Meet SMART-C
The SMART Solution for Orthopaedic Imaging
Purpose-built for orthopaedic care, SMART-C® improves access to imaging anywhere. It's modular nature offers true flexibility to equip your team for the task at hand. Being truly wireless, you can move seamlessly from intraoperative screening, to imaging in clinic.
Lighter
The main imaging unit weighs just 7kg and can function independently of the optional cart, allowing you to take it wherever it's needed.
Wireless
Say goodbye to trip hazards and bad network ports. The SMART-C is battery powered and controlled by a WiFi enabled tablet.
Capable
The SMART-C can go 8 hours on a single charge. 2 batteries and a charge station are included as standard so you're always ready.
Low Dose
A low dose mode, pulsed fluoroscopy and a CMOS detector allow some of the lowest doses without compromising on image quality.
Modular
You can be equipped to handle simple table top imaging in clinic and complex MIS cases in theatres with one modular system.
The freedom of choice
Portability Package
Prioritise ease of transportation with the portability package. The imaging unit can be used desktop in clinic or totally enclosed in a sterile cover and placed straight in the surgical field for intraoperative imaging.
Positioning Package
Ultimate versatility with a fully counterbalanced cart that allows infinite adjustment of the imaging unit for a range of in clinic and intraoperative imaging. The tablet arm ensures that the system is in an optimal position for ease of use.
Surgical Suite
For the most demanding surgical applications, choose the surgical suite. A second cart with a 27" HD colour monitor, printer, keyboard and tablet docking station enhance the viewing experience. Both carts are still completely wireless and ready for all day performance.
A Greater Number of Applications
Surgical
Built for surgery. Superb image quality, low dose, multiple positioning options.
In-Clinic
Portable, capable, ideal for point of care imaging without compromise
Training
The ease of use, versatility and portability make it ideal for surgical training centres.
Emergency
Ready to image in 1 minute and portable enough to go wherever you go.

No need for the hospital walls to be the boundary.
Some Frequently Asked Questions
How much smaller is the detector than my normal mini c-arm?
The SMART-C has a 15x15cm detector which is actually 25% larger than several other leading models. The SMART-C also has a limited field mode.
Do I need a stand to use it intraoperatively?
Not necessarily. Because the system is wireless, we are able to offer a sterile drape that completely encases it. This allows the SMART-C to simply be placed into the sterile field. In hand surgery for example, you could just place the system on your standard hand board. For other surgical applications, the high quality, fully counterbalanced stands offer maximum flexibility.
Does it have the power I need to get good image quality?
The SMART-C is actually able to operate at a higher tube current (0.37mA) than a number of other systems, which typically have a maximum current of around 0.10-0.15mA. The tube voltage operates between 40 & 80kV. This coupled with the high quality CMOS detector ensures exceptional image quality.
We have several sites that have an intermittent need for mini c-arm - could we transport it between sites?
Yes absolutely, there is the option to purchase a transport case which can be moved around like a wheeled suitcase enabling the system to be safely and easily moved using existing inter-hospital transport. You can also purchase additional positioning carts to keep on each site. If utilisation increases, you can purchase another unit without a cart. Our product specialists would be happy to suggest some handover processes that you could propose to your medical physics team.
I'm an independent clinician working across multiple sites, could I purchase one for my own use?
Please get in touch with us. Our clinically trained product specialists will be able to discuss your needs and provide a brief overview of some of the legislation to help you decide if this is the right solution for you.
