Engineering that responds to changing needs
The C-arm imaging system is a familiar instrument
for vascular surgeons in open surgery, highly valued
to guide the surgical act.
For endovascular interventions in the Hybrid OR
setting, a mobile C-arm becomes a valuable tool
for intraoperative imaging.
Multiple viewing modes are important when guiding catheters through an often
difficult vascular access route for device introduction and delivery to the target
site. The quality of imaging becomes a critical factor for verifying the position of
the endograft and its successful deployment. High end imaging capabilities also
assure an immediate postoperative evaluation of the repair to identify device
failures, detect endoleaks and assess changes in aneurysm morphology.
The OEC* 9900 Elite C-arm has been engineered to meet these requirements
in close collaboration with innovative surgeons, creating a powerful mobile
alternative for hybrid procedures. Latest generation capabilities include a
motorization of C-arm movement combined with a joystick control and a
pedal foot switch with easy access to imaging modes including fluoroscopy,
subtracted fluoroscopy, high level fluoroscopy and road mapping.
Intuitive, fingertip control on
a tableside panel leaves a
surgeon’s hands free for the
procedure and keeps the focus
on the patient unencumbered
by managing technology.
