You want a system that patients. There is more space for the surgeon to work works simply and smoothly. Designed with around patients. It is also easier to position the C-arm, even for difficult projections. You have more freedom orthopedic surgeons, the Veradius Neo helps to maneuver and reposition your instruments. you to get excellent results with less effort. Easy positioning The C-arc is color-coded to provide clear visual aids about system movements to simplify communication between team members. Quickly position the system with less effort with the smooth movement of the C-arc. Color coding on the C-arm can simplify communication between the surgical team members Distortion-free Flat Detector imaging Visualize complex bone structures and place screws with high precision, guided by the undistorted, high contrast images that our advanced Flat Detector imaging can provide. Seamless integration Streamline workflow by integrating your C-arm system in the OR environment with video in and out and a wireless connection to your hospital network. External video signals, like an endoscope or ultrasound sequence, can be displayed on the Mobile View Station. Veradius Neo images can be digitally transferred to OR monitors without loss of quality. With the option of wireless networking, you can send and retrieve images from your PACS and reduce the cable clutter in your OR. An extra pair of eyes The extra monitor on the C-arc stand helps the operator to maintain visual control without compromising the surgeon’s view of the Mobile Viewing Station. 5 452296284271.indd 5 5/25/2012 4:21:49 PM Excellence in cardiovascular imaging Minimally invasive procedures, such as endovascular repairs, are performed using ever smaller and more complex stents and other devices. The Veradius Neo is designed to meet these new challenges, providing distortion-free, high contrast imaging to support cardiovascular image guided interventions.
