Abstract
The present invention is directed to a stationary medical boom that can be easily installed on the floor of an existing operating room and that has one or more articulated arms used to position audio, video and medical equipment over an operating table in an operating room. The boom includes a stationary base configured to be attached to the floor of the operating room. One or more articulated boom arms are supported by the stationary base and extend out over the operating table. Articulated appendage arms, extending from the boom arms, are configured to support the audio, video and other medical equipment used in the operating room in the vicinity of the operating table. Both the articulated boom arm and the articulated appendage arm can be moved in either the X and/or Y directions. Consequently, the equipment supported by the appendage arm can be moved in virtually any position around the operating table.
