videos with a simple voice
command."
4. Video integration.
You can capture and manage
video and images at the touch
of a button. Surgeons can
annotate the images and
videos so they can show the
family the procedure on a
tablet.
5. Automated fluid
pumps.
Arthroscopic visual-
ization depends on a steady
inflow and outflow of irriga-
tion into the joint space.
Automatic pumps provide and
maintain a constant positive
pressure by sensing pressure
changes throughout a case —
such as when a burr is activated or if the surgeon begins using the
shaver handpiece — and adjusting the fluid flow accordingly for opti-
mal suction and clarity.
"Pumps today give you instantaneous feedback and have on-demand
capabilities so you don't get those lulls in pressure," says Dr. Kelly.
6. True 4K.
Besides giving surgeons more life-like representations
of tissue and anatomy, true 4K from scope to monitor lets surgeons
work with clearer, crisper images and magnify images without losing

heads must all be 4K for your arthroscopic surgeons to get the clear-
