Getinge will incorporate Barco’s Nexxis video- over-IP platform with its new Tegris 6.0 operating room integration system. This comes on the back of a strong partnership between the two companies over the past seven years.

Both companies have wide expertise in bringing high-quality video and audio over IP into the operating room and their collaboration is enabling uncompressed, high-resolution video and audio sharing in and between operating rooms.

“Getinge’s Tegris solution leverages the power of Nexxis for a wide range of operating rooms,” said Hannes Schneider, Product Line Manager OR Integration at Getinge. “This way, we can create a safe and effective OR environment, free from excess of cables or the need for several remotes. From endoscopes, microscopes, room cameras or feeds from outside the OR, Tegris offers a simple, unified way of managing all types and numbers of video sources. It also ensures quick and easy access to relevant patient images during surgery through easy-to-use interfaces and integration with hospital information systems.” Nexxis is Barco’s video-over-IP solution specifically designed for the digital OR and enables sharing uncompressed, high-resolution video and audio in and between operating rooms or wards in a hospital. Nexxis is designed to be future proof, therefore is ready to integrate with new technologies as soon as they become available.

“Today’s ORs have become complex, highly technological environments,” explained Johan Fornier, VP of Surgical Imaging and Modality at Barco. “By combining Nexxis with Getinge’s Tegris solution, we provide the flexibility to adapt to different settings required for different types of surgery, from interventional rooms to hybrid ORs. By making it easier to add devices or switch sources, we also enable surgeons and clinical staff to provide better outcomes for patients.”
