Mobile Digital Operating Room: The 19" U-rack trolley for minimally invasive surgery

The setup of modern operating rooms increasingly uses digital technologies such as video routing, networking, and digital video storage. Many of the components required for this are suitable for mounting in a 19" rack. To use these digital technologies in an operating room, the systems are usually integrated into the OR complex. However, if a fixed installation is not possible or desired, the technology can also be deployed as a mobile setup. The 19" U-rack trolley forms the basis for this.

This trolley is not only a solution for healthcare institutions but also a perfect tool for suppliers of equipment for digital operating rooms. They can use it to efficiently and professionally demonstrate their equipment.

Efficiency and overview for advanced surgeries 

In minimally invasive surgery (MIS), precision and a streamlined workflow are essential. The 19" U-rack trolley from Medical Trolleys offers the perfect solution for this. This trolley is specifically designed to integrate all necessary equipment for imaging, data processing, and communication compactly and clearly into one mobile unit. This makes it the central nervous system for all your MIS equipment, keeping the operating room tidy and enabling the surgical team to work more efficiently. 

The perfect solution for image management and knowledge sharing 

The 19" U-rack trolley is ideally suited for various applications:

Image Management and Routing: The trolley centralizes the processing and routing of video images from the endoscope. This makes it possible to share images in real-time with other screens in the OR or beyond.

Education and Training: Thanks to the integration of recording and video management systems, surgeries can be easily documented. This provides valuable learning moments for students and surgeons in training, who can study the footage live or later.

Remote Collaboration: In an increasingly connected medical world, remote consultation is crucial. The trolley makes it possible to share live video streams with experts outside the operating room, so they can provide real-time advice during complex procedures. 

Robust construction, smart details 

Our 19" U-rack trolley is not only functional but also built for the demanding hospital environment. The robust construction and focus on hygiene, with smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces, make the trolley the ideal partner in the operating room. In addition, the lockable wheels ensure stability, and the ergonomic handles allow for effortless movement.

The 19" U-rack trolley is the key to an efficient and organized approach to minimally invasive surgery, where technology is seamlessly integrated into medical practice.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the primary application of this trolley?
The 19" U-rack trolley is designed as a mobile platform for digital techniques in modern operating rooms. It centralizes and integrates equipment for image routing, networking, data processing, and digital storage of video images into a single mobile unit. This makes it ideal for minimally invasive surgery (MIS), education and training, and remote collaboration.

Can the trolley be customized to our specific needs?
Yes, the trolley is based on a modular concept. The base cart can be customized to the client's specifications and can be extended with a wide variety of accessories, such as monitor arms, camera holders, and gas cylinder holders, to create an optimal configuration for any application.

What are the guidelines for safely moving the trolley?
Before moving, all devices must be switched off and the plug must be removed from the socket. Cables and cords must be stored securely, for example on a cable hook. If present, the monitor arm must be fully folded and locked to ensure stability and prevent damage or injury.

How should the monitor arm be used safely?
When unfolding the arm, you must use both hands to rotate the elements, and never pull on the monitor, as this could cause the trolley to tip over. Make sure not to pinch your fingers between the elements. The monitor arm and monitor are not sterile and should never be placed in a sterile zone. The monitor arm should not be used to move the trolley.

Is the trolley electrically safe and what are the options?
The trolley is developed to comply with the NEN/EN/IEC 60601-1 standard for medical electrical equipment. It can be equipped with a medical isolation transformer of 1600VA, which is optional. The electrical system is exclusively intended for the equipment on the trolley. Never connect equipment to the trolley that is located outside the trolley.

How do I clean the trolley correctly?
The trolley should only be cleaned with a lightly damp cloth and a mild, non-aggressive cleaning agent. Avoid aggressive solvents such as alcohol, thinner, or salt solutions, as these can damage the materials. Liquid cleaning agents should be used sparingly to prevent fluid from entering the electrical installation.

More questions?
Contact us, there are many possibilities to configure or adapt the trolley to your wishes.

The above mentioned applications are configurations based on our standard medical carts. These standard carts are modular in design, allowing to create any configuration according to customer specification. This means that the displayed cart configurations can be adjusted as desired. This includes for example removing or adding a shelf, bottle bracket or other components. In case a desired item is not part of our standard product range, it is also possible to deliver custom made parts. In this case we can design the required item, and produce this design for you. Please contact our sales department to discuss the possibilities.
