Ceiling mounted C-arm meets theatre’s requirements

The London Clinic deputy director of clinical services Paul Apps signs a contract for an Allura Xper system with Philips Healthcare southern district general manager Ian Graves. With them are Philips account manager Gary Bailey, clinic capital planning director Anthony Beecroft, acting radiology manager Sophie Auld and theatre manager Janet Reeve.
The London Clinic has selected a Philips Allura Xper FD20 Flexmove system for its state-of-the-art, purpose built hybrid theatre.
Acting radiology manager Sophie Auld said: “We believe that The London Clinic’s hybrid theatre will be one of the most modern in the world; with the versatile Philips Flexmove, it will be a fully equipped operating table that is electronically linked to real-time optimal vascular imaging equipment.”
The London Clinic has a Philips Allura Xper FD20 system in its angiography suite and is said to be impressed with its clinical and economical performance and reliability. The advantages of having two Philips systems include consistency in training of interventional radiographers and continuity for consultant interventional radiologists within the clinic.
