Project Overview
Crown Healthcare successfully installed the Mindray HyBase 8300 Operating Table (Model 0400) in a major operating theatre at The Nairobi Hospital. This advanced electro-hydraulic table offers a modular design, high weight capacity, and flexible positioning options, making it ideal for both general and specialty surgeries including orthopedics, urology, gynecology, neurosurgery, and laparoscopic procedures.
Rationale for Investment
Surgical Volume & Complexity: Increased caseloads and more advanced surgical interventions required robust, high-performance OT tables.
Replacement of Legacy Equipment: Existing manual or semi-electric tables were limited in range of motion, weight handling, and adjustment precision.
Surgeon-Centric Design: The HyBase 8300 offers programmable, automated positioning and remote control, reducing manual effort and enhancing procedural consistency.
