Abstract
A tilt resistant stand for medical devices may include a base with casters and an upright support with a mounting portion for a medical device. A stand for medical devices can be resistant to tilting by having a gravitational centroid that is substantially vertically aligned with the geometric centroid of the base for enhanced stability, where the gravitational centroid is defined as a combined center of gravity of the medical device stand and any medical devices mounted thereto and the geometric centroid of the base is defined as a horizontal planar region having the casters as vertices. The gravitational centroid may be substantially vertically aligned with the geometric centroid due to a horizontal offset between the mounting portion and the geometric centroid.
