the sterile field. That increased
maneuverability helps you posi-
tion the image detectors at opti-
mal angles around the patient to
capture high-quality images of tar-
geted anatomy.
C-arms are complex machines
with a lot of moving parts, so be
sure the manufacturer of the unit
you purchase includes a compre-
hensive annual service contract.
And know what you're buying
before making an investment.
Most vendors will provide you
with the C-arm you're consider-
ing for a one-week trial, while
some will extend the trial period
to a month. It's important to get
feedback from as many surgeons
as possible during the trial peri-
od, because they're the ones who
ultimately want access to high-
quality intraoperative images so
they can perform safer and more
effective procedures with added
confidence.
