A device developed in West Norfolk which aims to make it safer to give patients anaesthetic is going global.
Patients in Italy could now be treated by the SAFIRA system which was created by staff from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King’s Lynn.
It was first invented by consultants at the hospital and gives better control of the injection process.
Rebecca Martin, Medical Director at The QEH, said: “This latest distribution agreement is a fantastic example of how clinician-led innovation at The QEH can lead to meaningful, global improvements in patient safety. We’re incredibly proud that an idea conceived right here in King’s Lynn is now helping shape safer anaesthesia practices internationally.
“SAFIRA® is a testament to the power of partnership between our talented clinicians and commercial collaborators like Medovate. This achievement reflects the innovation, dedication, and forward-thinking culture we nurture at The QEH.”
