GCX Corporation, the worldwide leader in medical instrument and IT mounting solutions, introduces the new VHM-25™ variable height support arm, a small-profile version of its best-selling VHM™ Series of Variable Height Mounts.
The new VHM-25 is available in two models: a channel mount version and a countertop “bolt-down” version with hidden fasteners. Horizontal and angled 7-inch (17.8-cm) extension options provide longer reach, and hide cables internally for improved cleanability.
GCX created the space-saving design specifically for health care environments. The small amount of space the VHM-25 occupies makes it a natural solution space planners can use to easily integrate flat-screen displays into tight settings.
The VHM-25 is not only smaller, but more adjustable. It gives the mounted device 12 inches (30.5 cm) of height adjustment, side-to-side pivot, tilt angle adjustment, and rotation between portrait and landscape orientations.
The next-generation design of the VHM-25 offers health care institutions a support arm that’s both easy to clean and durable. The seamless top surface is impervious to liquids, while the cast-aluminum housing will stand up to rough handling and cleaning solutions normally used in healthcare facilities.
“The new VHM-25 support arm is more than an aesthetic update for GCX”, said Vice President of Development Cris Daugbjerg.
“This latest development from GCX points the direction for next-generation support arms that must meet healthcare institutions’ long-term mounting needs,” he said. “Our customers expect GCX products to embody solid construction and an upgradeable, open-architecture design approach. The VHM-25 now introduces these key GCX attributes to a small form factor.”
