Technimount EMS Launches ECMO Mounting Solution

PRESS RELEASE

QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC—Technimount EMS, a leading provider of mounting solutions for medical devices, announced Oct. 14, 2022, the release of the Xtension Pro^TM Assistant-CCT, a revolutionary solution that will allow the safe transfer of critically ill patients to specialized care facilities.

Xtension Pro Assistant-CCT is the result of a complex research and development process that started a few years ago, and that was conducted in close collaboration with one of Canada’s leading health care institutions, Hôpital du Sacré-Cœur de Montréal, part of CIUSSS du Nord-de-l’Île-de-Montréal.

Designed, developed and manufactured by Technimount, the Xtension Pro Assistant-CCT is tested in compliance with the highest industry standards for EMS transport, as published by the Society of Automative Engineers (SAE). This solution brings safety to patients and crews with a robust system for the management of multiple life-sustaining medical devices, such as ECMO, during critical care transport. This mounting solution integrates key features highly appreciated by critical care transport professionals, such as an ergonomic gliding system that facilitates lateral patient transfer. In addition, all medical device brackets have also been designed with a quick-release system that allows for easy removal of medical devices.

Responding to the unique operational needs of EMS and health care providers, the Xtension Pro Assistant-CCT improves interchangeability between medical devices, enabling customization according to protocols in place. This solution features Technimount’s universal mounting system widely used among EMS in North America, ensuring a seamless transition from ground emergency transport up to hospital environments.

“Our foundation is proud to have made it possible for the intensive care team at Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal to make this acquisition. As the first hospital in Quebec to acquire this equipment, our major university hospital will continue its progress towards excellence and innovation. We are convinced that the foundation’s contribution represents a real investment that will help critical care experts save more lives,” said Paul Bergeron, president and CEO of the Sacré-Coeur de Montréal Hospital Foundation. “This is a major innovation that will allow an entire specialized team to travel for the repatriation of highly unstable patients, bringing with them all the necessary equipment with ease and safety."
