Pneumatic Systems​

Pneumatic and pressurized gas systems are essential in many medical and healthcare applications due to their high hygiene standards, speed, reliability, and ability to deliver substantial power in a compact form. They are utilized in medical devices such as compressed air equipment, surgical tools, ventilators, oxygen generators, and for infrastructure needs like climate control and filtration systems.

1. Pneumatic Tube Systems

Vacuum-powered pneumatic tube systems provide a secure, hygienic, and efficient way to transport sensitive items such as lab samples, patient records, and medications within hospitals and healthcare facilities. These systems have been adopted in over 100 NHS hospitals across the UK, with the first installation dating back to 1990.

2. Medical Air

Medical-grade compressed air is widely used in healthcare settings to support respiratory patients, and pneumatic systems are crucial in delivering this air, including systems for breathing air, surgical air, vacuum, and oxygen. To ensure air quality, these systems feature filters that remove contaminants, protecting medical staff and patients from airborne pathogens, including Covid-19.

3. Air Quality and Filtration Devices

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration systems, often powered by pneumatic technology, help maintain clean air in hospital wards and healthcare facilities by removing contaminants from the air. Pneumatic-powered filtration devices are more efficient and less prone to contamination than other fluid power systems. Additionally, they tend to operate more quietly than hydraulic systems, making them ideal for use in patient wards and treatment areas.

4. Climate Control Systems

Pneumatic systems are instrumental in climate control within hospitals, helping to regulate temperature and humidity levels. These systems are used in air curtains to maintain pressure differentials, as well as in climate control setups that automatically adjust conditions to meet specific operating parameters, transforming hospital climate control infrastructure.

5. Medical Rehabilitation Care

Pneumatic systems play a key role in medical rehabilitation by powering devices used to treat musculoskeletal disorders, such as compression machines, blood circulation devices, and electrotherapy pads. These systems enhance the effectiveness of rehabilitation treatments, enabling patients to recover from injuries more quickly and thoroughly.

6. Surgical Devices

Pneumatically powered surgical devices, such as staplers, saws, and drills, are becoming more common in operating theatres across the UK. These devices reduce tissue damage, facilitate minimally invasive procedures, and provide surgeons with greater precision and control. Additionally, they help reduce operator fatigue during long surgeries, lowering the risk of errors and improving surgical efficiency.
