Getinge Group & GE Launch New Angiography Integrated Solution for Hybrid OR Procedures in United States

WAYNE, N.J., Getinge Group today announced the launch of a new, highly flexible angiography solution for surgery, interventional and Hybrid operating room (OR) procedures in the United States. Jointly developed with GE Healthcare, a leader in providing transformational medical technologies, this integrated solution pairs the MAGNUS OR table system from Getinge Group's Maquet brand with GE's Discovery IGS™ 730 angiography system. The combination of these two state-of-the art systems enables hospitals to expand the range of surgical procedures and interventions they offer patients as well as optimize the use of their Hybrid OR.

Getinge Group and GE Healthcare showcased the new angiography integrated solution during the Society for Vascular Surgery's (SVS) 2016 Vascular Annual Meeting, which was held June 9-11 in Washington, D.C.

"Hybrid ORs have become the standard of care at medical centers throughout the United States as these multidisciplinary and multipurpose rooms have been shown to lead to improved clinical outcomes for cardiothoracic and other patients," said Mark Rider, Vice President of Marketing for the Americas, Surgical Workflows Division of Getinge Group. "With the U.S. launch of this new integrated solution that combines our MAGNUS OR table system, the centerpiece of a Hybrid OR, with GE's angiography system, hospitals across the country will be able to provide the best care for their patients who require a variety of multidisciplinary surgical interventions."

The Maquet MAGNUS OR table system can be used for advanced imaging applications as well as surgical procedures. It is versatile and has a "floating" function that enables quick and precise movements during catheter-based interventions. It can utilize interchangeable table tops for multiple clinical applications, ranging from the most advanced 360-degree 3D diagnostic imaging to specialized surgical procedures. The Discovery IGS 730 has a laser-guided mobile gantry that allows it to be conveniently positioned throughout the OR with high predictability to provide the medical team with full patient access. It also enables high-quality 2D imagery as well as cone-beam CT HD and multimodality 3D Fusion imaging.
