Dräger Launches Architectural Systems for Critical Care Areas

New Design Studio Opens in Toronto
The architectural systems product range includes the most advanced ceiling supply units, workstations and systems specially designed to meet the needs of critical care areas. Flexible and easily configured for changing requirements, these units bring devices, supplies and lines off the floor and position them at the acute point of care. These units improve patient access and safety. Through a range of products and flexible modular components, these systems can be configured to ensure adaptability as the acuity levels change within each department.

Using the latest technology and three-dimensional software, Dräger will now be able to assist customers in the design of a custom workplace that follows the existing workflow and helps clinical staff to work more efficiently. Through its new design studio, the company will create a flexible critical care workspace that improves patient care and optimizes equipment management.

“The intensive care and trauma areas require well planned coordination between architects, project planners and clinical staff,” said Jeff Wilding, General Manager, Draeger Medical Canada Inc. “With more than fifty years of experience working in this environment, we provide the expertise along with state-of-the art design tools and innovative products to create critical care workplaces for the future.”

Dräger provides a range of products for the hospital environment including patient monitors, anesthesia management systems, infant care incubators and ventilators. “Through the extension of our portfolio with architectural systems, we now bring our expertise in the hospital environment to the design of critical care workspaces,” Wilding added.

The company’s design studio is located at 120 East Beaver Creek Road, Suite 120, Richmond Hill, Ontario. Consultation and design configuration are by appointment. For more information, please contact Steve Hobbs, Business Manager, Architectural Systems, (514) 942-5988, steve.hobbs@draeger.com.
