Autoclavable Camera System Aids Surgeons

James Grimes, Flagler Hospital (St. Augustine, FL, USA). "Smith & Nephew's new 3-chip need for improved ergonomic design of autoclavable camera heads. The system is intended to maximize comfort and minimize surgeon hand fatigue through a lightweight design and optimized center of gravity. A detachable coupler makes the camera system compatible with standard direct-view endoscopes. The camera was developed by Smith & Nephew, Inc. Endoscopy Division (Andover, MA, USA).

"Traditional one-chip autoclavable cameras and others currently available simply do not provide the color quality, image resolution, and ergonomic level I need in surgery,” said autoclavable system definitely fills the void for me and my fellow surgeons, while reducing long-range capital equipment investments.”
