1688 4K Pendulum Camera Head
Description
The Stryker 1688 AIM 4K camera system features the 1688 4K Pendulum Camera Head, which is specifically optimized for urology procedures. It is the lightest camera head in the 1688 portfolio and includes specialized ergonomics to handle the unique angles required in urological surgery.
Urology-Specific Features
- Pendulum Design: Features a 90° angle between the camera head and the scope, allowing for easier access and maneuverability during urological procedures.
- Automatic Image Flip: The system automatically detects the camera head’s orientation and rotates the image to maintain the correct view for the surgeon.
- Lightest Profile: Designed to be the lightest camera head in the series to reduce surgeon fatigue during long procedures.
- Advanced Imaging Modalities (AIM): Optimized for urology to help distinguish anatomical variances and overcome poor vision through 4K resolution.
- IRIS (Infrared Illuminated System): Uses lighted ureteral stents to help mitigate the risk of ureteral injury during surgery.
