Unlimited imaging flexibility
New, complex interventions require the utmost imaging flexibility to visualize critical anatomy and identify pathological changes during procedures. FlexArm rotates on no less than eight axes to create virtually unlimited flexibility to perform imaging from head to toe on the left and right side for both 2D and 3D visualizations. The image beam remains aligned with the patient, allowing better anatomic visualization during rotations.
Full staff positioning freedom
The FlexArm positioning flexibility frees up medical teams to choose the best working position. The C-arm 270° range of movement allows all imaging positions to be reached without hampering optimal team positioning and without the need to move the patient table. This avoids disturbing equipment and instruments, and keeps the anesthesia zone free. All 3D navigation tools can be used from seven positions around the table to support optimal staff positioning and patient access.
Improved radial access workflow
To enhance physician comfort and patient access, during radial access cases the FlexArm C-arm can provide off-center imaging along both sides of the table up to 118 cm on both sides. This allows physicians to perform radial access cases on the left or right arm, fully or partially extended, without moving the patient or pivoting the table.
The next leap in lab integration
New challenges in minimally invasive care call for new strategies. Philips Azurion with FlexArm extends the RGK range of Azurion Image Guided Theraphy solutions. It offers a platform for innovation to help healthcare providers break new ground in superior care, efficient lab performance and an outstanding user experience.
