We have the pleasure to inform you that our Medical Technology Division has completed the installation of a sciascopic-skiagraphic device at the Radio diagnostic department at the Vsetín Hospital.
This unique reclining wall- Opera SWING from the Italian manufacturer General Medical Merate S.P.A. is so versatile that it can serve both for sciascopic and sciagraphic examinations. Apart from other unique features this device excels in its special design and great variability of fully automatic movements.
We believe that the device will serve well to both the patients and the staff and thus contribute to the smooth running of the whole department.

From 7th to 9th November 2019 our division participated in the international summit organized by the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, focused on mechanical heart support. This important summit took place for the first time in the Czech Republic and was held at the Hilton Old Town Hotel in Prague.
Our division presented short-term micro axillary intracardiac catheter cardiac support Impella in versions 5.0, CP and RP, as well as long-term mechanical cardiac support – JARVIK 2000.
In cooperation with JARVIK, the heart support manufacturer, we also introduced the unique concept of wireless recharge of long-term mechanical heart support JARVIK 2000, the only one in the world presented by JARVIK in cooperation with Leviticus.
It is a fully implantable mechanical heart support, which has its own battery implanted in the patient’s body and is recharged wirelessly using a “special vest – belt” that the patient will wear when needed. Once the battery is charged, the patient no longer needs to carry any components other than the watch that monitors the battery and cardiac support status.
During the summit there were also several meetings held, namely with Abiomed and JARVIK.
This international summit was a great success and the products we exhibited were of great interest to doctors as well as to representatives of various companies.
