Philips Healthcare announced that clinicians can now operate the company's Zenition mobile C-arm inside the sterile field during interventional procedures and that the C-arm allows for the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for peripheral vascular procedures.
By integrating the company's tableside user interface with Zenition, clinicians are able to control the C-arm on a tablet-like display directly at the surgical table. The 12.1-inch display can be positioned at various angles and may serve as a viewing monitor on the patient table, Philips said.
