Nepean Private Hospital Invests in State-of-the-Art Endoscopy System
Nepean Private Hospital has been providing healthcare services to Penrith, the Blue Mountains and surrounds for more than 20 years. The hospital comprises 10 operating theatres and procedure rooms equipped to perform major and minor procedures in a diverse range of specialities, providing high quality care to the community, close to home.
In keeping with its commitment to deliver high quality care to patients, Nepean Private Hospital recently become one of the first private hospitals in the country to implement the latest Olympus EVIS X1 endoscopy platform.
This will provide the opportunity for specialists to work with the gold standard EVIS X1 system to improve patient diagnosis and outcomes from disorders of the stomach, colon and oesophagus.
Nepean Private Hospital General Manager Dr Tim Sinclair said the purchase of the Olympus EVIS X1 was another example of the hospital and its outstanding surgeons being at the forefront of surgical innovation. “We are committed to ensuring our world-class surgeons have access to leading edge medical technology, to ensure our patients get the absolute best medical care,” Dr Sinclair said.
The Olympus EVIS X1 system innovations include Extended Depth of Field (EDOF) Endoscopes with Full Focus and High Magnification, Narrow Band Imaging (NBI), Red Dichromatic Imaging (RDI) and Tissue Enhancement (TXI). These easy-to-use technologies aim to revolutionise the way gastrointestinal disorders can be detected, characterised and treated which will allow the clinicians at Nepean Private Hospital to improve clinical outcomes through early detection and minimally invasive endoscopic treatment. The addition of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies as Olympus rapidly evolves with AI modules of this exciting new clinical tool, allows the EVIS X1 system to set the benchmark for endoscopic care ensuring patients receive the treatment they deserve when having an endoscopy.
Olympus is a global technology leader, crafting innovative optical and digital solutions in medical technologies, and the EVIS X1 system exceeds this very high expectation. The field of endoscopy is more than simply enabling visualisation to identify disease, with technology playing a key role in assisting clinicians to find, diagnose and treat disease at its earliest stages.
By helping to facilitate screening and early detection of abnormalities, EVIS X1 technology can play a key role in detecting these abnormalities before they can progress to cancers of the gastrointestinal tract.
