Revolutionizing Hand Surgery with the Medi-X PHOENIX 3000: Integration, Efficiency, and Safety
The Medi-X PHOENIX 3000 revolutionizes hand surgery tables by integrating an X-ray-based imaging system, enhancing functionality while streamlining the surgical process. Positioned above the operating field, a support arm houses the X-ray source, with the corresponding image receptor seamlessly incorporated into the tabletop, where the patient's arm rests during the procedure. The motor-driven generator/detector assembly ensures precise alignment with the imaging object, facilitated by a laser targeting device.
This innovative system prioritizes patient safety with increased radiation protection, featuring an integrated copper pre-filter that reduces skin doses by up to 30%. Coupled with an optimized software algorithm, the PHOENIX 3000 consistently delivers brilliant image quality, meeting stringent pediatric application standards.
Setup is simplified with a one-time installation of the imaging/surgery table prior to the intervention, remaining in place throughout the procedure. Its flexible orientation allows adaptation to the patient's arm length and the specific task at hand, whether placed alongside the patient positioning table with its column end or open end.
Surgeons benefit from an ideal working position with motorized vertical adjustment controlled by easily accessible buttons on both sides of the tabletop. This feature enables quick and effortless height adjustments to ensure maximum comfort during surgery.
Enhancing the surgical environment, two LED strips mounted at the bottom of the generator support arm provide convenient workplace lighting, aiding the operating room team during patient preparation. Additionally, sterile covers, including made-to-measure options for the support arm, maintain aseptic conditions and compatibility with existing hospital supplies.
The Medi-X PHOENIX 3000 offers quick familiarization through its intuitive user interface and strategically placed controls, enabling operators to swiftly become acquainted with the system's functionality. With precise alignment of the field of view (FOV) to the region of interest (ROI) using a laser targeting device, repositioning of the fluoroscopic field is unnecessary, saving time and eliminating additional radiation exposure prior to interventions.
Foot-controlled operation enhances surgical efficiency by keeping the surgeon's hands free during procedures. The multifunctional foot control allows for seamless control of various operating functions, including image and film sequence acquisition, manipulation of the generator support arm, and data management, optimizing workflow and minimizing disruptions.
Drilling under fluoroscopic guidance is facilitated by a vertical free space double the size of conventional setups, offering a comfortable environment for surgical work. Real-time visual feedback on the drill path during fluoroscopy ensures precise positioning, while folding back the generator support arm provides additional space for the operating room team.
The PHOENIX 3000 ensures comprehensive documentation through its high-resolution 27" dual-image flatscreen, displaying enlarged fluoroscopic images and film sequences. Users can also save external live views of interventions, including full-color single frames or entire movies, captured by the integrated video camera. Furthermore, the system's built-in USB interface allows for easy export of image data in TIF or AVI format to external storage devices for viewing and post-processing on any computer.
Efficient patient and image data management is facilitated by the system's large internal hard disk and organized database, enabling rapid and convenient retrieval of stored information as needed, enhancing overall workflow efficiency and documentation accuracy.
For the surgeon, the Medi-X PHOENIX 3000 provides ample working space, ensuring comfort and ease of movement during procedures. With generous space available, surgeons can focus on their tasks without feeling cramped or restricted, enhancing their overall surgical experience.
Quality assurance and improvement are facilitated by the system's various control views, including the sky view, which offers different perspectives for enhanced visualization and accuracy during interventions. These views contribute to improved surgical outcomes by providing comprehensive monitoring and control over the procedure.
Surgery work becomes more relaxed and workflow smoother with the PHOENIX 3000, thanks to its user-friendly design and efficient operation. Surgeons can navigate the system seamlessly, performing tasks with confidence and precision, thereby optimizing efficiency and patient care.
Legally watertight documentation is ensured with the PHOENIX 3000, providing comprehensive records of each intervention in compliance with legal requirements and standards. The system's robust documentation capabilities offer peace of mind to both surgeons and healthcare facilities, ensuring accuracy and accountability.
Preservation of sterility is enhanced as there is no longer a need to move around a separate imaging unit during procedures. With the integrated imaging system of the PHOENIX 3000, sterility can be maintained throughout the surgical environment, reducing the risk of contamination and infection.
Furthermore, the PHOENIX 3000 boasts perfectly matched, sturdy components, ensuring durability and reliability during surgical interventions. Surgeons can rely on the system's high-quality construction and components, providing confidence and support throughout the surgical process.
