster installation times. The Unistrut systems are also able to be modified in the field in the event the owner changes equipment or the room layout.
- Fast and Cost Efficient
- Unistrut medical supports often utilize prefabricated components which reduce on-site man-hours and installation times. Unistrut Midwest specializes in fast-paced or off-hours projects that have demanding schedules. Our crews are able to install Unistrut support systems much faster than traditional welded steel structures
Unistrut Support Structures are the ideal product for supporting overhead X-Ray or Cath Lab Equipment. Whether you are looking for a simple 3-Rail system or a more complex universal grid, Unistrut Midwest has the knowledge and experience to provide you with the correct support for your project.
Unistrut UMS Boom Supports are Modular Medical Equipment Supports designed for modern surgical lights, anesthesia booms, and other ceiling hung equipment with high moment loads. The Unistrut UMS Support provides an all-bolted solution to traditional welded medical equipment supports. The all-bolted UMS Support System allows for field modifications that are quick, inexpensive, and require no hot works permits. The systems can be adjusted for different vendors which should make the UMS Boom reusable in the event new equipment is brought into the OR Room.
CT Injector and Monitor Support Systems
CT Injectors, Monitors, and Televisions are low weight items often found throughout the hospital that require structural supports, but are often forgotten about until late into the design/construction process. Unistrut Equipment supports are an ideal solution for these products since we have standard designs, use off the shelf products, and can easily work around the existing MEP Services in the interstitial space.
Unistrut Medical Support Systems are designed to be infinitely adjustable and adaptable to most field conditions seen in hospital environments. By utilizing Unistrut’s multiple channel profiles and fittings, we are able to develop a solution to meet a virtually limitless number of medical applications. Unlike other medical equipment support materials, our system features components designed specifically to meet the performance demands of the most advanced medical equipment.
