03
Hall Effect Sensing
Optional Hall effect sensing supports precise, repeatable pedal input for applications that need more than simple on and off control. A dependable option for clinical workflows requiring smooth proportional response.
04
Built for Clinical Cleaning
Designed for medical environments where routine cleaning and fast turnover matter. Crescent supports repeated wipe down and protective cover use in demanding clinical settings.
05
Integrated Handles
Integrated handles make Crescent easier to lift, position, and move through the workspace. Built into the housing, they help support practical handling without relying on the cable.
FEATURES
01
Proven over years, not promised.
The Crescent has spent more than 15 years in clinical environments and continues to be specified by medical device manufacturers today. Available in both wired and wireless configurations, it offers the flexibility to support a wide range of applications. Its proven design has delivered reliable performance across hundreds of thousands of installations, earning a reputation for consistency, durability, and long term dependability.
02
Built for clinical cleaning.
Foot controls in clinical environments are cleaned every day. Crescent is designed to withstand routine wipe down and disinfection procedures, helping maintain reliable performance in demanding healthcare settings.
03
The right sensing technology.
Every application has different control requirements. Crescent is available with traditional microswitches or optional contactless Hall effect sensors, giving OEMs the flexibility to select the sensing technology that best fits their application. From simple switching functions to proportional control, Crescent can be configured to meet a wide range of performance needs, including optional redundant sensing configurations for applications requiring additional fault detection capability.

Wireless Receiver Options
When evaluating a wireless foot switch system most people focus on the pedal, but the receiver is what makes the system actually work. The receiver captures the signal from the transmitter and converts it into something the connected equipment can respond to, making it a critical part of the signal path rather than a background component.
Not every receiver setup is the same. Some are mounted externally and work well for retrofitting existing equipment, while others are built directly into the console architecture when wireless is planned from the start. The choice between receiver types affects how the system is installed, how it communicates, how it fits within an enclosure, and how power is supplied, particularly in retrofit applications where available power cannot always be assumed.
Understanding the differences between wireless receiver types before those decisions are made helps avoid integration problems later and ensures the system is built around what the application actually needs.
