The Accu-SPINA is one of over
7,000 medical instruments in this
historic museum which overlooks
Lake Michigan in Chicago, IL.
The museum was opened in 1954
and is a division of the International
College of Surgeons.
The building is listed in the
National Register, Illinois Register
of Historic Places, and is a City
of Chicago landmark. It is the
only Gold Coast mansion open to
the public. Original interior
finishes of marble and cut stone,
decorative plaster work metal
fixtures and hardware, eight fireplaces,
and a gilded metal grand staircase
are among the features which have
been preserved.
North American Medical Corporation
feels privileged to have been
chosen to be part of the permanent
exhibit entitled: The Universal
Condition: Enduring and Alleviating
Pain. The museum provides education
on pioneering and innovative medical
devices and has welcomed thousands
of medical professionals from
around the world.
After hearing about the addition
of the Accu-SPINA® to the museum,
Leon Brooks, MD of Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center in Los Angeles,
CA stated “This system will revolutionize
the management of pain emanating
from the spine. The non-surgical
neurological spine rejuvenation
program will not only reduce the
need for back surgery, but will
also help to reduce the high costs
to industry and the American people
in general”.
Other notable medical items include
a 16th century Australian amputation
saw with reversible blade, The
Lindbergh perfusion pump (enabled
physicians to keep organs functioning
outside of the body), 19th century
apothecary shop, heart valves,
and an iron lung. |
