INTEGRATED THEATRES
Delivering world class operating theatres
Operating theatres are the beating heart of hospitals and are increasingly at the heart of the products and services provided by Bender UK.
The foundation of Bender’s business has long been the medical IT/isolated power supply systems and uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for Group 2 areas protecting patients and hospital staff from the risk of loss of power, electrical failure or shock. Bender UK set the standard for power safety for critical areas and has since helped to shape progressive improvements in industry standards. Now more than 500 hospitals in the UK and the Republic of Ireland have its technology installed. In the same way, the company is aiming to shape the performance of technology within operating theatres through a range of products that includes operating lights from Merivaara, hygienic touch screen theatre control panels (TCP) paired with x-ray viewers and PACS screens, a new range of Contempo services pendants, and hi-tech Merivaara operating tables. The range of complementary healthcare products and services come together within a turnkey operating theatre refurbishment and new- build service that aims to help shape the design of the theatre - and includes supply, commissioning, and in-service lifetime support.
