Advanced Technologies
One of St. Anthony’s Hospital Foundation’s funding priorities is advanced technologies. It is important for our hospital to have the latest technology and equipment so we can provide the highest quality care for our patients.
The Foundation recently received numerous requests for equipment and patient program funding through its annual grant season. If you are interested in donating to fund a piece of equipment or program, contact Amy Leuschke, Director of Development, at 727-825-1109 or Amy.Leuschke@baycare.org or contact Kathy Parker, Executive Director, at 727-820-7318 or Kathy.Parker1@baycare.org.
Here are a few pieces of equipment funded in 2024:
Zeiss Kinevo 900 Microscope: The Kinevo 900 has specialized robotic control systems that enable surgeons to move the microscope in a spherical arch to enable safe navigation around the patient instead of repositioning the patient.
It also provides detailed real-time information about critical structures, which enhances the surgeon’s ability to remove difficult tumors.
ROSA Robot: This robot is used for complex craniotomy procedures. Neurosurgeons are able to perform the following procedures: Stereo Electroencephalography, Deep Brain Stimulation, Stereotactic Biopsy, Ventricular Endoscopy and Transnasal Endoscopy.
NICO Myriad Spectra: This device provides patients with deep brain tumors a minimally invasive procedure to remove these complex brain tumors.
Mobile Ergo C-Arm: The Arm allows radiology to see more anatomy with clarity at a low dose, offer versatility for complex patients, and enables surgical workflow with ergonomics and efficiency.
UroNav Biopsy System: UroNav is a stereo-tactic device intended to assist the clinician with clinical, interventional and/or diagnostic procedures for prostate biopsy.
It provides 2D and 3D visualization of Ultrasound images and the ability to fuse Ultrasound and MRI images. It also provides the ability to display images of the current and projected path of the instrument within the body.
