Partnership Provides Third Generation Integrated Operating Theatres
May 2007

In a strategic alliance with Howorth Medical, Maquet and Fulbourn Medical, OR Networks, developers of ORTV®, has launched the OR3G® Operating Theatre.

In order to provide the sterile field needed, OR3G® Operating Theatres feature the Howorth Medical Exflow 90-5 Ultra Clean Canopy, one of the world's most advanced Ultra Clean ventilation systems.

Its inclusion means that the OR3G® Operating Theatre is suitable for major orthopaedic surgery. The Exflow is available in two sizes - 2.8m square and 3.2m square, ensuring the ORTV® technology and entire team can operate within the clean zone.

OR3G® Operating Theatres are the only integrated theatres that offer the end-user an open protocol platform, thus giving complete freedom of choice over the surgical devices employed and integrated. The system allows any number of flat panel monitors to be placed in the sterile field to display any image the surgeon wishes, whether from endoscopy, x-ray, PACs, EPR, pathology or patient monitoring.

Selection of the images displayed is made via the ORTV® touch panel that may be mounted in the sterile field, or on a wall or desk. The touch panel also offers control of digital recording devices or video printers and live links to remote locations such as seminar rooms, lecture theatres or other hospitals for live operative tuition with full audio communications.

Leonard Morris, Chairman of Howorth Medical, says: "The opportunities offered by partnerships are always exciting for all involved, and this alliance with ORTV® ensures Howorth remains at the forefront of operating theatre development, designing theatres which provide the most advanced facilities for healthcare practitioners, and therefore the best treatment for patients."
