Meet the New MC7 Pro! The new Chrome® bezel and the brightest Surgical Headlight available on the market at 275,000 Lux, 10% brighter than the original MC7 with 11% bigger spot size of 100mm. 

Why MedLED Chrome? The MedLED Chrome® is customisable to suit the requirements of any Surgeon and any procedure, with 3 bezels of differing brightness combined with the 4 MedLED Pillars;

1. It is truly cordless, eliminating the need for tethered battery packs, removing the risk of tangling cords and connections failing during procedures. 
2. Comfort balance is ensured through a patented headband system to hold the system together in superb balance, to the extent that you forget it's there.
3. Modularity is delivered through the choice of soft-top or hard-top, and MC3, MC6 or MC7 Pro bezels.
4. Brightness is a key player in the Headlight Market, and at 275,000 Lux, the Chrome® features as the brightest surgical LED headlight available on the market.

The Door Top Alarm helps prevent attempted self harm at the tops of doors by detecting when weight is applied to the top of the door.  This tamper proof system has a variable alarmed delay setting between 5 and 30 seconds.  The Door Top Alarm connects via the main power, and is compatible with most staff attack systems and can alert staff via audible alarm, visible light, staff indicator panel and via the pager or main computer.

The Door Top Alarm works with the Electrically Modified Anti-Ligature Hinge which ensures all cabling and electronics are concealed.  If the top of the alarm is pressed nothing will happen until the programmed delay setting in the electronic box is activated.  It has a 3 tiered led system on the door top alarm which is mirrored on an electronic box, and optionally on nurse stations.  LED lighting shows it working without setting the alarm off, helping with risk assessment period checks.

After a decade of planning and development, South East Regional Hospital (SERH) in Bega is now open for business, featuring the latest in bariatric surgical table technology from Hipac. The SERH is an integrated health precinct, one of the first of its kind for NSW Health, with a range of partners providing medical and health services including the Bega Ambulance Station and BreastScreen Australia from the one location.

The hospital site is located at 4 Virginia Drive, Bega and nestles on 17.5 hectares of land just outside Bega's CBD. The floor area of the hospital is equal to the size of four-and-a-half football fields and the head contractor estimates that 486,920 man hours were spent on the project. The new hospital will enable delivery of health care in new and innovative ways, with a suite of enhanced services that will provide the community with a level of care not seen before in the region. With its removable head, leg and back section, extreme table top slide and superior patient weight capacities, three 3602X Ultraslide Operating Tables are in use at the facility to provide an all-in-one surgical solution for all case requirements.

Please contact us on 1800 759 393 for more information about what Hipac can offer on your next operating theatre project.

Hipac was pleased to support the 6th Annual Operating Theatre Management Conference held on the 28-29 August 2014 at The Menzies, Sydney.

With topics such as Implementing the National Standards in the Operating Theatre Suite A guide to accreditation right through to The Challenges of Introducing Graduate Enrolled Nurses to the Operating Suite, delegates participated in a range of insightful and engaging lectures and workshops over the two days.

The Hipac team was on hand to talk about some of the latest innovations in the operating theatre space including some of the unique patient positioning features that the Ultraslide Bariatric Operating Theatre Table can offer and some of the important life cycle considerations that should be taken into account during the design and planning phase of new operating theatre projects.
