Getinge has completed the first North American installation of its full Surgical Workflows portfolio at UT Health San Antonio Multispecialty and Research Hospital, which is set to open this month.

The portfolio includes a comprehensive range of technologies across three key areas: infection control (washers, sterilizers, and ultrasonic systems), surgical workplaces (operating room tables, surgical lights, and ceiling supply units), and digital health solutions (Torin OR management, Tegris OR integration, and T-DOC instrument tracking). Together, these systems are designed to streamline workflows from the operating room to the intensive care unit and sterile processing department.

The San Antonio facility will support a variety of medical and surgical specialties, emphasizing cutting-edge technology to improve surgical precision, enhance operational efficiency, and prioritize patient safety. The installation aligns with the hospital's goal to establish itself as a center for innovation in healthcare.
UT Health San Antonio is merging with the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). With research expenditures approaching $470 million annually, the unified institution is set to become the third-largest research university in Texas.

Getinge’s products and solutions are sold in over 135 countries, supporting hospitals and life science institutions with technologies aimed at improving clinical outcomes and optimizing workflows.

In August, Getinge announced plans to acquire Paragonix Technologies, a leader in organ transport products and services, for approximately $477 million. The acquisition allowed the Sweden-based company to enter the growing organ preservation and transportation market, complementing its existing offerings in acute heart and lung support.
