Spectrum Ophthalmics has announced the launch of the NovyMed DOC (Dynamic Operating Chair). 

The NovyMed DOC is a unique concept, that is both an operating chair and a table.

Suitable for ophthalmology, ENT, oral, and plastic surgery, the DOC saves time and eliminates manual handling and the risk of back injury for clinical personnel. 

Developed specifically for day surgery, the DOC compliments the SurgiCube and Toul Operio clean air units, available exclusively through Spectrum’s distribution partnership.

It removes the necessity for an additional bed or stretcher, saving clinical time and reducing capital investment.

And clinical efficiencies of between 40-50% can be created using multiple DOC operating chairs.

David Killengray, managing director at Spectrum, said: “I am proud to welcome NovyMed International BV as a strategic partner. Its novel concept is an ideal fit with our product range. 

“Patients can stay in the DOC during the whole procedure, from admission to surgery through to recovery. This offers many advantages including pre-op, treatment, and/or surgery, together with recovery.

“Adding the DOC to our product range makes absolute sense. Our focus is to deliver innovative solutions that help reduce clinical running costs, offer sterile environments, improve clinical efficiencies, and enhance patient experiences.”

Richard Krznaric, managing director of NovyMed International BV, added: “I am delighted to form a strategic partnership with Spectrum Ophthalmics as a leading provider of ophthalmic solutions in the UK. 

“Its strategic partnership with SuiteSurgery offering clean air systems such as SurgiCube and Toul Operio are a great fit with our product, supporting effortless patient flow through the day surgery unit.”
