Abstract

See full text

A stand (10, 100) for holding a medical device (W1, W2, W3) includes a stand foot (9) and a carrier unit (1) connected to the stand foot rotatably about an axis (S), the medical device being mountable on the carrier unit. The stand also includes a counterweight (W4) to compensate for the torque about the axis produced by the medical device and the carrier unit, a first receiving unit (6, 102) at a first location for receiving at least a portion of the counterweight, and a second receiving unit (7, 104) at a second location for receiving at least another portion of the counterweight. Upon a change in torque about the axis, a proportion of the counterweight received by the first receiving unit is increasable by a compensation value, and that proportion of the counterweight which is received by the second receiving unit is reducible by that compensation value.
