OR Networks win Manhagen Park Klinik, Hamburg

After several months of thoroughly evaluating the proposals from the main providers of integrated theatres, Manahagen Park Klinik have awarded the contract to OR Networks for 10 ORTV enabled operating theatres in association with ConMed Linvatec.

Colin Dobbyne: We are delighted with this contract award since it was in the face of fierce competition and after many meetings, site visits and customer discussions. I think the thorough evaluation process was essential given the number of users and support requirements of the hospital, it was important to the hospital to retain freedom of choice with respect to the endoscopic equipment deployed.

Key factors in the final decision were the open architecture* nature of the ORTV system, and the track record of OR Networks (having previously installed systems in Germany - Kiel, Pforzheim) and with installations across Europe (France, Italy, Belgium and Scandinavia).

*open system architecture means that ORTV does not restrict itself to any one brand of endoscopic device and is compatible with endoscopic cameras from any supplier. Closed systems restrict user choice to own-brand devices that have been designed as a whole and restrict future expansion and modification.
