Darcor Revolutionizes Medical Casters with Introduction of The Medic Darcor
Revolutionising the global medical equipment industry, leading Canadian caster designer and manufacturer Darcor Limited has created the world’s first single-button, triple function caster.
The Medic®, the product of more than five years of research and development, features a patented multi-purpose cam, which permits one easy-to-engage foot pedal to control three caster functions – free swivel, swivel lock and total lock.
The result is a caster that boasts:
• The best mobility in the caster world – easier to start, roll and swivel than all category competitors
• Aesthetically pleasing design – a colour-coded window shows the caster position (green for free swivel, yellow for swivel lock, red for total lock)
• Neoprene wheels – which are much softer than wheels on competitor medical casters and are both quieter and able to clear obstacles and reject debris without difficulty
• Improved braking – a typical cart with four Medic casters can easily hold 600 pounds of weight on a ten-degree incline
• Hardened ball races – which prevent excessive wear and premature failure
Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, Darcor exports its casters to some of the world’s leading medical, industrial and automotive companies across 20 countries.
The Medic® also exceeds the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) 60601 specifications for medical equipment. For more information on The Medic®, please visit www.darcormedic.com.
