Abstract: A tool handling system including an overhead counter-balance and a control bar. The counter-balance uses a series of complementary springs to provide a counter-gravitational force to a suspended tool. When the user wishes to lift the tool from its equilibrium position, the user is assisted by the counter-gravitational force of the springs such that the tool may be lifted with only a small fraction of the force necessary to lift the tool unaided. The control bar will allow users to keep any cable away from a riser or other structure on which the tool is being used.

Abstract: An overhead equipment support system for a patient treatment zone, such as an operating room. The support system may comprise an assembly of service hubs interconnected by runway segments to partially or completely circumscribe the treatment zone at the ceiling level while leaving the area immediately above the treatment zone open for other services, such as laminar flow air-handling equipment. An extreme load extension arm may be supported on one or more of the hubs; each such arm is capable of supporting even the heaviest types of medical equipment commonly demanded in surgical suites, especially those supported on booms or articulating arms, thereby greatly increasing the potential operating sphere of each such device. Trolleys are supported on the runway for movement between service hubs. Each trolley can support a medical device in a range of positions around the periphery of the zone as needed by the surgical team.
