Hospital facilities

Hospital Facilities

Credentialled practitioners and their patients access to superbly equipped operating theatres, with advanced technologies and a full range modern patient facilities. These include 26 well-equipped in-patient rooms, and day stay facilities that allow us to accommodate up to 15 patients in any session, where their treatment does not involve inpatient admission.

Modern facilities

Recent programmes of  modernisation and facility upgrades have helped our hospital to offer a wide range of services to patients in the region. The hospital features not only advanced theatres and comfortable patient facilities, but also a modern theatre sterilisation systems unit, a large number of in-patient beds, and a day-stay facility for patients whose  procedures are completed without the need for an overnight stay.

Televisions and ensuites are all part of the design of our patient areas, ensuring high levels of patient comfort.

Black Diamond Video system

Our hospital in Invercargill was the first Southern Cross hospital within our national network to install a new ‘Black Diamond Video’ (BDV) system.

The BDV technology integrates the digital information captured in the operating room, and allows surgeons and theatre staff to call it up and view it using touch-screen controls and leading edge technologies.

The system provides surgeons with an enhanced view of patient  anatomy, which is particularly helpful with minimally invasive techniques.

Advanced technologies

Our Invercargill hospital offers credentialled practitioners and patients access to modern operating theatres, and we are always working to evaluate and incorporate appropriate digital, laser and high-definition visual
technologies, particularly those that improve surgical precision and are likely to prove valuable for use in laparoscopic and other more exacting types of surgery.

Our operating theatre technologies currently include a 'Black Diamond Video' system, digital operating theatre systems, and laser surgery support (Holmium laser technology) - which is available for use by independent credentialled practitioners in appropriate prostate procedures.
