Lojer Solido Pendant Overview: Slim Ceiling Pendants for OR, ICU and Recovery

What Solido pendants are

Solido pendants give medical teams flexibility and ergonomics. They are described as configurable for operating rooms as surgical or anaesthesia pendants, and as pendants for intensive care and recovery, with the required electrical and medical components. This lets a hospital use one product family across several departments, which simplifies training, spare parts and cleaning routines.

The pendants are manufactured by LM Medical, Italy, and supplied by Merivaara, the operating-room brand of the Finnish Lojer group. Lojer was founded in 1919 and acquired Merivaara Oy in 2022. As configurations are always built to order, the final specification is agreed on a drawing before production.

For a hospital with several departments, this standardisation has practical value: the same cleaning method, the same family of spare parts and a consistent look from theatre to ICU. It also simplifies conversations with the biomedical team, who service one platform instead of several.

Design: slim, seamless and easy to clean

The slim profile and rounded corners take little space around the patient, an advantage in busy theatres where the pendant, lights and monitor arms share the same ceiling. The surface is seamless with no visible fixing screws, which makes it easier to wipe and disinfect than designs with exposed fixings.

A brake system provides stable and precise movement, with indicator lighting. Profiles can be painted in RAL colours, so the pendant can match the room's scheme or help identify roles, for example anaesthesia and surgical units. Compare this with other designs when you read the pendant buying guide.

Technical data to review

Published data for Solido includes a supply voltage of 100-230 VAC at 50/60 Hz, a maximum power of 2000 W per socket, a degree of protection of IP20 and an operating-room noise level below 35 dB. These are starting points: the project's electrical design, protective earth and equipotential bonding, and the applicable parts of IEC 60601-1 must be considered together.

Ask for the configuration drawing, arm lengths and load ratings for your project. These depend on the configuration, so do not assume values from a different model. For installation, check ceiling plate, void depth and first-fix positions in the installation requirements guide.

The noise level below 35 dB in the operating room is worth noting for theatres where quiet is part of the working environment. As with all published data, ask the supplier to confirm the test conditions and the configuration to which the figure refers.

• Supply voltage 100-230 VAC, 50/60 Hz
• Power per socket up to 2000 W
• Degree of protection IP20
• Noise level in the OR below 35 dB
• Built to order, RAL colour options

Configurations by department

For surgical use, plan suction, drive gas, sockets for electrosurgery and shelves for devices. For anaesthesia, plan gases, scavenging, many sockets and monitor mounting. For intensive care and recovery, plan outlets per bed and consider cable routing and bed access; see the pendant configuration checklist.

Splitting the load between a head-end and a surgical pendant is common practice in theatres; our article on surgical and anaesthesia pendants explains the logic. In recovery bays a simpler layout often suffices, as described in recovery and emergency pendants.

Questions to ask and how to order

Before ordering, confirm: configuration drawing approval, gas outlet standard, socket types, arm lengths, load rating, brake type, colours, documentation of conformity, service and spare-parts availability, and installation responsibilities. Ask the supplier to show you the product in context, ideally in a reference installation, and request the documentation package.

Beckfinity supplies Solido pendants to hospitals in the UAE and can coordinate drawings, delivery, installation and maintenance. Contact our specialists to discuss a configuration or request a quote.

Finally, plan the order timing. Because every Solido configuration is built to order, drawing approval, production and delivery should be scheduled in step with the construction programme so that the pendant arrives when the ceiling is ready.
