A vendor-neutral surgical system seamlessly connects to operating room (OR) equipment, balancing patient safety with operational efficiency.

The Hill-Rom Holdings (Batesville, IN, USA) Helion Integrated Surgical System allows users to route, record, and share any video source from any vendor using any video standard, up to 4K with full three dimensional (3D) support. The user-centered design and intuitive interfaces and controls aid effective management of the surgical suite and flow of patient information. Flexible display and recording options including split views, simultaneous two-channel recording, and on-screen room controls that allow surgical teams to quickly customize and adjust preferences.
