FYI: This 4K camera system,
intended for procedures like
arthroscopy, laparoscopy, urolo-
gy, gynecology, colorectal and
ENT, adds a big enhancement to
4K images — fluorescence,
which enhances real-time imag-
ing of perfusion, blood flow and
biliary anatomy through con-
trasting colors. Another interest-
ing feature is proprietary auto-
light technology, which automati-
cally corrects poor lighting in dif-
ficult-to-see posterior compart-
ments and self-adjusts based on
anatomy, like the back of the
knee or bottom of the shoulder.
Every mode and setting is con-
trollable via buttons on the cam-
era head. The comprehensive imaging system includes the camera
heads and control unit, a compact OR cart, a printer and even an
insufflator for inflow/outflow management with heated, humidified,
and smoke evacuation. The camera system integrates with Stryker's
Connected OR Hub software for capturing, recording, streaming and
printing images, and is customizable for surgeon preferences.
