    A new operating microscope floorstand was developed using a mild steel underbase and casters. This enhanced stability and safety, offering improved mobility over existing models.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Medical Device Design

    Background:

    • Operating microscopes are crucial for microsurgery.
    • Existing floorstands can be cumbersome and difficult to maneuver.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design and evaluate a novel, mobile floorstand for non-motorized operating microscopes.
    • To improve the stability and ease of movement for microscope setups.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a 1/4-inch mild steel plate underbase.
    • Integration of reinforced steel angles and 3-inch diameter casters.
    • Testing stability with weighted microscope components (zoom head, assistant scope, camera).

    Main Results:

    • The developed floorstand demonstrated stability and safety under full load.

  • The unit exhibited enhanced maneuverability compared to the previous floorstand.
  • The new design facilitates easier repositioning of the operating microscope.

    • Conclusions:

    • The novel floorstand design offers a stable, safe, and more mobile solution for non-motorized operating microscopes.
    • This development can improve workflow efficiency in surgical settings requiring precise microscope positioning.
