Thinking of Buying...Centralized OR Controls
The ins and outs of video and information routing and recording.
Terry Miller, Executive Vice President and COO

If you're about to build new ORs or renovate existing ones, prepare each room for the eventual addition of integrated surgical video and centralized OR controls. Even if outfitting an integrated surgical suite is low on your wish list, designing the space, conduits and basic infrastructure ahead of time will ease the later installation of hardware and cabling.
