The Wall of Knowledge: Transforming Operating Rooms with Brandon Medical’s Integrated Technology

In the fast-paced environment of a modern operating room, access to accurate, real-time information can make the difference between routine and remarkable care. Brandon Medical introduces the Wall of Knowledge: a fully integrated digital solution that brings together Medicontrol™, Symposia®, Entoli™, and PACS/CoPAX to create an intelligent, connected surgical environment.

At the heart of the Wall of Knowledge is Medicontrol™, Brandon Medical’s intelligent theatre control panel. Designed with clinical users in mind, it offers fingertip control over lighting, ventilation, alarms, surgical timers, and gas systems. Its intuitive interface ensures that clinical staff can focus more on patients and less on managing equipment.

Paired with Entoli™, surgeons gain full control of surgical video feeds, recording, and routing. The platform allows real-time switching of camera views and sharing of visual data both locally and remotely, empowering collaboration and reducing procedural delays.

Symposia View® Monitor Carrier

Symposia® acts as the digital backbone, integrating all AV sources and connecting them seamlessly to high-definition monitors within and outside the OR. It supports surgical education, MDT collaboration, and remote mentoring through two-way communication.

Bringing the data-rich environment to life, PACS and CoPAX workstations display diagnostic imaging, patient records, and procedural information in crystal clarity. Whether mounted on walls or integrated into mobile systems, these DICOM-compliant displays ensure clinicians always have the right information in the right place.

Pacs

Together, these technologies create the Wall of Knowledge in the Operating Room: a centralised, intelligent hub that enhances situational awareness, streamlines decision-making, and ultimately improves patient safety and surgical outcomes.

Key Benefits:

  • Centralised control of theatre environment and surgical visuals
  • Real-time access to patient data, imaging, and surgical video
  • Seamless integration with BMS and hospital networks
  • Enhanced collaboration and training via Symposia® and Entoli™
  • Supports Brandon Medical’s i2i (Isolated to Integrated) digital ecosystem
