Cairn supports amazing Children’s Heart Surgery Fund

Here at Cairn Technology, we are delighted to have raised £2,300 for the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) since starting to donate in November 2021.

We are very proud to be supporting this amazing charity, as it provides life-saving medical equipment for the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit (LCHU), as well as parent accommodation for families, and vital ward resources.

In addition, the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund also funds staff training, scientific research, and new clinical roles.

Major requests for funding are reviewed by the board of trustees, which has awarded over £10 million in grants to the LCHU and the region’s supporting hospitals, helping countless congenital heart disease patients and their families.

Why and how we support CHSF

We have a strong personal connection with the charity, as one of our staff members has a daughter who was treated at the Heart Unit.

We will be funding vital equipment for the charity, as well as making contributions throughout the year to Bella’s INR home testing kit.

These kits reduce stress and allow a patient to test their blood levels themselves at home without missing school for hospital appointments.

Why help this children’s charity?

CHSF are wholly funded by donations from the public and business. So far, those donations have enabled the charity to help over 17,000 babies, children and adults living with congenital heart disease (CHD) each year.

So, if you are looking to support a children’s charity, this one should definitely be at the top of your list. And there are so many ways that you can get involved!

To get started, why not order a free fundraising pack which will give you plenty of fundraising ideas. Or if you already have your fundraising idea, you will need to register.

You can also find out about the various scheduled CHSF fundraising events at this link: https://www.chsf.org.uk/events/

Stille Surgical Instruments

No matter how the world of surgery will evolve in the coming years, one thing will always be true: Positive surgical outcomes begin with quality surgical instruments.

At ASGBI Congress 2023 we’ll be exhibiting the Stille range of precision-engineered surgical instruments. Each of these instruments is individually handcrafted through over 70 individual steps to give the world’s surgical elite a lifetime of perfection.

Warrantied for 30 years of use, the range includes the original SuperCut scissors, providing precision cutting to the very tip, as well as an exceptional range of stainless steel and titanium micro-instruments.

Learn more about the Stille range of surgical instruments.

Absorbent Mats for Hospitals

Our ultra-efficient absorbent mats are perfect for most applications, whether that’s capturing fluids during surgical procedures or containing splashes during cleaning processes.

At the ASGBI Congress 2023 we’ll be exhibiting the T-Mat, which is available exclusively from Cairn Technology. It’s capable of absorbing up to 8.5 litres of water or 3.5 litres of saline. It gels liquids within minutes, becoming dry to the touch. And because the fluid’s bound hygienically, it makes for easy non-drip disposal in clinical waste.

A cleaner surgical environment reduces the risk of cross-infection while avoiding spills that could lead to slips and falls. And as it makes for faster and more effective cleaning, the T-Mat can also serve to reduce your turnaround time between procedures. So come and talk to us at ASGBI Congress 2023, and we’ll demonstrate how a simple absorbent mat can make a huge difference to your cleanliness, efficiency, and infection control.
