A NEW £2.5 million modular state-of-the-art operating theatre and recovery area at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary is equipped with a safe and resilient critical power system from Bender UK.
Ulverston-based Bender UK also supplied specialised theatre equipment including LED operating lights, services pendants supplying medical gases, power and data, the theatre touchscreen panel which controls theatre services, and the large hi-def PACS screen for viewing patient scans, X-rays and other images.
The new theatre was built to provide capacity that enables four existing operating theatres at the RLI to be refurbished and upgraded without disrupting clinical activity. The project was managed by the University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust Capital Services Team.
