Mobile C-arms for Orthopedics | Philips Healthcare

Philips Healthcare's Mobile C-arms are advanced imaging systems designed specifically to support orthopedic procedures by providing high-quality, real-time imaging in operating rooms and surgical settings. These mobile systems are designed to be compact, versatile, and easy to maneuver, offering orthopedic surgeons the flexibility to perform imaging directly at the point of care during complex procedures such as joint replacements, fracture repairs, and spine surgeries. The systems combine fluoroscopy with digital imaging to provide clear, detailed images while minimizing radiation exposure.

Key Features:

  1. High-Resolution Imaging: Philips Mobile C-arms deliver superior image clarity in real-time, ensuring accurate visualization of bone structures and joints, crucial for successful orthopedic surgeries.

  2. Advanced Fluoroscopy: The systems use advanced fluoroscopic imaging that allows surgeons to visualize the surgical area continuously, offering live X-ray imaging during procedures for more precise guidance.

  3. Low Radiation Dose: With low-dose radiation technology, Philips Mobile C-arms provide high-quality images while minimizing radiation exposure for both patients and healthcare providers.

  4. User-Friendly Interface: The systems feature an intuitive touchscreen interface that allows for easy control and navigation, making them accessible even for surgeons with limited radiographic experience.

  5. Compact & Mobile Design: Designed for mobility, Philips Mobile C-arms are lightweight and easy to move within the operating room or from room to room, offering flexibility in different healthcare environments.

  6. Advanced Digital Imaging: Equipped with digital detectors, these systems offer instant access to images, reducing the need for film and improving workflow efficiency.

  7. Enhanced Workflow Efficiency: The systems’ automated positioning and image processing features reduce the need for manual adjustments, helping surgeons focus more on the procedure itself.

  8. Wide Range of Imaging Options: Philips Mobile C-arms provide multi-angle imaging, 3D visualization, and multi-frame imaging for enhanced diagnostics and precision in orthopedic surgeries.

Applications:

  1. Orthopedic Surgery: Perfect for spinal surgeries, joint replacement procedures, fracture repairs, and other musculoskeletal procedures, providing continuous imaging for accurate surgical guidance.

  2. Trauma and Emergency Care: Used in trauma cases for rapid imaging of fractures, dislocations, and other injuries, enabling immediate treatment decisions.

  3. Minimally Invasive Surgery: Ideal for minimally invasive orthopedic procedures, such as arthroscopy, where clear imaging is essential for guiding small incisions and instruments.

  4. Pediatric Orthopedics: Suitable for pediatric cases where reduced radiation exposure and the ability to perform quick, accurate imaging are critical.

  5. Spine Surgery: Used extensively in spinal surgeries, including spinal fusion and decompression surgeries, to guide the surgeon in real-time and verify the placement of implants.

  6. Sports Medicine: Employed in sports-related injuries, particularly for imaging fractures, joint misalignments, and ligament injuries.
