CHICAGO, July 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hillrom (NYSE: HRC) announced today it is Advancing Connected Care™ in the operating room (OR) with the launch of its Helion™ Integrated Surgical System in the U.S. market. The Helion System provides surgical teams with the operating room connectivity, flexibility and efficient staff communications they need to enhance patient outcomes.

"The launch of the Helion System demonstrates our continued commitment to advancing Hillrom's connected care capabilities in the operating room," said Hillrom President and CEO John Groetelaars. "Our intuitive and reliable Helion Integrated Surgical System will serve as the core of the operating room, enhancing OR efficiency and communications, and allowing care teams to focus on the patient and surgical procedure versus the complexity of their technology."

In 2020, Hillrom acquired Videomed, a pioneer in OR integration with hundreds of installations worldwide, to bring Hillrom's vision of Advancing Connected Care™ to the operating room.
