Union City, CA (June 27, 2007) - San Javier Hospital of Guadalajara, part of Ingenieria y Sistemas Electromedicos, S.A de C.V, has taken delivery of a Jackson Spinal Table, one of the premier surgical tables from the unique Modular Table System offered by Mizuho OSI.

One of four modular surgical table tops that fit onto a single table base, the Jackson Spinal Table is preferred by surgeons because of its advanced technology for patient positioning during spinal surgery. Alison JF Martin, Strategic Business Unit Manager for Specialty Surgical Tables for Mizuho OSI states: "The Jackson Table is a surgeon's table of choice because of its patient positioning advantages, but in addition, the table allows complete radiolucency and unrestricted C-Arm integration intraoperatively."

“We are pleased to be a part of Mexico's healthcare initiatives as our global presence continues to grow", said R. Mark Lane, Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing. Over 4,000 Jackson Tables are currently in use in North America.
