STERIS Corp. has announced it is partnering with Toshiba America Medical Systems to offer vascular, cardiovascular, pediatric and neurosurgical hybrid surgical suites to healthcare systems, according to a STERIS news release (docx).
Both companies will contribute technology to the suites. Toshiba will provide tableside digital information and imaging technologies, and STERIS will provide surgical suites featuring LED surgical lighting and visualization systems, Harmony iQ integration systems and OR equipment management solutions.
"We recognize the great interest our clinical partners have in advancing care through surgical innovation and improved efficiencies and outcomes," said Robert Popilock, senior market development manager, STERIS Surgical Solutions, in the release. "Hybrid operating rooms offer tremendous opportunities to advance care, but designing and building these complex rooms is a huge task. Challenges such as how to eliminate collision points for equipment, optimize circulator pathways and provide ergonomic and intuitive tools at the surgical field, must be addressed. We are pleased to be able to help streamline the decision, design and integration processes for customers through collaboration with Toshiba America Medical Systems, a leader in the hybrid OR space."
