SPONSORED BY HEALTH SECTOR NEWS Integrated theatre AV solutions
Integrated theatre AV technology has been added to the extensive portfolio of hospital solutions offered by Bender UK. The complete Merivaara OpenOR system is exclusively supplied and installed by Bender UK in the UK and Ireland. Bender says the technology ‘enables complete integration of all medical devices and image sources within the theatre environment, and displays all images at near-zero latency (guaranteed at less than one frame) without resolution loss’.
Merivaara OpenOR also allows procedures to be viewed and streamed outside the operating theatre, enabling clinicians and students to consult and view live surgeries from other locations. Bender UK said: “This intuitive system has
a user-friendly touchscreen interface which allows control of image routing, medical device control, live streaming, and remote surgeon access to live and stored images, image capture, and video recording and editing.
“The medical grade touchscreen can be positioned in the sterile environment, or wall or desk- mounted. It also enables PiP and PaP on displays without those features.”
Vendor-neutral, the OpenOR does not limit the connection of image sources from specific manufacturers, including mobile devices brought into theatre. It connects to the hospital information system and PACS for patient worklists and data integration.
Gareth Brunton, managing director at
Bender UK, said: “The backbone of the technology is a fibre-based Barco Nexxis infrastructure which allows OpenOR to display uncompressed video, for perfect images without artefacts or resolution loss with near-zero latency. This is guaranteed to less than a frame. The resolution that OpenOR works with is also future-proofed to 8K and beyond, but is currently HD, 3D, 4K, and 4K3D compatible.”
New modular SSD for Stoke Mandeville Hospital
Modular construction company, ModuleCo Healthcare (MCH), has delivered a new modular sterile services department at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Aylesbury, which is part of Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust. The new facility will allow the hospital to maintain and improve its own sterile services function, while also providing a service for other Trusts in the surrounding area. MCH oversaw the entire project – from order to handover, including the planning process, demolition of existing buildings, and the associated foundation works. The project was a collaboration
Marc Sweeney, head of Sterile Services, and I saw 16 modules arrive on site in early April 2020, we couldn’t have imagined that just four months later we would have the newest and most modern sterile service department in the NHS.”
between MCH, its manufacturing partner, ModuleCo, and MMM Medical, which supplied the sterilisation equipment. John Abbott, director of Surgical and Critical Care at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, said: “This project has been quite a remarkable feat of engineering. When
Alan Wilson, managing director at MCH, said: “We’re really pleased with the progress we’ve made on the new sterile services facility. This project is a real milestone for us, as it successfully demonstrates MCH’s unique offering, where we can deliver all of these works for NHS Trusts from start to finish, anywhere in the UK.”
