RMV->)A new endoscopic camera is said to produce excellent image quality and reduced artifacts. Smith & Nephew says progressive-scan technology provides images like those on high-resolution televisions. While traditional interlaced video uses two visual fields, progressive-scan camera systems read and display images in one frame. The system's autoclave and non-autoclave options include interlaced-compatible cameras and control units for arthroscopic, laparoscopic, cystoscopic and other endoscopic procedures. It's compatible with many endoscopes and the new Smith & Nephew 640 Image Management System, a surgical documentation tool that stores, accesses and distributes intra-operative reports, digital video clips and still images. The company did not give prices.
