The decision to invest in surgical power tools is a crucial one. Such a decision involves a wide range of stakeholders who are all tasked with the same aim: adopting products, technologies and services that exceed key criteria defining their roles and responsibilities.

An expert in operative nursing, scrub nurses are a vital team member in the successful outcome of any surgical procedure.

With theatre lists often encountering delays, working in an operating room environment can sometimes be a stressful experience. Therefore the need to adopt simplistic products and technologies that are easy to handle and prepare are key.

With its streamlined configuration and ‘plug and play’ technology, ELAN 4 provides users with a system that is easy to configure, ensuring the system is available at the point of need. All key assembly and disassembly requirements are marked by a golden operating element, offering a system which is easier to interpret and configure.

Ensuring the seamless operation of the theatre department and its staff; providing the highest levels of patient care to a defined budget, are just some of the daily challenges facing any theatre department and management team.

One area which can impact the efficient utilisation of valuable operating time is the non-availability of surgical equipment due to it being damaged, faulty or unreliable. For over 40 years ELAN has been acknowledged globally as a drill system that offers reliability and uninterrupted performance.

Complementing performance are a dedicated team of B. Braun Technical Services personnel supporting your team throughout the entire lifecycle of the equipment, ensuring a whole system partnership approach to healthcare provision is achieved.
