We are pleased to share that Maple Hope Foundation has secured and successfully delivered a donation of 30 MOVES® SLC™ systems to aid in the treatment of critically injured patients in Ukraine. This cutting-edge technology will be used by surgeons, anesthesiologists, and forward medical personnel for casualty and patient care, transport of patients by land and air, and in other critical care environments.
Developed by Thornhill Medical, MOVES® SLC™ is the world’s only micro-integrated life support system that allows doctors and first responders to provide care in the most challenging conditions. The portable, battery-operated system is both lightweight and rugged, and combines an oxygen concentrator, a unique O2-conserving ventilator, suction, and complete patient monitoring into a single, compact system. These innovative systems were donated to Maple Hope Foundation by the Government of Canada.
