OPERATING THEATRES ARTICLES

Last October, Reinsberg Group, the medtech holding of Prague-based private equity firm, BHM Group, acquired a majority stake in Brandon Medical – as part of its strategy to build a strong group of independent European medical manufacturers. Simultaneously, Brandon unveiled ‘a bold rebrand’.

On 14 March, as part of an IHEEM North-West Branch event, members were given an exclusive pre-launch tour of what the two Company Affiliates who have jointly established the facility – MIG Medical and Dräger Medical – say is ‘a ground-breaking’ Healthcare Innovation Centre, at Union House, Altrincham. Subjects covered in the day’s accompanying presentations included technology’s part in enhancing clinical care, effective alarm management in critical care settings, a new open standard that enables connectivity across medical devices, and regulations for working at height and in confined spaces.
