New operating theatre control panel to be launched at Arab Health

Electrical safety technology player Bender will launch its new operating theatre control panel at Arab Health 2020.

The Comtraxx CP9 aims to create a bridge between theatre staff and installed technology, providing clinical teams with a simple and intuitive method of controlling the entire theatre environment.

Designed for use in hospital and sterile areas, the CP9 range control panels is an upgrade from its hygienic touchscreen theatre control panels.

While incorporating the same functionality as existing theatre control panels, the glass touch CP9 system provides a more customisable, intuitive and user-friendly interface – a central point where medical staff can control theatre equipment functions and receive alerts within the operating, recovery or critical care area.

The system is designed to deliver high resolution images and central touch control for all connected systems within the operating theatre.

It can be re-programmed to accommodate any future theatre equipment changes and can be adapted to specifications. The panel can integrate external subsections such as charging stations for operating theatre table remote controls and intercom systems and requires minimal service interventions.

Lisa Hudson, marketing manager at Bender UK, said: “Our new glass touch control panels are easy to operate and provide simple integration of connected systems in a single interface panel that is also capable of connecting to the hospital’s wider network.

“Hospital teams are under intense pressures – operating in difficult environments against a background of shortages and budget cuts. It is vitally important that the technical systems they rely on are intuitive, reliable and simple to use. We look forward to demonstrating how our new generation of control panels can meet the tough demands of modern medical locations, at Arab Health 2020.”

Bender’s full turnkey surgical solutions will also be showcased on the Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI) simulated operating theatre where visitors will be able to see the control panels in action.
