Transcription

1 THE NEW SPECIAL-PURPOSE OPERATING TABLE FOR PRECISION SURGERY IN ORTHOPEDICS, TRAUMATOLOGY AND NEUROSURGERY: THE YUNO OTN Rastatt, July Maquet, the medical engineering and workflow specialist, presents its latest mobile operating table: The Yuno OTN. It was specifically developed to enable all surgical procedures to the upper and lower parts of the skeleton to be carried out on just a single operating table and with the very highest degree of precision. Also for neurosurgeons, this new specialpurpose table truly is the OR table of choice. With the Yuno OTN, quality and cost-conscious clinics have an efficient solution that optimizes ergonomic conditions and workflows in orthopedics, traumatology and neurosurgery. Operating theaters can now be put to even more efficient use thanks to the flexible Yuno OTN. State-of-the-art technology for specialists supports ergonomics and workflows The state-of-the-art Yuno OTN table was developed in collaboration with surgeons from the specialist fields of r.schmitt@maquet.de r.schlagermann@maquet.de Page 1 of 6

2 orthopedics, traumatology and neurosurgery. It can be precisely adjusted for the type of surgery being carried out. The table meets all requirements of a comfortable surgical workplace: With an adjustable height range of 600 mm, the table allows the surgeon to work ergonomically during operations in a seated or standing position. With its narrow and yet very stable column, the table ensures the excellent accessibility of the surgical field. The Yuno OTN is also very user- and patient-friendly when it comes to imaging procedures: The use of metal-free carbon-fiber structures ensures excellent radiotranslucence, making intraoperative repositioning unnecessary in most cases. Improved treatment options The stability and modular design of the Yuno OTN enables the exact positioning of the patient so that surgeons are able to do their job as safely and effectively as possible. For the patient this means successful treatment and a quick recovery. Best possible flexibility for three medical disciplines r.schmitt@maquet.de r.schlagermann@maquet.de Page 2 of 6

3 The Yuno OTN has tailored accessories and can be configured quickly and individually for the surgical discipline in question. As a result, it enables the best possible utilization of the OR and surgical team. This quickly becomes evident in the simple handling of the mobile OR table: Thanks to its light-weight carbon-fiber material, it can be easily converted between surgeries by a single member of the team. A further benefit is the minimal need for training: With the Yuno OTN, a single OR table can be used for several different disciplines, which facilitates staff training. Since the table is intuitive and safe to use, it contributes to stress-free working conditions without compromising on performance and helps to ensure the safety of the patient. Cost-effective and forward-looking Equipment that is investment-safe and forward-looking is a particularly relevant economic factor, particularly for the field of surgery. With the Yuno OTN, Maquet has developed a one-of-a-kind operating table that helps surgical teams to make the best possible use of resources, implement optimum work processes and ensure successful treatment.
