HD1200: an HD Camera Designed for Sterility, Compatibility and Performance
Smith+Nephew's HD1200 autoclavable camera system stands out for its ability to meet the rigorous demands of modern operating environments while delivering consistent high-definition image quality. Designed to improve surgical workflow, it combines tri-CCD video capture technology with a compact design and broad compatibility with existing equipment in the brand's HD range.
One of the key features of the HD1200 is its autoclavable camera head, which allows for a rapid steam sterilisation cycle of just 4 minutes at 134°C. This rapid reconditioning time is a significant advantage for facilities looking to optimise the time between procedures by reducing reliance on lengthy and restrictive chemical sterilisation. The control unit offers several output options (1080i, 1080p or 1200p), ensuring seamless compatibility with the most common surgical monitors.
With its 1/3" 3CCD design and standard C-mount thread, the HD1200 integrates easily with existing Smith+Nephew optics, while ensuring accurate colour reproduction and a signal-to-noise ratio of over 60 dB. Image accuracy is enhanced by adjustment options that can be controlled directly from the camera head via two programmable buttons, allowing surgeons to adjust the image without interrupting their procedure.
In terms of ergonomics, the control box is compact and lightweight, while the camera head weighs less than 100 g and has a 3.65 m cable for easy handling during surgery. The system also complies with Class 1, Type CF electrical safety standards, ensuring safe use in hospital environments.
The HD1200 is therefore a complete solution for operating theatres looking for high-definition image reproduction, optimal compatibility with their existing equipment and rapid sterilisation, all in a reliable and durable format.
