STARKSTROM MEDICAL MATTERS

"Excellence and Innovation in Medical Engineering"

Welcome to our summer 2012 newsletter. So far this year we have already exhibited at IHEEM in Northern Ireland, BADS & BESS in Torquay and will be at  AfPP in October. Starkstrom has expanded considerably since last year, both at home and abroad and we have now formed both a dedicated export division and a separate clinical division. Members of our team are present at many overseas exhibitions and conferences, and we have launched various new products and produced a number of new brochures. Please contact us or visit our website for more information.







New S300 pendant launch with multi movement, electro-mechanical, articulating arm

Starkstrom has designed a new multi movement electro-mechanical, elliptical articulating arm for our new range of S300 pendants

The new  S300 multi-movement pendant has a number of striking new design features including a new motor with heavy duty lifting capacity of 180kgs, a modular elliptical arm arrangement available in a number of different lengths (which is extremely infection control friendly), and a modular design with low life costs. Coupled with the original features of the unique triangular pendant column, this makes the new pendant hard to beat technically and aesthetically. Our own extensive range of pendants covers the Operating Room, Critical Care areas and A & E and is generally custom designed for each project

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital has opened four new dedicated paediatric operating rooms as part of the development of the Chelsea Children’s Hospital, designed to provide world-class children’s services following the hospital’s designation as the lead centre for specialist paediatric and neonatal surgery in North West London.  The facility is equipped to carry out the most complex surgery on babies and children, with each operating room equipped to the highest standard, combining technical excellence with a sleek, modern and uncluttered appearance.
Medical engineering specialist, Starkstrom, was brought in to provide various pieces of equipment, including surgeons' control panels and KLS Martin marLED operating lights, after extensive research by the surgical team, assisted by equipment consultants, showed these lights to be the ideal choice.  Starkstrom is the official UK distributor for the lights, and has many years of experience successfully designing, installing and maintaining clinical light systems in a variety of environments.
