Diagnostics

  • In diagnostics and image capturing, a USB dongle transfers footswitch signals into the system for seamless data transfer.
  • For image capturing during surgeries, a hand control is used to capture 2D/3D images with precision and ease.
  • In diagnostics, a Bluetooth footswitch activates the photo-taking function during medical imaging procedures.
  • During dental motion capturing, a footswitch is used to activate functions, enhancing workflow efficiency.
  • In MRI machines, a pressure switch enables the nurse call function using a "sip and puff" technique, allowing easier communication for patients.
  • In electromyography, a triple-pedal footswitch operates the device used for diagnosing diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system, offering precise control during examinations.

Equipment

  • In dental anesthesia equipment, a foot switch is used to activate the injection system during procedures.
  • For dental chairs, a multi-pedal footswitch is utilized to activate various instrument functions for improved precision.
  • For dental lasers, a foot switch is used to activate the laser for teeth treatment, providing ease of operation during procedures.
  • In electrosurgical devices, a foot switch activates the CUT and COAG functions for tissue cutting and coagulation.
  • In endoscopic aspiration, an airswitch and bellow are used to activate necessary functions during the procedure.
  • In hair removal epilators, a foot switch is employed to activate the device during treatment for precise control.
  • For eye surgery lasers, a foot switch is used to activate the laser during operation, ensuring accurate and controlled laser application.
  • In intensive care beds, a pressure switch controls multimedia terminal functions using a "sip and puff" technique, enhancing communication for patients.
  • In intraoperative neuro monitoring, a foot switch is used to trigger stimulation, allowing the surgical team to manage the procedure with ease.

Medical Research

  • In microscope research, a footswitch system with a joystick is used to manage functions on the microscope, allowing for precise control and ease of operation during research tasks.
