Karma Medical needed a motorized gynecological examination bed with three-section hydraulic actuation, 500–850 mm height adjustment, and remote-controlled positioning for real clinical use.
This case study covers iMAC Design and Engineering Services’ complete mechanical design and engineering work on a motorized gynecological examination bed for Karma Medical.
The product required a three-section adjustable platform with controlled headrest, backrest, and legrest positioning. Key functions included hydraulic actuation, remote-controlled movement, gas spring-assisted headrest adjustment, and height adjustment from 500 mm to 850 mm.
iMAC handled the full mechanical engineering scope, including structural frame design, actuator placement, bracket engineering, gas spring mechanism integration, fluid collection provision, and DFM review for clinical durability.

Designing a three-section motorized examination bed for clinical use created a layered set of mechanical, structural, and ergonomic engineering challenges that had to be solved together.
iMAC’s approach to the Karma bed was rooted in structured mechanical engineering and DFM-aware design decisions that addressed both performance requirements and long-term clinical reliability.
The engineering process produced a set of targeted design decisions that shaped a durable, clinically functional platform ready for OEM production.
The Karma motorized gynecological examination bed moved forward as an OEM-ready product with all primary mechanical objectives met. The platform delivers reliable clinical performance across its full operating range — stable at both low and high positions, smooth through all articulation sequences, and practical for real hospital use.
