Magnetic Connector MagConnect®: Enhancing Hospital Bed Safety

Onanon’s Role in Hospital Bed Connector Design

Patients in hospital beds are often in vulnerable states, whether due to illness, surgery, or mobility challenges, increasing the risk of falls or accidents. Furthermore, these beds are often surrounded by expensive and sensitive medical devices that are critical to patient care.

Onanon’s MagConnect® offers a proactive solution to these challenges. By replacing traditional Locking connections with magnetic medical connectors, MagConnect® ensures that cords and connectors securely attach, reducing the likelihood of accidents. In high-stakes environments, the ability for a connector to safely detach prevents tripping hazards and minimizes damage to both equipment and infrastructure.

This innovative feature not only protects patients and staff but also safeguards high-value equipment, contributing to a safer and more reliable hospital environment. In a setting where even a minor mishap can have significant consequences, MagConnect® and its advanced medical connector technology deliver peace of mind for healthcare professionals.

MagConnect®: The Solution

Onanon’s patented MagConnect® safety latching magnetic connector is a game-changer in the medical field. These advanced medical connectors self-align and mate seamlessly, ensuring accurate positioning every time. This feature simplifies the connection process, saving time for healthcare professionals and allowing anyone to securely connect equipment with ease.

MagConnect® offers diverse customization options, accommodating a broad range of medical devices. Available in disposable and reusable formats, it suits various applications and use cases. Its compact design allows for effortless connectivity even in tight spaces.

When the connectors are brought close to each other, the magnetic technology activates the self-mating process, eliminating the need for manual adjustments. This seamless functionality translates to enhanced efficiency and reduced errors in critical healthcare settings, highlighting the transformative potential of medical connectors in modern care environments.

Case Study: Improving Hospital Beds with Medical Connectors

A leading Medical Device OEM incorporated Onanon’s MagConnect® solution for their hospital beds. The implementation of  MagConnect® technology led to outstanding results. Hospitals noted improved safety for patients and staff, reduced equipment damage, and increased satisfaction among healthcare professionals, including nurses and doctors.

Traditional hospital beds often rely on rigid locking connections attached to outlets. Moving a bed without disconnecting stretches and damages the cable or outlet. It can also end up damaging the entire hospital bed itself. MagConnect® eliminates this risk with its self-detaching design, ensuring safety during transport while preserving equipment integrity. By leveraging innovative medical connector design, Onanon has effectively addressed common pain points in hospital bed functionality.

This is just one use case of MagConnect®, and there are countless more waiting to be made. Onanon’s hope is for OEM’s to feel inspired by these case studies utilizing magnetic connectors. Onanon’s team is here to design and develop solutions that fit everyone’s needs.
