Equipment Rails 

Originally introduced in the 1970s and installed in thousands of hospitals in North
America, the Fairfield rail system used to be the de facto standard of equipment management. Now, Lifespan Healthcare offers a new standard: new and improved accessory and headwall products that go well beyond the original Fairfield rail system. To help older facilities preserve their original investment, the new Lifespan rail system is designed to be seamlessly compatible with most of the old Fairfield installations. Our seasoned designers, engineers and product specialists–with decades of collective experience in equipment management–continue to create new solutions to equipment management challenges based on their understanding of caregiver tasks and user needs.

Equipment and components originally sold under the Fairfield brand is still in use in many facilities. These installations are generally compatible, and original components can, in most cases, be used with current Lifespan rail systems that are integrated in free-standing, wall-mounted and mobile products. Many of the retro-compatible existing Fairfield systems date as far back as the 1970’s — a tribute to our philosophy of combating obsolescence.The Lifespan Healthcare rail system offers unique benefits to healthcare providers in terms of expandability, flexibility, adaptability, productivity, ergonomics and aesthetics:
