COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL RESOURCES
As part of our commitment to technology, Houston Orthopedic & Spine Hospital, one of the first all-digital hospitals in the nation, has a full service laboratory, a cutting-edge radiology imaging including magnetic resonance images (MRI), computer tomography (CT)
x-ray and fluoroscopy, and the latest equipment in physical therapy.
Our picture archival capture system allows us to send and view images throughout the hospital and remotely as needed. What this means for you is efficient diagnosis by your medical team at any given location.
For surgical procedures, our 10 operating suites allow our physicians access to the most advanced tools in minimally invasive procedures. This includes the innovative procedures MAKOplasty® and Mazor Robotics’ Renaissance™. MAKOplasty® pairs our surgeon's skilled hands with a robotic arm, to get patients back on their feet a few hours after knee surgery. This procedure is done in only a few hospitals around the world. The Mazor Robotics’ Renaissance™ is transforming spine surgery from freehand procedures to highly-accurate robotic procedures using a virtual 3D blueprint to guide the tools and implants.
TECHNOLOGY THAT REDUCES THE RISKS OF INFECTION
HOSH strives to meet the highest standards in reducing the risks of infection in the operating room by utilizing the latest cutting-edge technology in 30 years called Nimbic Systems Air Barrier System (ABS). Research has shown that in-hospital complications such as infection can be caused by airborne particles carrying bacteria, usually skin bacteria shed by operating room personnel, that are deposited into surgical sites at the time of surgery. Stopping the intrusions of these airborne organisms is an important element of preventing infection.
The ABS delivers HEPA-filtered clean air immediately adjacent to the surgery site, creating a clean airflow layer directly over the surgical wound. A localized, clean air cocoon of 6" x 20" and a 2" depth produced by the ABS creates a protective environment that significantly reduces the presence of airborne microorganisms by up to 84%. |
