The AirFRAME is proven technology that provides more effective contamination control, delivering superior clinical outcomes for patients.
The AirFRAME is installed in Grace Hospital, Royston Hospital, Royston Day Surgery and Wakefield Hospital.
A first for a private hospital in New Zealand, our investment in the latest ophthalmic specialised technology at Bowen Hospital allows our specialist and theatre team to have an unimpeded view of their procedures in 3D.
The Alcon NGenuity® 3D Visualisation System is installed at Bowen Hospital.
Bowen Hospital is leading the way in eye care innovation as the first hospital in New Zealand to trial the Alcon Unity VCS – a cutting-edge eye surgery platform combining the latest in cataract and vitreoretinal technology.
This makes New Zealand patients among the first in the world to benefit from this breakthrough system, which is already being trialled in leading medical facilities across Europe, Japan, and Australia.
The Alcon Unity VCS is designed to make eye procedures faster, safer, and more comfortable. By integrating two vital surgical systems into one, it provides superior control and efficiency during both cataract and retinal surgeries.
The Alcon Unity VCS is installed at Bowen Hospital.
Designed for the most delicate surgeries, the Leica ARveo digital augmented reality microscope supports Wakefield Hospital’s leading Neurosurgeons, ENT specialists, plastic surgery, and New Zealand’s only Gender Affirming Specialist Dr Rita Yang.
Evolution Healthcare is the first private healthcare provider to invest in the Leica ARveo in New Zealand.
Indigo-Clean is a ground-breaking lighting solution that continuously disinfects the air and surfaces in an operating room and is safe for staff and patients. Indigo-Clean is proven to reduce SSI’s by 73% and can kill SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for Covid-19. Evolution Healthcare is the only healthcare surgical provider to be using Indigo-Clean in New Zealand.
Indigo-Clean is installed in Grace Hospital, Royston Hospital, Royston Day Surgery, and will be installed Wakefield Hospital new operating theatres at the completion of Stage 2 redevelopment.
SCOUT uses non-radioactive, radar technology to provide real-time surgical guidance during breast surgery. Rather than placing a wire immediately before surgery, a SCOUT reflector is placed in the target tissue prior to the day of surgery at the patient’s convenience. During surgery, the SCOUT guide uses real-time distance measurement guidance to accurately detect the location of the SCOUT reflector—and the tumor to within 1mm of accuracy.
The ability to precisely locate tumors may increase the probability of complete cancer removal and reduce the likelihood of needing follow-up surgeries—a huge advantage for early-stage breast cancer patients. In addition, the ability to strategically plan the incision may result in better cosmetic outcomes. SCOUT is also used to effectively localize lymph nodes prior to neoadjuvant therapy and can be used with any type of imaging over the course of a patient’s care.
Prior to the development of this technology, surgeons generally relied on wire localization to locate a tumor during breast-conserving surgery.
With wire localisation, a radiologist guided a thin, hooked wire through the skin to the lesion. The surgeon then used the wire to help guide the removal. The wire had to be placed the same day as the lumpectomy procedure, which required a high degree of coordination between radiology and surgical schedules. Not only did this lead to costly delays in the operating room, it often forced women to wait long periods of time with the wire in place in their breast.
FEATURES
– Gives surgeons greater confidence in removing all cancerous tissue.
– Decouples the radiology and surgical schedules, which can improve workflow and may result in more patients receiving care faster.
– Reduces patient anxiety associated with placement of the wire on the day of surgery.
– Enables lumpectomies to be scheduled early in the morning, which can reduce long wait times for patients who are unable to eat or drink prior to surgery.
– Eliminates the need for wires protruding from the patient’s breast, which may lead to better patients experience.
The SAVI SCOUT is installed at Bowen Hospital.
