One room, multiple uses
Hybrid operating rooms transcend medical boundaries by combining a state-of-the-art OR with one or multiple powerful imaging systems. They can be used for a multitude of interdisciplinary interventions as well as conventional procedures, making them highly cost-efficient and versatile. At the same time, they streamline workflows by reducing the need to transport the patient between multiple departments and teams.
Improving care across surgical disciplines
Once limited to cardiovascular procedures in the Cath Lab, image-guided surgery has expanded to include nearly all surgical disciplines.
In the modern Hybrid OR, this segregation is a thing of the past. Cardiovascular, neurosurgery, oncology, orthopedic surgeries, urology and traumatology procedures can benefit from real-time diagnostic imaging. By integrating X-rays, ultrasound, MR and CT into the OR, all procedures can be performed in the same surgical suite — minimally invasive and conventional alike. Getinge surgical tables can be configured to meet the needs of any surgical discipline, with radiolucent tabletops that minimize or eliminate imaging artifacts for clear visualization.

Going Hybrid
Most hospitals already own the basic prerequisite for a Hybrid OR: a mobile C-arm or mobile CT. Adding an operating table system with radiolucent accessories immediately opens up additional, state-of-the-art therapy options. For even more advanced, high-end solutions, our consultants can develop a Hybrid suite tailored to your needs.
