Peconic Bay Medical Center The strategic partnership of VTS Medical Systems, LLC and STERIS Corporation, has recently completed the design, installation and integration of a new surgical unit covering 20,000 square feet of the Peconic Bay Medical Center. The five, 650-square-foot operating rooms are each equipped with the latest technology, including a super high definition video system allowing surgeons to confer in real time with colleagues anywhere in the world. These five new state-of-the-art operating rooms are equal in size and technological advancements to those found in major teaching hospitals.
PBMC’s new surgery suites are each equipped with shadow-eliminating LED surgical lights. High definition cameras and monitors are positioned overhead on custom booms connected to the ceiling. The open-architecture design allows quick, precise positioning and by removing clutter, a safer, more efficient surgical environment for both staff and patients.
The design and integration also consisted of image routing and inter-disciplinary collaboration including tele-medicine and inter-connection to pathology. The project was another example of our strategic partnership with STERIS Corporation who provided the lights, booms, surgical tables and project management and VTS that provided the engineering design, development, programming and integration. The first surgical procedures are scheduled to be completed in the new surgical pavilion on May 4, 2009.
