Hybrid OR: Continued advancement in diagnostic, surgical care
The concept of the hybrid OR was born in the 1990s, but healthcare institutions were originally slow to adopt the model due, in part, to the initial sizable investment required. While there was a steady uptick in adoption around 2008, today there are still only some 100 hybrid ORs in the US. However, an increase in the number of minimally invasive surgeries is projected to augment hybrid OR industry growth.
