The pitch:
Standard-shaped blades, a wide 160° view, adaptable to flex-
ible or rigid fiber-optic use.
Dr. Sinha:
The big screen (7 inches) is a big advantage for visibility and
instruction. You see the tip of the blade at the top of the screen, which
can help you orient yourself better. It's a wired monitor, though, and
wires can be unwieldy in the OR.
Dr. Rosen:
The more pieces there are, the more you have to put togeth-
er. A separate monitor is a separate component to turn on, to not
work, to break down or to fall on the floor. I've often said, if you have
to hook three or more things together, after a month 1 piece will be
missing and you'll have interesting, expensive paperweights.
