The Pelican Fable

There is a fable that the pelican is the nursing or caring bird. The story is that the red mark at the end of the mother pelican's beak is a blood stain, left after the mother bird had plucked her chest to feed the young on her blood when food was scarce.

The pelican is the symbol of some primary schools and children's hospitals, and the road crossing where you push a button and wait for the little green man is called a "Pelican Crossing".

Possibly in reality the red mark may be due to a hormone change in the mother pelican, however the sentiment of caring is appropriate for our company and our concern to help patients and staff. We design and manufacture our products and we always consider patient's care & dignity as well as patient & staff safety and occupational health.
