Ceiling-Mounted Design: OT pendants are typically suspended from the ceiling to free up floor space in operating rooms and other clinical areas. They are mounted on a rail system or pendant arm, allowing them to be moved into various positions as needed.

Gas Outlets: Pendants often have integrated gas outlets for medical gases like oxygen, nitrous oxide, and compressed air. These outlets provide a convenient and flexible supply of gases to the surgical team.

Electrical Outlets: Electrical outlets on the pendant allow for the connection of medical equipment, such as surgical lights, monitors, and medical devices, without the need for long power cords.

Data and Communication Ports: Some OT pendants feature data and communication ports for the integration of monitors, video cameras, and other devices used in surgery. This enables real-time data sharing and video recording of procedures.

Equipment Shelves: Pendants may include shelves or equipment trays to hold surgical instruments and tools, keeping them within easy reach of the surgical team.

Cable Management: Built-in cable management systems keep electrical cables, hoses, and wires organized and out of the way to prevent tangling and tripping hazards.

Adjustable Arm and Swivel Function: OT pendants can be adjusted in height and angle to position equipment and utilities precisely where needed during surgery. Some models also offer swivel functionality for added flexibility.

Infection Control: Pendants are designed with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces to support infection control measures in clinical environments.

Controls and Touchscreens: Some pendants feature touchscreen control panels for adjusting equipment, lights, and gas flow, allowing the surgical team to make adjustments without leaving the sterile field.

Brake System: Pendant arms often have brake systems or locking mechanisms to secure them in place during surgery.

Variety of Configurations: Pendants come in various configurations, such as single-arm or dual-arm designs, to accommodate the specific needs and layout of the operating room.

Integration with Ceiling Systems: In some modern healthcare facilities, the pendant systems are integrated with ceiling systems that include lighting, air supply, and medical gas distribution.
