Facility booms designed to be securely and permanently attached to the floor and intended to organize and support hospital utility services (e.g., electricity, gas) and medical devices. These booms typically consist of a floor-mounted central support system equipped with movable arms, a pendant head, and an equipment carrier. Single support arms allow rotation of the pendant head and some also allow vertical involvement; double movable arms extend the pendant\'s range. The booms may include medical gas outlets, vacuum inlets, electric power outlets, communication systems, medical device support brackets, and attachments such as suction canisters and intravenous solution hangers. Floor-mounted facility booms are usually installed in operating rooms, intensive care units, catheterization and other special procedure areas, emergency rooms, and other healthcare areas.
