The digital operating theatre

The firm continues to develop such technology for surgical, interventional, integration, and infection control, and has a growing product portfolio for the digital operating theatre (OT) and medical imaging environments, including: 
- A powerful, centralised control module that instantly routes images from numerous surgical and diagnostic imaging devices, e.g. endoscopes, ultrasound, CT, MRI, fluoroscopy, patient monitoring data, within or across operative suites.
- Telesurgery and Image Streaming ConnectOR, a device that allows image routing via fibre optics, capture and real-time streaming of surgical and diagnostic imaging procedures onto IT networks.
- HD-ready multi-modality visualisation systems that support multiple imaging capabilities with the Radiance series. ‘This product line meets today’s rapidly evolving clinical needs for simultaneous viewing of real-time video, fluoroscopic, ultrasound, PACS or vital sign imaging,’ the firm points out.
- Cutting Edge image acquisition technology with CMOS based ND-Cam OR overhead camera system, capturing wide angle or highly detailed video of surgical procedures.
- Digital imaging control technologies enabling OR staff to control and manage all equipment, multiple imaging modalities and deliver the appropriate image in real-time to the requesting surgeon or physician.
- Sterile-Touch screens provide effective, barrier protection against microbial transmission derived from medical imaging equipment at the point-of-care. They are designed specifically for visualisation devices that require constant contact with clinicians.
Disinfectants – NDS also produces OR-Cleanse and Steri-Wipe hospital-grade, hard surface disinfectant products for surgical and imaging environments. ‘With the world’s fastest surface disinfectant times, they help reduce Surgical Site Infections (SSI),’ the company reports.
