Donor Funding Update
New equipment for Orthopedics Department
Your donations are making operations here at the Health
Centre safer for both patients and surgeons. OR Manager
Breanne Kinney models the latest in head and face protection
during orthopedic surgeries: it’s called the Flyte Helmet by
Stryker.
Thanks to our donors, we have funded three of these helmets
and they are designed to prevent infection and contamination
by increasing the sterile area surrounding the surgeon. These
helmets have a large shield for good visibility and a fan inside
to keep the surgeon cool and comfortable.
Your donations have also helped us fund new surgical tools
that are larger, designed
to be more powerful with
a longer lasting battery,
more accurate and more
efficient.
These
high-
powered drills and saws
result in patients spending
less time in surgery and are
critical pieces of equipment
for our local surgeons.
