description A suspension system (10) is disclosed for suspending lightheads (26), monito rs (28, 30), cameras, or other medical apparatus from an overhead structure (12 ) at a selectable height. A drop tube (20) has a selected portion thereof surroundingly encompassed by a receiving element (42) that has a variable inside diameter substantially conforming to a frustum of a cone. A mounting plate (14) rigidly connects with the overhead structure (12) and with the receiving element (42). The mounting plate (14) has an opening through which an end of the drop tube (20) passes. A wedge-shaped element (48) has a variable outer diameter substantially conforming to a frustum of a cone. The wedge-shaped element (48) compressively inserts into the receiving element (42) and surroundingly encompasses the selected portion of the drop tube (20 ) to effectuate a compressive clamping of the selected portion of the drop tub e (20) inside the receiving element (42).
