Abstract
A low-bulk gas delivering apparatus for use in a catheter laboratory is provided. The apparatus includes a universally articulatable support arm, one end of which is adapted to mount onto a ceiling and the other end of which is mounted to a gas module. The gas module is adapted to deliver gas received from a hose which connects the gas module to a source of gas. The hose generally extends along the support arm and is disposed outside of the support arm. Therefore, the support arm is lighter, slimmer, and less bulky than previously used support arms.
