Theatre Solutions
Complete surgical and endoscopic infrastructure for African hospitals.
Safe surgery is unavailable to five billion people worldwide.
Surgical care is one of the most cost-effective health interventions available — yet 57% of Africans cannot access it when they need it. The shortage is not only surgeons: it is the theatre infrastructure that enables them to operate safely. Operating lights that fail mid-procedure, theatre tables that cannot achieve correct positioning, endoscopy systems with poor image quality — these translate directly into patient harm. Jos•Hansen addresses the infrastructure gap end to end.
HD and 4K visualisation for minimally invasive surgery.
Endoscopy and laparoscopy have transformed surgery — shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, lower infection rates. But the benefits depend entirely on image quality. Jos•Hansen's theatre portfolio includes full HD and 4K systems from Pentax Medical, Richard Wolf and Olympus — with NBI optical enhancement, LED light sources and networked image capture for recording and remote teaching.
Theatre positioning and illumination engineered for Africa.
Brandon Medical LED surgical lights deliver up to 160,000 lux at 4,000–4,500 K — shadow-free, colour-accurate and rated for 50,000+ hours without bulb replacement. Steel & Power electro-hydraulic operating tables with radiolucent tops allow C-arm fluoroscopy without repositioning. Every product is specified for high-utilisation environments with variable power supply.
Maximum illuminance — shadow-free, colour-accurate intraoperative light
Rated LED operating life before any replacement is required
Colour temperature for accurate tissue colour rendering in theatre
Infection control from instrument to patient.
Surgical site infections are among the most preventable causes of morbidity and mortality in African hospitals — and are closely linked to the quality of CSSD processes. Jos•Hansen supplies and validates EN 285–compliant steam sterilisation autoclaves, washer-disinfectors and ultrasonic cleaners, with full IQ/OQ/PQ qualification and ongoing consumable supply.
One supplier. The complete theatre environment.
Piecemeal procurement produces piecemeal theatres. Jos•Hansen designs, supplies and commissions the entire surgical suite — so every system works as a unit from day one.
Africa-utilisation specified
Every product is selected for high-frequency, variable power supply environments. LED lights with battery backup, tables with manual hydraulic override, sterilisers calibrated for local water chemistry.
Full IQ/OQ/PQ validation
CSSD commissioning includes Installation Qualification, Operational Qualification and Performance Qualification — the complete validation package required for hospital accreditation and infection control audit.
Endoscopy network integration
We configure image capture, recording and remote-viewing networks alongside the endoscopy towers — enabling surgical teaching, case review and medico-legal documentation without third-party IT involvement.
In-service training included
Theatre nurses, biomedical technicians and surgeons receive hands-on training on every system we install. Refresher training and competency assessment are available under ongoing service contracts.
What the numbers say.
Theatre infrastructure choices have measurable clinical consequences. These are the benchmarks your theatre manager and infection control lead will be accountable to.
Lux output of Brandon Medical LED lights — the clinical standard for shadow-free intraoperative illumination
Rated LED operating hours versus roughly 1,000 hours for conventional halogen surgical lights
Fewer hospital days for laparoscopic versus open surgery, per Cochrane systematic review data
SSI rate reduction with EN 285-compliant CSSD processes, per WHO infection control guidance
Everything a surgical suite needs.
From flexible endoscopy and laparoscopy towers to LED surgical lighting, motorised operating tables and EN 285–compliant CSSD systems — Jos•Hansen supplies, installs and commissions the complete theatre environment.
Global manufacturers. African execution.
Every product we supply is sourced from world-class manufacturers and backed by Jos•Hansen's local installation, training and service capability across East and Southern Africa.
