Maquet – Optimum Medical Workplaces
The Maquet Group is the global market leader for medical systems, focusing on the Operating Room (OR) and Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The integrated products of Maquet are specially designed to deliver the best medical treatment within acute care hospitals. Maquet provides innovative medical solutions from three divisions:

Cardiovascular with solutions for cardiac and vascular surgery as well as perfusion products such as heart-lung machines and disposables for open-heart surgery
Critical Care for anesthesia, ventilation therapy and patient monitoring
Surgical Workplaces for OR tables, surgical lights, ceiling service units and complete OR theatres
In this register Maquet presents a selection of its wide range of general-purpose and speciality operating tables – from economically-priced, manual basic-OR tables to motor-powered adjustable “all-rounders” with modular table tops and IR-control panels. The latest development of surgical lights – the PowerLED is also on display as well as Maquet telemedicine – the digital OR integration.

MOBILE OPERATING TABLES
Close co-operation with physicians and surgeons, along with Maquet’s decades of know-how, makes for products optimized to meet the needs of practice. Maquet products facilitate work in the operating room and help to enhance patient safety and comfort.

The best example of this is the Alphamaxx. It can withstand extreme loads in every configuration, can be matched to patient stature thanks to its modular concept, and can be set up for every surgical discipline in just a few easy steps.

The Alphastar features an optional hand control panel, an IR-control panel and a foot switch. There is also a control panel at the head of the column for emergency situations.

User satisfaction is the yardstick for the Betastar. Its versatility makes the Betastar a truly universal operating table. It offers effective solutions for the widest variety of requirements in the OR.

The AlphaClassic represents the cost-effectiveness and operational comfort provided by MAQUET products. The options of IR remote control, corded hand control, and footswitch make patient positioning much easier and quicker. The override panel on the column provides additional safety in the case of loss or damage to a hand control. The smooth electro-hydraulic power unit reduces manual handling by staff in the operating room.

SPECIAL-PURPOSE OPERATING TABLE
The Orthostar is designed for extension treatment in traumatology. This mobile operating table is a proven unit for all procedures of osteosynthesis. Furthermore, the new functional conception of the Orthostar provides comprehensive possibilities in orthopaedic and spinal surgery.

OPERATING TABLE SYSTEMS
Maquet has been proving its expertise in medical technology for 170 years. With the Magnus operating table system, Maquet is opening up a new, forward-looking chapter in the history of innovation.

Not only, but especially in very overweight patients, you can see the advantages for surgeons, nursing staff and the patient at the first glance. Previously impossible ultra-wide adjustment ranges for optimum patient positioning make Magnus the leading, efficient operating table system.

SURGICAL LIGHTS
Operating theatre lights have a significant impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of the surgical team. Light quality is obviously a critical consideration but operating temperature, shadow control, manoeuvrability, and even the shape of the light are also vitally important.

The PowerLED surgical light from Maquet produces a completely new approach to surgical lighting. It uses Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) to provide a unique, high quality, pre-focused light source of 120,000 Lux with excellent heat management. In the PowerLED, the use of many separate light sources plays a crucial role in reducing the shadows that interfere with the operating area. In addition, Maquet has developed an electronic head detection system to compliment the light’s shadow control feature.

TELEMEDICINE – DIGITAL OR INTEGRATION
Overcoming time and space with telemedicine. Maquet offers networked expert knowledge for operating theatre practice, teaching and research that ensures efficient workflow and fast problem solving. Innovative telemedicine systems are therefore required to provide high technical and manufacturer-independent peripheral compatibility, e.g. with already existing equipment, in order to meet the economic demands of modern medical technology. As a system integrator, Maquet is able to fulfil these requirements, as one of the few providers of telemedicine systems.
