REHABILITATION CLINIC

A MODERN REHABILITATION FACILITY ESTABLISHED BY THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH. ONE OF THE OLDEST REHABILITATION CLINIC FACILITIES IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC.

Janské Lázně Spa has a long-standing reputation as one of the best rehabilitation facilities in the Czech Republic. It is also an ideal starting point for sports and recreational activities in the Krkonoše Mountains.

The natural healing resources are the thermal mineral water of the hydrocarbonate-lime-sodium type, springing up in the spa area, and the local foothill climate

The medical spa focuses on physiotherapy and the treatment of the disorders of the musculoskeletal system resulting from diseases of the brain, disc, spine or accidents (hemiplegia in the lower body or on one side of the body or complete paralysis), diseases of the muscular and nervous system, including muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, various sclerosis and effects of strokes. In addition to this, the effects of malignant tumours on the body are also treated as are problems with joints, rheumatism, joint stiffness, muscle weakness, gait impairment and balance.

The spa also treats respiratory diseases such as asthma and allergies and cases after respiratory surgery. It also offers tailored programs for weight reduction.

The Children’s Sanatorium is one of the largest and most modern facilities of its kind in the Czech Republic. It continues a long tradition of treating cerebral palsy, especially in children. It

specializes in the treatment of children from 6 months and adolescents up to 18 years of age with nervous disorders including muscular dystrophy and cerebral palsy, as well as in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and conditions after injuries and orthopedic surgeries. Among other things, we also treat metabolic disorders and endocrine problems, including obesity, as well as respiratory diseases.

INDIVIDUAL PHYSIOTHERAPY

Individual physiotherapy is the key to effective treatment; the therapist accurately diagnoses the patient’s condition, then designs and adjusts the treatment plan according to the patient’s

ELECTROACUPUNCTURE

It combines traditional acupuncture, an official medical method in the Czech Republic, with the current knowledge of physical treatment. The doctor inserts acupuncture needles and then uses the device to deliver an electric current to the needles.

In Janské Lázně, patients with complete severing of the spinal cord have been able to regain movement, and a unique treatment of paralysis using electroacupuncture has been helping patients for several years. The author of the AC-TIVE ENF treatment method is Peter Olšák, a rehabilitation physician who has treated more than 700 patients, including some with complete spinal cord severance. The method was created by combining medi-

needs and abilities. This personalized approach allows the therapist to work with individual limits, provide immediate feedback and correct exercise techniques, maximizing the effectiveness of the therapy and preventing potential complications.

PHYSICAL THERAPY

SUPER INDUCTIVE SYSTEM (SIS) consists of an intense electromagnetic field that has positive therapeutic effects on human tissue. The main therapeutic effects include pain relief, promotion of fracture healing, muscle relaxation, muscle stimulation and joint mobilization.

ERGOTHERAPY

Combines physical and mental training, helping to increase muscle strength, improve coordination and develop cognitive function.

SNOEZELEN

A specially adapted room with light and sound for children with developmental, mental and physical disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, behavioural and learning disorders, and post-traumatic brain injury.

cal acupuncture and knowledge of physical medicine.

Olšák led a team of scientists from Palacký University in Olomouc who won the Transfera Technology Day 2023 competition with innovative needles for electroacupuncture applications.

ESSENZA 300

Become a designer of a hospital bed

Patient comfort and well-being are getting more important within hospital care. The design of the room and the entire design concept can play a significant role in recovery.

Original Design

The Essenza 300 bed enables the integration of advanced medical beds into a unique hospital room concept due to SMART LINK technology. Thanks to SMART LINK you create the original design of bed ends and side rails.

Customized Solutions

Thanks to the unique technologies in LINET production can adapt the bed to your needs. We are ready to integrate colors and graphic motifs such as logos, photos, or other graphic elements.

Jitka Stranska Managing Director of LINET MEA

“The fusion of hospital care and hotel services is increasingly evident. Prestigious hospitals not only pay attention to high-level medical standards but also to other aspects of hospitality, including, among others, top-quality interior design. We are delighted that our beds are once again bringing a new element: personalized room customization. Thanks to special technology, our new Essenza 300 bed offers a completely individual design to match the room concept or create pleasant healing environment.”

INSIGHTERS® VIDEO LARYNGOSCOPE

*Not all airways are created equal.* Up to 8.5% of patients can experience difficulty getting a breathing tube in place during regular laryngoscopy. In rare cases )about 1 in 2,000(, it might even fail completely. The good news? Video laryngoscopes, like Insighters® device, can help doctors see the airway better. This can lead to smoother intubation, less damage to the airway, and fewer failed attempts.

Here's what makes Insighters® so versatile: It has a high-resolution camera for a crystal-

clear and precise view of the airway, singleuse blades in various sizes to fit different patients, and a compact, portable design for use anywhere in any clinical setting.

Moreover, it seamlessly connects to various monitors, from large screens to tablets, allowing for easy sharing and recording to improve teamwork and training through realtime high resolution image and video sharing; and therefore achieve optimal intubation efficiency and success.

NEW IMAGING HORIZONS.

Featuring a large gantry aperture, the NewTom 7G is the most advanced CBCT device on the market. From in-depth detail to the big picture.

ULTRA-DETAILED MULTI-DIAGNOSTICS

Localised analysis over the entire body. Ray2D and 3D imaging up to 90 µm, also with radiocontrast agent. Artifact reduction and movement analysis using CineX and Cine-Scout. The eXtra Functions protocol extends the field of view longitudinally to analyse anatomical structures such as the spine and limbs.

TECHNOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE

High power generator (120 kV – 20kW). High-sensitivity 3D panel and innovative algorithms for volumetric reconstruction. 77 cm gantry aperture.

ERGONOMICS AND PRACTICALITY

‘We know that tissue samples cannot be taken regularly, but liquid biopsy is easy to take, it is simply a sample of blood. And it gives you real-time information.’

‘Even low levels of ctDNA could have given an indication of the coming progression in the follow-up.’

‘There is much more diagnostic power in the absolute quantification.’
