BILCO Roof Hatch Paves Way For Delivery of Important Medical Device
A unique piece of medical equipment, a Gamma Knife, was installed at the Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans. It is used to help fight brain cancer and there are only approximately 300 in use around the world. The device was lowered into the building by cranes through a custom 12-foot x 9-foot BILCO Type D roof hatch.The hatch allows for workers to install Cobalt-60, a radiation source which is used in the Gamma Knife and a portion of which must be replaced about every 5 years.
