Netherlands-based Royal Philips Electronics and STERIS Corporation (Mentor, Ohio) are collaborating to provide hybrid operating rooms for open and minimally invasive cardiovascular surgical procedures.
The companies say the combination of Philips cardiovascular X-ray systems and STERIS HD 360 Suites technologies and design services will create a flexible environment where clinicians can treat patients requiring minimally invasive procedures, or those needing open surgery, within a single operating suite.
For new facilities and renovation projects, Philips says it will provide interventional X-ray equipment and specialized imaging tables and STERIS will supply specifically designed HD 360° Suites for hybrid surgical rooms featuring LED surgical lighting and visualization systems, integrated OR technology, and pendant (equipment management) systems.
