Precise control, easy integration, regulatory-ready
Modern urology devices demand more than advanced mechanics and electronics.
They require intuitive, reliable and ergonomic control systems that support long procedures and meet strict regulatory requirements.
One of the most critical elements is the medical footswitch.
A properly designed foot control system directly impacts:
-
Surgical workflow efficiency
-
Surgeon fatigue
-
Patient safety
-
Usability validation as part of MDR / FDA processes
Why Footswitch Design Matters in Urology Devices
In advanced urology systems such as morcellators, aspiration units and cutting devices, foot control must deliver:
-
Accurate and responsive operation
-
Low actuation force
-
Long-term comfort during extended procedures
-
Full compatibility with surgical environments
Using non-medical or generic footswitches can introduce usability risks and regulatory challenges later in the development cycle.
Clinical Reference: Integrated Foot Control in a Urology Morcellator
A recent example from the field is an advanced prostate morcellator with integrated aspiration, incorporating a HERGA medical footswitch system as part of the device architecture.
The system includes:
-
HERGA 6226 low-profile medical footswitch
-
HERGA 6241 medical puck switch with light actuation across the full surface
-
Ergonomic design for extended surgical use
-
Robust construction for operating room environments
The device is currently undergoing MDR processes, demonstrating a proven and realistic foot control implementation.
HERGA – A Medical Footswitch Platform, Not Just a Component
HERGA offers more than a single product.
Its medical footswitch design platform supports:
-
OEM customization
-
Multi-function control layouts
-
Adjustable actuation characteristics
-
Mechanical and electrical integration flexibility
-
Compliance with medical device standards
This approach is ideal for companies developing clinical devices, preparing for regulatory approval or scaling to serial production.
