BRANDON MEDICAL has developed an audio-visual system that uses video and audio over internet protocol to allow surgical procedures to be supervised and viewed in high definition across an NHS Trust and from elsewhere in the world.
Brandon has already installed the system in UK, Irish and Danish hospitals, but operations director Adrian Hall sees it having worldwide applications in healthcare and other sectors. Nearer home, the company is in discussions with the Advanced Surgical Training Centre in the UK and senior clinicians across the country.
“Our digitally-based system delivers secure, high quality video and audio over the widest possible range of platforms and with substantial cost savings compared with existing analogue systems. In addition to filming surgery and applications such as angiography, it can also integrate with laparoscopy, ultrasound, surgical microscopes and digital imaging systems,” Adrian Hall commented.
