QUEBEC CITY — Technimount EMS, an advanced manufacturer of mounting solutions for medical devices, announces the release of the Xtension Pro(TM) Assistant- CCT; a solution that will try and allow the transfer of critically ill patients to specialized care facilities. The Xtension Pro Assistant – CCT is the result of a research and development process that began a few years ago and conducted in close collaboration with Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal, part of CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal.
A highly specialized and multi-disciplinary team of experts is needed to transfer a patient on ECMO. Every moment counts, and it is crucial to ensure the safety of patients and crews during transport. Technimount says they understand the evolving needs of the Critical Care industry and responds with a solution on the market.
Designed, developed and manufactured by Technimount, the Xtension ProTM Assistant – CCT reportedly brings safety to patients and crews with a robust system for the management of multiple life-sustaining medical devices, such as ECMO, during Critical Care Transport. This mounting solution integrates an ergonomic gliding system that facilitates lateral patient transfer. In addition, all medical device brackets have also been designed with a quick-release system that allows for easy removal of medical devices.
“Our Foundation is proud to have made it possible for the intensive care team at Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal to make this acquisition. As the first hospital in Quebec to acquire this equipment, our major university hospital will continue its progress towards excellence and innovation. We are convinced that the Foundation’s contribution represents a real investment that will help critical care experts save more lives,” said Paul Bergeron, President, and CEO of the Sacré-Coeur de Montréal Hospital Foundation.
“This is a major innovation that will allow an entire specialized team to travel for the repatriation of highly unstable patients, bringing with them all the necessary equipment with ease and safety. This will allow our advanced respiratory team to be even more effective in saving the lives of critically ill patients in referring hospitals. This is a great example of the constructive interaction of specialized clinical intensive care staff with Technimount’s dynamic and creative team,” added Dr. Martin Albert, Intensivist at Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal.
This collaboration allowed Technimount to create a system adapted to the specific and evolving needs of critical care providers.
