Philips announced the opening of the world's first Hybrid oR with FlexMove – a ceilingmounted option for the Allura xper x-ray system, designed to optimise workflow in Hybrid ors – at the University Hospital Zurich (Universitäts Spital Zürich, USZ), Switzerland. A Hybrid oR is the integration of a surgical operating room with an advanced x-ray imaging system. This enables cardiovascular surgeons as well as interventionalists, to perform minimally invasive procedures. Further launches of FlexMove are planned later this year in Belgium, Germany, North America and the Republic of Ireland.
