A healthcare technology success story at James Cook Hospital

In a demonstration of how innovative technology can transform healthcare delivery, James Cook Hospital in Middlesborough has supercharged their prosthetics and orthodontics production process with the Multiplier. Under the leadership of Maxillofacial Prosthetist Mark Jagger, the hospital's implementation of new pressure forming technology has led to significant improvements in efficiency and patient care. 

Watch the video to learn how they achieved these impressive results:

At James Cook Hospital in Middlesborough, Maxillofacial Prosthetist Mark Jagger and his team faced significant time constraints in their laboratory work. Their single pressure forming machine could only handle one model at a time, creating a monotonous and time-consuming process. The busy lab, which produces orthodontic retainers, sleep apnea appliances, face masks, and prosthetics for trauma, cancer, and congenital defect patients, needed a more efficient solution.

The team implemented the Mayku Multiplier, an advanced pressure forming machine that can process multiple models simultaneously. This new technology offered enhanced functionality, accommodating various materials and sizes, while ensuring consistent, high-quality results every time.

The Multiplier improved efficiency by enabling the team to process 7-12 models simultaneously, compared to their previous one-at-a-time approach. This significant boost in productivity quickly justified the initial investment.

The investment in the Multiplier has positively affceted the laboratory's operations, enabling them to expand their services and improve patient care. As Mark notes, seeing the positive impact on patients' lives has added significant value to their work. The hospital's management recognized these benefits, making it an easy decision to invest in the technology.
