MEDIA ADVISORY - Irving Shipbuilding to announce lead gift to the QEII Foundation for spinal robotics surgical technology at the QEII Health Sciences Centre
HALIFAX, NS, Jan. 30, 2024 /CNW/ - On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, Irving Shipbuilding Inc. will announce a donation to the QEII Foundation to support spinal robotics technology and research at the QEII Health Sciences Centre.
With the support from this lead donation, the QEII was the first health centre in Canada to perform a patient procedure using the robot, and the only health centre in Atlantic Canada to house the technology.
The advanced technology, called the MAZOR™ X Stealth Edition, combines an innovative robotic arm and an advanced surgical navigation system to help perform some of the most exact, personalized surgeries possible. The technology is used for patients needing spinal implants — like screws and rods — for degenerative conditions.
