The Thulio is built around a powerful 100 W pulsed Thulium:YAG laser system, engineered to deliver high energy with remarkable stability and precision. Its RealPulse® technology ensures efficient energy delivery and excellent performance across a wide range of applications. From delicate stone dusting to high-energy fragmentation and anatomical prostate enucleation, the Thulio gives clinicians the control, flexibility, and power they need for efficient and predictable outcomes.

For kidney stone management, the Thulio excels in both dusting and fragmenting techniques. Its fine-tuned energy settings allow stones to be reduced to dust-like particles with speed and efficiency, while specialised fragmentation modes provide the power required for harder or larger calculi. Captive fragmentation helps to significantly reduce retropulsion, an advantage that improves procedural efficiency and surgeon control. Urologists benefit from being able to switch seamlessly between modes during a procedure, maintaining a smooth surgical workflow.

The Thulio is equally impressive in BPH surgery. With its dedicated enucleation mode, surgeons can perform precise and controlled prostate enucleation supported by excellent coagulation. The Thulium:YAG wavelength’s natural affinity for water-rich tissue results in cleaner cutting and enhanced haemostasis, helping to deliver clarity and confidence throughout the procedure.

While its clinical performance is a standout, the Thulio is also designed for practicality in the operating room. It delivers high power from a surprisingly compact footprint, operates quietly, and runs from a standard power socket — making integration into an existing theatre environment straightforward. A large, rotatable touchscreen and intuitive interface reduce setup time and simplify use, while flexible fibre options give clinicians greater freedom in adapting the device to different procedures.

By choosing the Dornier Thulio through HSL, healthcare providers gain far more than a high-performance laser. Our team manages the full installation process to ensure seamless integration with your clinical environment. We provide comprehensive in-person training for surgeons, nurses, and technical teams, ensuring everyone is confident in using the Thulio’s full range of modes and settings. Beyond installation, HSL delivers ongoing support, from routine servicing and calibration to clinical guidance and operational advice, giving your team the reassurance of a trusted, long-term partner.

The Dornier Thulio represents a new benchmark for multi-application laser technology in urology, combining stone lithotripsy, soft-tissue surgery, and prostate enucleation in one expertly engineered system. With HSL’s installation, training, and ongoing support, your team can deploy the Dornier Thulio with total confidence, knowing you are backed by specialists committed to clinical excellence and long-term reliability.

• Hologic Horizon W
• Shimadzu Radspeed Fit

Key benefits:

• Early Detection and prevention
• Accurate Diagnosis
• Efficiency and Rapid results
• Improved Patient Services

Context

One of the hallmark features of the new health hub is the introduction of the DEXA Scanning & X-ray Service, marking a regional first for Newry. Dexa, a bone density scanner, plays a pivotal role in identifying and assessing the risk of osteoporosis, thereby enabling early intervention to prevent fractures. This service is particularly pertinent for demographics such as smokers, individuals over 50 years old, and postmenopausal women, where osteoporosis risk is heightened.

Challenge

Finding a single supplier who could provide both the DEXA and floor-mounted X-Ray systems for the trust, made more difficult by the constraint of converting an existing building, which imposed limitations on the size of the equipment. It was crucial for the equipment to fit within the available space and still be fully functional after installation.

The compact footprint of the Radspeed fit system proved to be highly advantageous. Its small size made it an ideal fit for the limited space available, overcoming the size constraint while ensuring that the trust’s imaging needs were met effectively.

Solution

HSL has introduced advanced diagnostic services, including Dexa Scanning for osteoporosis risk assessment and X-ray imaging, in the new healthcare facility in Newry City. The solution prioritizes patient education and engagement, empowering individuals to take proactive steps towards their health.

Results

“As the proprietor of Mourne Scan Clinic, collaborating with HSL on our patient-centric facility was truly gratifying. Our cutting-edge X-ray and Dexa systems, equipped with advanced AI-supported software, redefine the patient experience. Referrals are required for both services, yet our ‘one-stop’ approach ensures seamless resolution for those without. Offering same-day appointments alongside our unique walk-in service, we streamline the process. For Dexa, referral, approval, and scan are all managed upon arrival, with radiology reports available within 5 days. Similarly, for X-ray, the entire process is expedited, with reports ready within 1 hour. We handle the logistics while our patients unwind in our newly renovated healthcare haven.” Lisa Hughes Owner of Mourne Scan Clinic.

Fully customized Pulse solution powered by Pexip

Key benefits:

• Improved patient care
• Extended reach of access to health services to rural communities
• Cost saving by reducing the need for travel, hospital visits and emergency admissions
• Simple and easy to use platform

Context

The cark Clinic at Belfast Children’s Hospital is a paediatric cardiology unit that provides care for babies and children with congenital heart defects. since 2007 the clinic has been using video conferencing technology to monitor and support its patients at home, reducing the need for hospital visits and improving their quality of life. The video conferencing service, powered by HSL’s pulse platform, is now available to all of the NHS trusts across Northern Ireland, thanks to the collaboration between HSL, the e-health and core ICT service in the HSC Board, and the Children’s Heartbeat Trust.

Challenge

Several challenges such as long waiting lists, staff shortages, Covid-19 pandemic, and geographical barriers. These factors affected the quality and equity of care for the patients and their families, who often had to wait, travel long distances, or risk infection to access the services they needed. The trust needed a solution that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the health and social care system, and address the needs and preferences of the patients and their families.

Solution

The solution was to use videoconferencing technology to connect the Clark Clinic at Belfast Children’s Hospital with its patients and their families at home. The videoconferencing service, called Pulse, was developed by HSL, in collaboration with the e-Health and core ICT service in the HSC Board. Pulse allowed the clinic to monitor the health of babies and children with congenital heart defects, provide remote consultations and support, and reduce the need for hospital visits and admissions. The solution was especially helpful during the Covid-19 pandemic, when travel and contact were restricted and the risk of infection was high. The solution improved the quality of life and well-being of the patients and their families, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of the health care providers.

Results

Dr Brian McCrossan, Paediatric Cardiologist at Clark Clinic said, “Since its introduction in 2007, there have been incremental improvements in the video conferencing technology. As the platform has advanced, it has significantly improved the timeliness and ease of connecting with patients and the paediatric cardiology team. It is extremely reliable and easy to access. We are also reassured by the security of the platform compared to social media type platforms. “Telehealth has played a vital role during the Coronavirus pandemic as it has enabled our team to conduct a number of urgent video-consultations for patients at home which have obviated the need for them to come to the emergency department. Parental anxiety has been more heightened than usual due to the pandemic, therefore we have found that supporting families at home with regular video-consultations has helped to reduce stress, reduce health service utilisation and is much appreciated by parents and clinicians alike.”
