Philips01.27.20
Philips revealed two major additions to its Zenition mobile C-arm platform that will be featured at LINC 2020 (Leipzig, Germany, 28-31 January). With the new Table Side User Interface, the C-arm can be used inside the sterile field, reducing communication burden with the operator and making it more intuitive to control the system. In addition, the Zenition platform has been extended to integrate intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for peripheral vascular procedures.
The scope and complexity of surgical interventions—especially in image-guided minimally invasive surgery—continues to increase, as does the number of patients requiring treatment. Mobile C-arms are X-ray systems brought into the OR to provide live image guidance during a wide range of surgeries including orthopedic, trauma, and vascular procedures. The Zenition mobile C-arm platform brings together innovations in image capture, image processing, ease-of-use and versatility pioneered on Philips’ highly successful Azurion platform.
By integrating the Table Side User Interface with the Zenition system directly at the table, the clinician can control the system through its tablet-like user interface. With a large 12.1” display the Table Side User Interface can be positioned at a range of angles and can also serve as a viewing monitor on the patient table.
Used in combination with the Zenition, IVUS is a catheter-based imaging technology that allows visualization of blood vessels from the inside out, aiding treatment of peripheral vascular and coronary patients. By evaluating vascular morphology in blood vessels and providing cross-sectional imaging of these vessels, IVUS appropriately sizes stents and confirms the completeness of treatment. The imaging output from IVUS, including measurement and replay features, can now be viewed and controlled from the Zenition.
The Philips Zenition platform is designed for the future, allowing for longer clinical relevance. With two different detector and image intensifier options and the ability to subscribe to Philips’ Technology Maximizer program, Zenition offers users the latest software and hardware technology releases for a fraction of the cost of purchasing them individually.
The Philips Zenition C-arm is CE marked and commercially available in the U.S. The new innovations will be available in Q2 2020, with the Table Side User Interface available on the Zenition 70 and IVUS integration available across the Zenition portfolio.
