Black Diamond Video (BDV) on Wednesday announced  the release of Pre-Op Serenity™, an integrated solution that promotes surgical patient relaxation through calming audio and video.

Black Diamond Video’s Pre-Op Serenity is a new feature of the company’s Integrated Digital Surgical Suite (IDSS), an all-digital video routing and display solution for operating rooms. With Pre-Op Serenity, clinicians can play movies, calming nature videos, and other media on high-definition displays mounted within the OR. Pre-Op Serenity calms nervous patients and provides them a welcome distraction during surgical preparation.

“Black Diamond Video tailors each of its products and features to address key issues in today’s ORs,” said Edward Priest, Founder and CEO of Black Diamond Video. “We developed Pre-Op Serenity to help relax patients before their procedures, a need we have identified for all surgical specialties but particularly in pediatrics.”

Black Diamond Video’s Pre-Op Serenity feature is easily triggered by surgical staff through the touch of a button but can also be configured to start automatically as a patient is wheeled into the OR. Integrated Digital Surgical Suites equipped with Pre-Op Serenity have been well received by medical institutions seeking a simple-to-use video integration system to support the delivery of exceptional patient care.
