Hospira HiCap

Open-heart surgery is a specialized procedure and post-surgery transport was a problem no one was solving. Patients have multiple feeding, hydration, and medication infusion lines. You have a hard time squeezing four IV poles, a patient bed and a transport team into a crowded elevator.

With HiCap, we freed up surgical capacity and reduced transport times by 60%. We found a way for one person do the work of four and we found a way to make the road to recovery faster and safer.
