SHIL have been successful in CE marking the Illuminated Retractor, a revolutionary device that allows excellent illumination on surgical cavities. The retractor is a disposable surgical instrument that eliminates the problem of 'shadowing' caused by over head light sources. .Protected by patent, the retractor is about to go trials in the hands of surgeons, providing them with a solution to an age old problem.

SHIL are delighted to announce that Mr Alex Neil MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Health and Wellbeing, has been confirmed as the keynote speaker at the 8th Technology Showcase.

The event takes place on the 23rd May 2013 at the Stirling Innovation Park and promises to be an extremely interesting day.

The Scottish Government Publication “Health and Wealth in Scotland: a Statement of Intent for Innovation and Health” has a vision of Scotland as a “world leading centre for innovation in health through partnership, working between Government, NHS SCOTLAND, industry and the research community”. This recognises that exciting new patient care technology can begin in many places: with front line healthcare staff, academic researchers or industry. The current healthcare market is undergoing a paradigm change. This event will focus on the changes in patient care, and also provide practical assistance in developing and commercialising innovative technologies, including access to finance.
