ABITUS

In the emergency room where time is measured in heartbeats and heart-beats are all that separate life from death. When seconds count, and the price of failure is too high...Even the best professionals need all the help you can provide so make sure they have Abitus on hand, with all the tools they need whatever the job.

Has been paid special attention to combi-nation of shapes and materials reaching a remarkable aesthetic integration of the different parts that form this ceiling sus-pended unit. Within the suspension pipes, medical gas-es and electrical cables are housed in sep-arate isolated compartments which are vertically divided by an internal division. The equipment is distributed between the horizontal unit, trolleys and columns. It is painted in grey colour making a nice contrast with the white standard co-lour of the horizontal unit. If desired, dimmable ballast may be equipped in order to adjust lighting level.

The ceiling suspended unit can be equipped with movable trolleys that ro-tate 360o and move along the proÀle with a limitation in order not to interfere with the bed.As braking system for rotation and trans-lation movement, it is used a mechani- cal one with manual activation.Monitoring and infusion trolleys can be equipped with accessories such as tech-nical rails, shelves, drawers, vertical poles, infusion stands and others. All this equip-ment turn the unit versatile for the differ-ent conÀgurations required depending of the unit needs.

ICARUS

The design and engineer team have developed the most technological bed head unit of TediselMedical range. Special design and singular finish-ing possibilities makes this product a daring and unique choice.

One aluminium profile with compart-ments for direct light and mecha-nisms, medical gases and indirect light.Patient identification card hold-er and night light (LED).Nurse call light (LED).ICARUS is suitable for T5 fluorescent lamps and LED lighting modules.

Direct light diffuser has a special internal structure to re-direct light to the patient. The unit is closed with magnetic rounded shape end covers and security screws.Can be personalized using several materials (such as Co-rian, HPL or poly- carbonate) to adapt its design to differ-ent environments. It can be installed either horizontal or vertically and there is a preinstallation support for ease of installation.

As an example of flexibility and open minded philosophy, has been developed for TediselMedical a bed head unit in co-operation with an architectural office to cover the needs for a special project. Min-imalistic design with squared shape is not against functionality and ease of mainte-nance.

Produced with 2 extruded aluminium profiles di-vided in 3 compartments for electrical mecha-nisms and direct lighting, medical gases and indi-rect lighting.Tilting cover to access the unit has been designed for aesthetical purposes and to access electrical and gases compartments. Architectural integra-tion thanks to hidden position of the electrical mechanisms in the lower part of the unit.It is possible to install any medical gas standard and/or brand.

Two innovative medical devices on minimally invasive treatments for pa-tients with cardiovascular diseases.

iChrom is the Inert Cobalt Chromium coronary stent. Design, architecture and profile optimized. Treated with innovative ionic implantation technol-ogy that ensures low restenosis.

Fenix is the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in IHT. A heart valve inside the old tight valve using a balloon catheter. The valve is made up of a metal frame (stent) and the outer lining (pericardium) of a cow’s heart.

Variety of products for Peripherical cardiovascular Division. Designing a new Surgical Scissors For sutures, a hand-held stent delivery system for coronary devices or a Tubing programmer for sirgury tasks.

A transcatheter valve is compressed onto a balloon mounted on a catheter, inserted between the ribs, threaded through the apex of the heart and deployed securely into place directly over the patient’s diseased aortic valve. The transapical approach provides an option for patients whose arterial anatomy will not accommodate other transcatheter approaches. The transapical and transfemoral approaches provide patient care alternatives.

Trans-catheter aortic valve implantation replaces your existing valve with a new tissue valve, thereby improving how your heart works without having open heart surgery.TAVI involves placing an artificial valve into your heart. During the procedure, a thin tube, the catheter, is introduced through a small cut either at the top of the leg or on the left hand-side of the chest. The TAVI valve sits within a small metal cage (also known as a stent) and is crimped onto the end of the catheter.

Space&Soul is the first collection of Idispaces, created by the union of four companies based on stone.

Artemai, Grabados en Mármol, Rubiostone and Artemasol. This union is leaded by our team and the distinguished collaboration of the business owners.

The aim of this project is to find a new market niche where the stone as a raw material can gain relevance, considering that the usual market is construction.

Every product use dife rent kind of technologies which are at the service of the consumer’s needs, such as Waterproff systems, heating and hydraulics.

The vision for what the be.in Bristol will be is deeply involved in the design based ‘making culture’. Designed, prototyped, and fabricated all the furniture in the venue with developing skills in CNC operating. Chairs, vertical garden modules (made of 98% post-consumer recycled plastics), tables, artworks, lighting schemes, and many other aspects have all fallen into remit.

A decidedly low carbon bar/restaurant where locally sourced is taken to another level, with own furniture.In a factory in St Werburghs design takes place, cutting out and creating all kind of furniture from tables to back bar.

The transformation of the City Road gateway site is central in sustaining the renaissance currently underway in Stokes Croft. A situation inspired through direct action at the grassroots.

This commitment in design is to ensure that Stokes Croft remains a place of outstanding creativity in both individual and shared eccentricities, an open outdoor gallery, a living, breathing, evolving sculpture. As much forum for local voices, as inviting destination, welcoming one-and-all. A place of social inclusion.

Our design represents a response to the brief that has developed and matured according to both local need and a vision. This vision is composed of a blending of the arts, sustainable design/technology and nature with central focus upon the social.
