Gas Spring Solutions for the Medical Industry
Highly Specialized: An aircraft manufacturer designs and builds moveable lightweight medical stretchers for emergency personnel on first response helicopters. Using our lightweight aluminum locking spring, originally designed for aerospace, allowed this customer to increase the capacity of their stretcher limits, yet retain the same or less mass of the spring.
Safe & Reliable: A leading equipment manufacturer relies on specially designed locking gas springs, to assist in the support stirrups used in surgical procedures. The unique IGS design allows the springs to be "overloaded" in emergency situations without releasing the lock or reducing the force.
These designs, originally developed for use in aerospace seating, are uniquely suited for these demanding and MUST NOT FAIL environments. Who else but IGS?
