Description

The hospital’s new C-Arm can assist with various surgeries and procedures, including for example podiatry procedures, hardware removal and interventional fluoroscopy. The C-Arm is a medical imaging device that is based on X-ray technology. The name is derived from the C-shaped arm used in OR and clinic settings.

The towers seen here are used for a variety of surgical procedures. They help maintain the consistency of hand-held surgical devices by reading tissue composition in real time.

Innovation that enhances patient care – this system is used for laparoscopic procedures, for example, on knees and shoulders by the orthopedic surgeon. It can also be used in various other general surgical procedures.

This tourniquet system includes a pressure-regulated control unit, hose assembly and an inflatable tourniquet cuff. The cuff inflates with air to a preset pressure to compress the patient’s blood vessels during surgical procedures, which ensures a bloodless operative field. This piece of equipment is often used in surgeries by the orthopedic and podiatry specialists.

This machine helps with suction and evacuation of surgical smoke from cauterizing tissue to stop any bleeding or to prevent a wound from becoming infected.

The steam sterilizer is used to clean and disinfect surgical instruments between procedures. The added cart helps staff to load and unload the instruments.

Our surgery department has a cordless drill and other drill with a cord – these are used in many orthopedic and other surgical procedures at NCH.

This particular piece of equipment is smaller and easier to use for the surgeon to have more maneuverability, precision and control. It is commonly used by the podiatrist.

The cordless driver is used for surgeries we do at NCH such as ACL repairs and Rotator cuff repairs, but can be used during any surgery requiring power tools such as total joints.
