OR Networks, in association with Maquet, provide the latest in operating theatre designs that offer universal integration of existing or new surgical equipment.

Touch panel controls of video displays, tables, lights and cameras provide an efficient and ergonomic surgical workplace. This new generation theatre is enabled for all future technologies, HD video, wireless and broadband communications, network enabled control and digital video distribution.

ORTV® offers centralised touch panel control of as

many devices that it is possible and desirable to

control.

The dynamic display can provide statistics,

readouts or interactive warnings.

Security is an issue that OR Networks takes

seriously, particularly with the proliferation of Internet

use and wi-fi LANS and the system’s ability to

display and record confi dential data, images and

video clips.

The Virtual Stack feature allows the user to control surgical equipment such

as operating lights, tables, in-light cameras,

endoscopic equipment or any device that shares an

open platform policy.

All on the same user touch panel interface.
