Modular operating theatre solutions from Getinge
Getinge is proud to play an integral part in the construction of the medical infrastructure at INS Vikrant. Getinge installed IN2, its modular and integrated OT along with Moduevo, ceiling support units and Volista surgical light, at INS Vikrant. These solutions are part of Getinge’s operating room portfolio and were installed to support the operating theatres within the ship’s medical facility.
It is an honor to be associated with a project of national importance. We are especially proud that, in line with the ethos of Atmanirbhar Bharat, the modular operating theatres were entirely made in India.
