A Surgical Display Befitting the Digital OR
Looking for a surgical display for your modern digital
operating room? Consider Barco's MDSC-2226, a 26inch high-brightness monitor with a native full-HD resolution LCD panel that the company says provides surgeons with excellent depth perception and precise
color or grayscale images. The MDSC-2226 features
an LED backlight, an optional decoder to stream
uncompressed video over IP, splash-proof housing
with a protective screen cover, and a smart cable
management system for clutter-free setup. Barco says
the 22-pound display is easy to mount onto surgical
booms and spring arms.

Preventing Patient Burns Is a Snap
Exposed surgical light cables can generate temperatures
up to 450°F at their distal ends
(which are closest to the patient),
potentially causing a skin burn or
OR fire in less than 10 seconds.
Now there's a product to prevent
these catastrophic events.
SensorMed's CableCap acts as a
plug for the end of activated light
cables during surgical procedures.
CableCap diffuses the energy generated by the cables, making them
cool to human touch and preventing burn and fire risk. The
translucent plug is inserted into the distal end of the light
cables whenever they're unattached to the scope.
