Thanks to the donors, it was possible to replace 30-year-old equipment with a
modern microscope for surgery in the Department of Plastic-Reconstructive
Microsurgery at the Ohmatdyt Children's Hospital. The department treats many injuries and pathologies: fractures; dislocations of limbs; multiple injuries;
amputations; damage to tendons, vessels, nerves; tumors of the wrist; birth paralysis of limbs, and so on. The leading direction of work is the treatment of congenital defects of the face and their consequences.
The new equipment was put into use by the doctors immediately after it arrived at Ohmatdyt. Thanks to the modern microscope, the same day specialists were able to successfully reattach a patient's injured finger, which was already on the verge of amputation.
The microscope from the well-known German Leica group, with a dual binocular for working with an assistant. It has magnetic brakes, xenon lighting, and adjustablenfocus.
This is what the medical equipment looked like, on which surgeries were performed until recently. It was installed in the hospital in 1990 and was outdated and malfunctioning. Thanks to all of you, today the department has received a modern expert-level microscope, and now our children are undergoing surgeries with the involvement of the best European medical equipment!
«The new optical device has much better image quality, which has helped to reduce the duration of the operation and improve the quality of suturing. The microscope is mobile, modern, with good optics. It allows providing help at the highest level to all patients, even children who have been injured as a result of military actions,» - said Valeriy BOVKUN, head of the Department of Plastic-Reconstructive Microsurgery at Ohmatdyt.
The surgical microscope is equipped with electric controls for position changes, tilt angles, and other automatic settings.
High optical visualization with a great depth of field;
Smooth scaling and focusing adjustments using electric drives;
The suspension lever allows almost effortless positioning of the device;
Multifocal lens;
Ergonomics and ease of control;
The ability to install additional photo/video modules (camera, video recorder, monitor, etc.);
Hand and foot switches.
We thank our good friends and donors from the Academy of Advanced Aesthetics, Academy of AA West, who conducted a charity collection among their clients and employees.
Also to our friends and donors who last June held a charity concert for the children of Ukraine - Singing from the Heart.
