Marshall Land Systems Deployable Medical Capability Presented at Trauma Innovation 2013

Medical systems are at the heart of the presentation from Marshall Land Systems, part of the Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group, during Trauma Innovation 2013 (www.traumainnovation.com) being held at the Park Plaza Hotel, London from 15 to 17 January 2013.

On stand D10 the company will be discussing how it can help partners with medical products to turn these into solutions which help to manage severe trauma at all stages of the casualty chain from the point of injury through comprehensive care at a Role 3 Field Hospital and subsequent strategic air evacuation to the home base location.

“We have a history of providing medical solutions which goes back many years to the first British Army Land Rover ambulances.  We have supplied three generations of these vehicles, the most recent are still in service today on Operations,” said Ray Cutting, Managing Director of Marshall Land Systems.

“Today, our expertise includes providing fully equipped, deployable hospitals, including highly mobile CT scanners and casualty loading systems for military vehicles,” he added.

The UK’s Defence Medical Services, the Norwegian Defence Forces and NATO (through NSPA) have all chosen the Marshall Land Systems deployable CT Scanner.  These fully integrated systems have a Philips Healthcare Brilliance Scanner integrated within a Marshall Matrix expandable shelter.  The Marshall CT Scanner system puts vital diagnostic capability, normally available only in fixed hospital facilities, into the hands of clinicians on deployed operations. The Marshall deployable CT Scanner includes full radiation protection integrated within the unit, a protected operator area, full air conditioning and environmental control, and UPS backup equipment to preserve vital imaging data.  The CT scanner can be operational and providing patient diagnostics within eight hours of arriving on site.

The Norwegian Defence Forces deployable hospital, supplied by Marshall Land Systems, is a fully integrated system which has all the facilities that are expected within a UK NHS or European standard hospital.  These include surgical and dental operating units, a blood bank, laboratories, a pharmacy, central sterilisation and intensive care wards.

In addition to the company’s pedigree of providing UK MoD ambulances, Marshall Land Systems has been working with two other vehicle manufacturers to develop and provide stretcher loading systems for the Ambulance variants of the military vehicles.
