Bender UK is the exclusive distributor of Merivaara operating tables and clinical trolleys in the UK and Republic of Ireland. We supply, maintain and service a range of operating tables and trolleys used in hospitals as part of our turnkey healthcare solutions.
With a history in the development of operating tables, Merivaara has accumulated the know-how to guarantee tables are functional and safe. Merivaara focus on providing clinical solutions that ensure efficient patient flow and improve the surgical environment.
These heavy-duty mobile operating tables can be used for a variety of surgeries. With excellent ergonomics, all clinical teams have easy access to the patient without compromising on comfort.
Versatile and adaptable, the tables can be positioned in various posture possibilities for easy adjustment. All operating tables and trolleys are available with a comprehensive range of accessories.
To experience the Merivaara tables, visit our theatre showroom or take the 3D tour of our technology.
In group 2 medical locations, the use of unearthed systems (IT systems) is a mandatory requirement in accordance with electrical and healthcare standards. Any interruption to the power supply is disruptive to services and potentially life-threatening to the patients. The mandatory use of Medical IT power means medical electrical devices/systems remain active on a first fault and there is no dangerous increase in the touch voltage. Through the incorporation of Bender Sil 2 compliant changeover technology and uninterruptible power, resilience can be improved and risks reduced.
Industry standards, including IEC 60364-7-710 and HTM06-01, require that if a hospital’s main power supply fails an alternative should kick-in within 0.5 seconds, at least in areas where isolated power is installed. And for some electronic equipment even this is too long.
Electrical power supplies and IPS systems can have their reliability enhanced with Uninterruptible Power Supplies, ATICs and back-up generators. UPS systems can be supplied as standalone units or for enhanced resilience, may be configured as N+ 1 solution with single, double or triple input supplies. Isolated Power Supplies configured with ATICs and N+1 UPS systems are often considered the most resilient solutions available.
Alarms and diagnostics from the various elements of the system can be integrated to provide operational reports, predictive forecasts, current and emergency information.
This can be supplied directly to theatre staff, facilities managers and other appropriate people.
Touchscreen theatre control panels (TCPs) are widely adopted for use within hospital operating theatres and critical care areas to help surgeons monitor clocks, power, essential technologies, and combine controls through a single interface panel.
TCPs have advanced, from a stainless steel designed panel to the inclusion of membrane push buttons, and now they incorporate more advanced features and glass facias.
COMTRAXX® CP9 24” is an innovative theatre control panel offering a sleek and sophisticated method of controlling the entire operating theatre from a central location.
The design incorporates human machine interface (HMI) and programmable logic controller for integration of connected systems such as lighting, temperature and humidity, ventilation and other critical alarms controls.
Signalling, operation, communication – Overview of your system Despite the increasing presence of technology in today's society – people retain a crucial role. These people need to be provided with the right information, in the right place and at the right time, so that they can take prompt and appropriate action.
OpenOR™ is a compact AV system which integrates operating room devices, data and image management. The OpenOR™ Classic or enhanced Over IP options are available to purchase through Bender in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

A considered approach to the design of theatres and workspaces, advances working practises for nurses and improves clinical outcomes for patients.
Medical pendants create an efficient nursing environment by delivering safer, more ergonomic and streamlined access to medical equipment and gases, improving space, accessibility and reducing hazards within the patient area.
Bender UK offers a range of flexible, modular class 2 B pendant solutions. With a variety of configurations and different arm options, they provide essential supplies, data outlets, electrical sockets and a range of accessories that are customised to hospital specifications.
Premium quality pendants designed and installed by Bender UK, improve the working environment for hospital staff and reduce the risk of harm and infection for patients.
All the information, including any alarms from operating theatres or intensive care units, comes together at the nurses’ station. It is good when the alarm indicator and test combination installed is as compact, simple to use and clear as possible. External alarms, (UPS off, laser warning on, etc.) should also be visible there. Alarm indicator and test combinations from Bender are adapted to your specific requirements.
The purpose of an EBB or earth reference bar (ERB) is to equalise the potential difference between conductive parts and protective conductors located in the Group 1 and 2 Medical Locations.
All extraneous metalwork within the patient area must be bonded to the EBB. In these areas the measured resistance of the protective conductor between the earth terminal of any socket-outlet (or fixed equipment) and any extraneous conductive part shall not exceed 0.2Ω, assuming type `B` MCBs are being used and further consideration should be given when using alternative types.
Bender EBBs are available in a range of size and specifications. Options include non-ferrous, single and multi-patient in flush or surface mount enclosures.
