In operating theatres, the focus is on the patients. In order for doctors and nursing staff to give their best for their treatment, the technology must always function optimally. This also includes, in particular, a safe, uninterruptible power supply and modern technical operating theatre equipment. This increasingly includes digital, automated and integrated solutions.
You can find out how this can look in detail in this article about the cooperation between Bender and Merivaara Oy. The German specialist for electrical safety and the Finnish medical technology manufacturer have joined forces and now offer hospitals another step towards digitalisation: with the latest digital operating theatre technology.
Communication is the first step
On the subject of safe and reliable power supply in operating theatres, there is not much to explain about Bender to industry experts: The systems from Grünberg have been well known, proven and widely used for decades. And they are part of Bender's new integrated digital operating theatre technology. The linchpin here is the remote alarm indicator and operator panels from the CP9xx series. The state-of-the-art touch displays are monitoring and control centres for operating theatres, ensure smooth communication and are true multi-talents. With them, all Bender components for monitoring the power supply can be easily and intuitively operated and visualised. In addition, systems from other manufacturers can also be integrated. These include, for example, operating theatre luminaires, room lighting, ventilation systems and cameras as well as data and image management systems.
Medical technology at its best
So many devices and systems - no question, a modern operating theatre is a complex high-tech facility and a considerable investment for hospitals. To ensure that everything functions perfectly in the operating theatre at the end of the day, Bender relies on operating theatre equipment from a single source and on partners with high-quality, future-oriented solutions. As a sales partner of the top Finnish manufacturer Merivaara, Bender supplies high-end operating theatre lights, smart operating tables and innovative clinical pendants. Merivaara not only offers state-of-the-art design, very good comfort and maximum safety, but can also be easily integrated into the digital operating theatre.
Smart networking: Connection for the operating theatre
The Merivaara OpenOR management system then comes into play for digital integration and smart networking: It automates the operating theatre and is individually tailored to the requirements of each clinic. Possible functions include data integration, preset setting of light, music, temperature and humidity in the operating theatre and live transmission of image and sound inside the operating theatre as well as outside - an opportunity for teaching hospitals to raise their teaching to a whole new technical level.
Making your operating theatre fit for the future
There are many reasons why Bender is the right partner for integrated digital operating theatre technology. You can find some of the most important here:
- More than 4 decades of experience with the hospital sector
- High-quality Bender products for safe power supply
- Top partner for medical devices and integrated operating theatre communication: Merivaara
- Everything from a single source: Planning, implementation, training, service
Live stream for students
One hospital that is already benefiting from the advantages of a smart and networked operating theatre is Epsom Hospital in south-west London. Bender UK has set up an operating theatre with OpenOR technology in the Elective Orthopedic Centre there. Among other things, the teaching hospital can now broadcast operations via live stream to an observation room for students. Those responsible are not only very satisfied with the state-of-the-art technology, but also with Bender's training service (read more about the project here).
Modernization or new construction?
Is your hospital also planning to modernize or build a new operating theatre?
