WELLSVILLE — Increased patient safety and comfort are just two of the benefits of the new orthopaedic surgery table, recently delivered and put into immediate use at Jones Memorial Hospital, the hospital said Tuesday.
Purchased through a gift from Charlie Joyce and Otis Eastern, the new fracture table was chosen with input from Dr. Paul Axtell, orthopaedic surgeon.
“Dr. Axtell had used this table in the past and recommended it,” said Donna Bliven, vice president of patient care services at Jones. “The new table includes features that will shorten the time the patient spends in surgery, which means a shorter time under anesthesia, which is a benefit to patient safety.”
The new fracture table, a Mizuho OSI Hana table, replaces one that is more than 30 years old.
