ENDOSCOPY CARTS

Featherweight® Endoscopy Carts are custom built to be the perfect fit for your needs. Whatever your design requirements are, PHS West, Inc. endoscopy carts are the solution.

More than 20 years ago, PHS West, Inc. became the innovators of the endoscopy travel cart. Our endoscopy carts are designed to be 100% custom built so we can meet your department’s exact equipment, supply, footprint and, most important, budget requirements.

MANUAL PROCEDURE CARTS

Featherweight® Double Endoscopy Cart

Our Featherweight® Double Endoscopy Cart design allows for all equipment and supplies to be located on one cart. Positioning allows everything to be located where it needs to be for convenient access mid-procedure for all parties including doctors, nurses, and technicians.

Featherweight® Single Short Endoscopy Cart

For situations where something small and simple is needed in a confined procedure room, the Featherweight® Single Short Endoscopy Cart fits the bill.

Featherweight® Single Tower Endoscopy Cart

In situations where redundant pieces of equipment or if supplies are needed on a cart, when a small footprint is necessary, the Featherweight® Single Tower Endoscopy Cart is an excellent choice.

MOTORIZED PROCEDURE TRAVEL CARTS

Featherweight® SPECS™ Motorized Endoscopy Cart

All of the equipment necessary for every travel case is on a motorized cart. The supplies are organized in a trailer supply cart which is specific to individual procedures. The image monitor is on a rolling monitor stand that connects to the whole system. Grab the motorized equipment cart, connect the supply trailer and image monitor and off you go. All three pieces separate and are individually positioned in the patient’s room.

Featherweight® Motorized Double Endoscopy Cart

As the mainstay of PHS motorized travel carts, the Featherweight® Motorized Double Endoscopy Cart has everything you need and nothing you don’t. Every endoscopy cart is designed by you with the aid of Karis sales and design consultants to ensure all of your equipment and supplies are organized optimally for your work flow at the patients bedside.

STORAGE

Locking Drawers | 4″, 6″, 8″, 12″

Multiple drawer size combinations are available in the “gang” locking drawer cabinets. Operating one lock will secure all of the drawers in one cabinet instead of needing to lock drawers individually. These 4”, 6”, 8”, and 12” drawers can stack up in any combination equaling a total of 12”. Depending on the cart model you choose, the equipment required on the cart, and any other accessories, multiple drawer cabinets can be accommodated in your design. Individual 6” drawers not housed within the multi-drawer cabinet are optional.

Drawer Dividers

Insert drawer dividers into any drawer for superior organization. Dividers can be adjusted front to back and side to side to accommodate different sizes of supplies.

Storage Cabinets

A variety of storage cabinet options are available and are based on the type of supplies which are used during procedures.

Tilt Bins

For storage of small items, tilt bins on a riser are an option for any cart. Combinations available with four large bins and/or five small bins with an optional upgrade to locking bins.

Glove Box Holder

Glove box holders accommodate one, three, or four boxes of gloves allowing you to free up space in drawers or on shelves with quick access to clean gloves when needed, mid-procedure.

ACCESSORIES

Scope Holder

Scope Holders are designed to fit scopes in the manner in which the manufacture intended are a common option. Securely drape the scope to free space on the work surface for other uses.

Keyboard Tray with Mouse Surface

The fold down Keyboard Tray and Mouse Surface locks up in place securely, storing the keyboard when not in use. It also folds down off of the end of the cart to use in its convenient location next to a monitor to ensure maximum efficiency during data entry. The slide out Keyboard Tray and Mouse Surface are stored securely under the work surface off the cart and glide out easily when needed.

Tank Holder

Optional Tank Holders

  • Argon tanks
  • Oxygen tanks
  • Co2 tanks

Foot Pedal Holder

Store the foot pedals of your equipment on the outside of the cart freeing up space inside for other storage needs.

Wire Basket

Wire baskets fix to the end of the cart for extra storage when needed.

Flip Up Work Surface

The flip up work surface is added to the end of a cart for extra working space. Fold down when not in use and flip up with braces that fall into place when needed.

CPU Mount

When space is at a premium within the cart, mounting the computer on the outside edge may be the perfect solution for making everything fit.

MONITOR MOUNTING OPTIONS

Monitor Arm Options

Several different mounting options available based on your specific monitor needs.

Monitor Riser

Free up space on your work surface by mounting your Monitor Arm to the Monitor Riser.

Monitor Stands

The Featherweight® Monitor Stands can be conveniently positioned for easy view of the scope image in endoscopy procedure rooms.

Travel cases are made even easier by connecting the Monitor Stand to your travel cart for transport. Once at the patient’s bedside, the Monitor Stand disconnects from the travel cart allowing normal positioning capabilities in procedure rooms.
