During elbow, hand and shoulder procedures, surgeons often require the patient’s arm to remain raised and precisely positioned. New pneumatically-powered articulating equipment can support and provide traction for the heaviest limbs, thereby eliminating the need for an additional surgical aide during the procedure. Positioning is instantaneously controlled by the surgeon by use of a foot pedal. Clippard’s product provide the force in an intensifier circuit that unlocks the mechanical mechanisms for this innovative medical engineering company.

Charles's law states:  If the pressure is constant, the volume of a mass of gas is proportional to the absolute temperature. The absolute temperature is always 273 Kelvin more than the centigrade temperature.

A useful expression of this physics law is:

The first need for miniature pneumatics was for the automation of testing RF coils. Leonard Clippard searched for the right components...  they didn't exist.  So he invented a line of miniature cylinders, fittings and valves and pioneered miniature pneumatics as we know them today.

The first RF coil automated tester using miniature pneumatics.

Check valves can be opened with an air pilot signal to permit free flow in the normally "checked" direction.

Manifolds are offered for support to the Oxygen Clean Series Electronic Valves
