Tedisel Medical in operating theatres

November 29, 2022 tedisel

The main function in health care once a patient is admitted to an operating theatre is to give him all the care, containment and attention he needs during the course of the surgery and the first hours of recovery.

In this article, we talk about the main functions of an operating theatre, its elements and Tedisel Medical’s participation in them.

Introduction to operating theatres

Operating theatres are surgical intervention areas located in a hospital, specially equipped for the practice of medical operations to patients, both in emergency and programmed actions. For this reason, they must be operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

It is essential that the space that makes up the operating theatre is strictly enclosed, independent from the rest of the hospital area by a series of separators that allow for global and individualised patient care. A team of healthcare professionals will be in charge of preventing any type of spread or infection to other areas of the hospital.

Equipment of a modern operating theatre

The amount of equipment, tools and materials in operating theatres depends on the type of intervention planned. However, there are groups that should be present at all times.

These medical equipment are indispensable devices for all types of hospital environments, and crucial to safeguard the operation, and the life of the patient in hospitals. Among them are the following:

ECG machine
Stress systems
Electrosurgical units
Surgical lamps
Diagnostic ultrasound
Surgical tables and patient beds
Sterilisers
Defibrillators
Patient monitors
Temperature and humidity meters
Air heater
Table control

The success of operations: lighting

The most important thing in order to haver a complete operating theatre is to be fully integrated with the best equipment. However, there are a number of requirements and conditions that must be met in order to achieve excellent productivity and safety for both patient and practitioners.

The success of surgical interventions depends on the environment in which the professionals work. In this sense, the lighting system is a fundamental factor in improving conditions in such critical work.

This lighting system is made up of various types of lamps, where we can highlight mainly the ceiling installation lamps and even floor lamps.

Thanks to them, it is guaranteed that proper visibility is maintained throughout the operating theatre, without generating any type of glare, and avoiding eye fatigue for optimum medical performance.

From Tedisel Medical we offer a set of systems that improve the integration of equipment, among them we highlight:

Suspended column systems also optimise space in operating theatres, guaranteeing a rapid response for medical staff and patients, providing ergonomic and safe interventions. In addition, the possibility of integrating a motorised system ensures better vertical movement, which together with its two rails can be used to adapt different types of accessories, such as trays, lamps, medical baskets and more. In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are different arms to provide the maximum mobility required in the operating room, bringing the material and accessories closer to the medical staff and the patient.

Finally, we also have our control and display panels in Glass and Corian. These models allow the integration of different touch or display screens, electrical components, clocks and many other elements, which allow all the controls, elements and displays necessary for an operating theatre to be focused. In addition, the front doors can be adapted and adjusted to different elements, features and accessories.

“All these systems allow the reduction of the use of electrical cables in the operating room, optimise space and improve the movement of equipment to meet the needs of the patient. “

This encompasses the main objectives of a fully equipped and secured operating room for optimal performance and safety capable of performing surgical operations.

The importance of technology in healthcare

November 14, 2022 tedisel

The revolution we are experiencing in healthcare, especially in the wake of the pandemic, is the result of improvements in technology and digitization, whether for the design of hospitals, operating theatres, new intervention techniques, patient care…

The commitment to innovation and technology for our well-being

The technology & innovation binomial is behind the paradigm shift in our health and well-being.

Thanks to their mutual understanding, and with hospital engineering, Big Data, IoMT and 5G as a backdrop, we obtain millions of health care data every day, allowing us to reformulate health policies and make informed decisions. And by equipping healthcare workers with better tools, medical and care errors are being reduced like never before.

The use of innovative portable medical devices such as calorie or exercise trackers, oximeters, etc., together with the growth of telemedicine applications and platforms, virtual reality in health, robotic surgery or even artificial organs, represent a before and after in medicine.

The Covid-19 pandemic as a driver of innovation in the health sector

One of the main consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic has been the drive for innovation in healthcare, promoting new and better technologies to tackle any healthcare challenge of this magnitude.

Whether out of obligation, necessity or a desire for cutting-edge innovation in healthcare, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for innovative technologies that improve health outcomes, providing rapid solutions even in environments where infrastructure and resources are scarce.

The telemedicine push

New methods and systems for health management and monitoring were catapulted during the collapse of healthcare facilities in the pandemic.

The enormous problems of face-to-face healthcare generated the need to promote telemedicine, an option that has opened up a new landscape of medical care and telematic monitoring. This is the use of ICT (information technology) in remote healthcare, whether to diagnose, monitor or treat the patient.

Videoconferencing, the use of smartphone apps to monitor our health, remote procedures and other telemedicine tools represent significant financial and logistical savings for healthcare systems, facilitating personalised care at any time of day from a single platform. In addition, it reinforces security and the need for real and up-to-date information for patients with complicated health situations.

“Video consultations, digital telemedicine kits and the use of artificial intelligence for diagnosis are a health trend that is here to stay.”

Robotic procedures: greater precision, efficiency and speed

Another of the fastest growing healthcare technology sectors is robotics. Robots have transformed surgery, simplifying times and deliveries or facilitating disinfection, as well as almost completely eliminating human error and allowing real, live interaction.

Some of the portable medical robots are:

Surgical assisting robots: Help surgeons complete complex micro-procedures without making large incisions.
Cleaning robots: Disinfect hospitals and their areas.
Diagnostic robots: Store hundreds of thousands of images to help diagnose disease.

“Thanks to artificial intelligence and 5G, robotic technology has entered the healthcare sector to take a fundamental and necessary step forward in hospitals around the world.”

Robotic intelligence and software advances

Advances in software are one of the mainstays of the increased use of intelligent robotics in hospitals. Proof of this are the Q Panel or Diamond technical panels, which allow centralised control of the operating theatre, or the Hermes software itself, the digital brain to centralise all controls and obtain data and analysis of the operating theatre or critical area.

Technical panels in operating theatres

October 19, 2022 tedisel

Technical panels are one of the essential devices in every operating theatre and critical area. And in recent years, advances in design and functionality have led to significant innovation in their use and finishes.

What are technical panels and what are they used for?

Technical panels are a fundamental part of every hospital’s medical equipment. Their ergonomic and customised design allows centralised control of the operating theatre status, as well as supplying electricity.

These equipment, adaptable to the needs of the operating room, have different sizes and a variety of control and communication accessories.

Although Corian is the ideal material due to its high resistance to chemical products, easy cleaning and disinfection, they can be manufactured in different materials, always offering safety and reliability.

In addition to its functionality, the high quality and customisable finishes give the wall recessed installation an optimal final result.

Why are they so innovative?

Their modernisation and customisation makes it possible to complete an optimal workplace design, adapting them to the structural conditions, use and individual work processes.

They are compatible with technical equipment and save costs and time through their installation, durability, reliability and user-friendliness. And thanks to their easy-to-clean surface, infections are prevented. At the same time, the healing of patients is stimulated by promoting a pleasant and comfortable environment for both patients and staff.

And ultimately, in addition to its excellent functionality, the hospital projects a modern and personalised image.

What models do we have at Tedisel?

At Tedisel Medical we specialise in the manufacture of medical equipment for hospitalisation, critical areas and operating theatres.

Among our devices and medical equipment, the Q Panel and Diamond panels stand out.

Q Panel is the classic model, famous for its Corian surface and its flexibility in terms of size and integration of components. This model can incorporate a touch screen for Hermes, the digital brain that allows centralising all controls and obtaining data and analysis of the operating room or critical area.

Diamond is a glass control and display panel that stands out for its simplicity and technology. Diamond centralises all the visual elements needed in an operating theatre or critical area and is also compatible with Hermes software.

One of the main features shared by our range of panels is that they are registrable, i.e. it is not necessary to close the whole operating theatre to perform any maintenance task on the panel.

In addition, both Q Panel and Diamond allow customisation of panel sizes and finishes according to the hospital’s needs.

Features, benefits and accessories of our OR Panels

Q Panel

Why are they important in operating theatres and critical areas?

The combination of functionality and individual design marks the importance of technical panels in operating theatres and critical areas.

We all know that planning a new hospital or renovating old units requires a perfectly organised planning process. Especially in critical areas and patient rooms.

More and more consideration is being given to the harmonious design of rooms where devices, materials and colours work in unison to create a stimulating environment for healing and, incidentally, to reduce the length of stay of patients.

That makes all the difference, as does flexibility and functionality. Thanks to these, we can quickly adapt to changing situations or new contexts, as seen with the Covid.19 pandemic.

This is why good, individualised design and maximum functionality & flexibility are essential for the hospital of today and the future, and one of the parts of the medical equipment that ensures this is the technical panels.
