Andrews Institute’s Surgical Skills Lab receives upgrade

GULF BREEZE — The Andrews Research & Education Foundation Surgical Skills Lab at Andrews Institute for Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine recently experienced a renovation.

Arthex and Team 1 Orthopaedics Inc. provided the upgrades, which include:

  • New arthroscopy cameras that allow physicians an inside view of the body while performing arthroscopic surgery.
  • Upgraded surgical shavers used for tissue resection and bone debridement during arthroscopic procedures.
  • High definition monitors that display what the camera captures. This allows the physician to have a clear visualization of the procedure performed.
  • New pumps that remove fluid and resected tissue/debrided bone material allow for clear visualization in the area where the arthroscopic procedure is being performed.
  • Removing old cabinet and counter islands to install new arthroscopy and workstations that will allow for more space, giving physicians more practice room and accommodating more people during a training session.
  • New set of drills and pins and wire drivers with attachments.
