A support arm for supporting a surgical device in an operating room. The support arm is comprised of an elongated, tubular extrusion having an inverted, generally tear-drop shaped outer surface that has an airfoil shape. The airfoil shape is symmetrical about an axis extending from a leading end of the airfoil to a trailing end of the airfoil shape. L'invention concerne un bras de support destiné à supporter un dispositif chirurgical dans un bloc opératoire. Le bras de support est constitué d'une extrusion tubulaire allongée ayant une surface externe généralement en forme de goutte inversée qui a une forme de profil aérodynamique. La forme de profil aérodynamique est symétrique autour d'un axe s'étendant d'une extrémité avant du profil aérodynamique à une extrémité arrière de la forme de profil aérodynamique.
