n an industrial setting, power is measured in tons and speed. In healthcare, it is measured in the silent, smooth, and jolt-free movement that protects a patient’s life and a surgeon’s precision. For medical devices, “failure” is not an option, and “almost” is not acceptable.
Carehyd engineers the invisible heart of the most critical medical equipment. We have moved hydraulics beyond the factory floor, creating compact, silent, and leak-proof electro-hydraulic systems that provide life-saving power with an un-matched level of gentleness and reliability.
Carehyd is your one-stop shop for hydraulic equipment procurement.
The Clinical Mandate: Safety, Silence, & Smoothness
A hospital environment has no equal. It demands a unique combination of power and precision that only advanced, specialized hydraulics can provide.
Absolute Patient Safety: A patient-lift cannot drift. A surgical table cannot sag. Our systems are engineered with “zero-drift” locking valves that hold their position perfectly, guaranteeing patient and clinician safety.
Silent & Jolt-Free Motion: A patient’s comfort and a surgeon’s steady hand depend on it. Unlike electric drives that can “jerk” or whine, Carehyd’s hydraulic systems provide a “whisper-quiet” and perfectly fluid motion for all adjustments.
Hygienic & Sealed Design: Medical devices are subjected to aggressive chemical cleaning and disinfection. Our solutions are fully sealed, often in stainless steel, (rated to IP67 or higher) to prevent fluid ingress and ensure perfect hygiene.
Compact Power Density: A modern hospital bed or OR table is packed with technology. A hydraulic system delivers immense lifting power in a fraction of the space, allowing for more compact, ergonomic, and feature-rich device designs.
Powering the Point of Care: Carehyd Applications
1. Surgical & Operating Room (OR) Tables This is the ultimate test of precision. Our systems provide the stable, jolt-free power for height, tilt, and Trendelenburg adjustments, giving surgeons a rock-solid, silent platform. Integrated “zero-drift” valves lock the table’s position instantly and permanently.
2. Patient Lifts & Handling (Bariatric-Capable) Carehyd provides the raw power to lift and transfer patients (up to 500kg / 1000+ lbs) with total safety and gentleness. A compact hydraulic cylinder does the work effortlessly, eliminating strain on caregivers and ensuring a dignified patient experience.
3. Diagnostic Imaging (MRI, CT & X-Ray) This is a highly specialized application. We engineer non-ferrous hydraulic actuators that are MRI-safe (MR-conditional). The hydraulic actuator (with no metal) can operate the patient table inside the magnetic bore, while the compact pump is located safely outside the room, a feat impossible for standard electric motors.
4. Advanced Hospital Beds & Stretchers Our silent, self-contained hydraulic actuators power the smooth articulation of modern hospital beds, allowing for effortless patient repositioning, height adjustment, and transport, all at the touch of a button.
