Cardiff based-company and MediWales member Huntleigh Healthcare has been awarded a Queen’s Award for Innovation in recognition for its new range of Digital Handheld Dopplers.
Peter Cashin, managing director, said of the new product: “Features we have introduced such as the high resolution colour display represent a first for handheld Dopplers. This allows clinicians to clearly see vascular waveforms as well as hear digital audio sounds. In the Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) version the FHR data is displayed in high visibility large numbers and recorded digitally as a waveform for archiving and review.”
The Cardiff facility provides a Global Centre of Excellence for a range of Arjo (the group’s parent company) and Huntleigh products. Employing more than 60 engineering staff the centre provides a stable platform for further innovations in the future.
Joacim Lindhoff, President & CEO of Arjo said: “We are both honoured and proud of this recognition. This marks a significant achievement for our team in Cardiff and confirms that we are developing innovative products that offer our customers an excellent experience, through both performance, functional benefits and a desirable design.”
