Safe Patient Handling and Ergonomic Perfection with the New Hand Control from LINAK

Online, July 9, 2013 (Newswire.com) - LINAK launches a new ergonomic hand control with a size and design that makes it suitable for one hand operation. The HB30 has many features which contribute to better user experience and makes it a fantastic working tool.

Essential information always at hand
HB30 and the JUMBO Care control box is the perfect match to ensure that you are in control of the patient lift. The JUMBO care enables diodes on the control box, in the hand control or in both.

The optional diodes on the HB30 provide essential information always at hand. The overload indicator helps prevent usage of lifts with e.g. obese patients which might lead to dangerous situations.

The battery indicator tells the user if the battery needs to be charged or if the battery condition is fine for lifting patients. The service indicator gives a reminder that it is time to service to ensure efficient maintenance.

Prevent dropping the hand control
The HB30 has an anti-slip coating on the back for a better grip to help prevent dropping the hand control on the floor. A broken hand control can lead to manual lifting or repositioning of the patient with high risk of back pains for the care giver.

Freedom of choice
The HB30 is adaptable to the usage situation. Choose between a magnet and a hook for hanging up the HB30, depending on what suits the medical application best. Another option is a hook with anti-slip coating on the inside to ensure that the hand control maintains the position when hung.

The front cover of the HB30 can also be customised to reflect the movements of the application.
The usage patterns and needs differ a lot depending on the application but the OpenBus programming allows control of movement adapted to the needs for safe patient treatment.

Yet another advantage of the HB30 is the exchangeable cables. Service can be done easily and a broken cable can be replaced quickly without replacing the hand control.

Try the HB30 for patient lifts or other medical applications for better user experience immediately.

New strong actuator
The LA43 is a new powerful actuator with lifting up to 8,000N. The LA43 ensures safe patient handling with many safety options. Manual lowering ensures that patients can be lowered in emergency situations - also without power on the system. Safe patient handling is furthermore ensured by high side load capacity if the patient lift is misused by pulling it from the side.

The LA43 completes the LINAK range of lifting actuators for all uses. The product range includes actuators with up to a maximum thrust of 12,000 N.

Connect your patient lift to a LINAK system solution based on more than 30 years of experience and global know-how.
