Orthoscan to Debut Mini C-Arm at AAOS 2025 Annual Meeting

Orthoscan is planning to launch its mini C-arm for clinical imaging next week at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) annual meeting in San Diego (March 11-13).

Designed for unparalleled mobility, Orthoscan VERSA is a fully portable imaging solution that seamlessly integrates into any clinical setting—whether on a desktop or an articulating monitor cart. The intuitive touchscreen monitor delivers a tablet-like experience, eliminating the need for bulky components and streamlining the clinical workspace. With its portability, VERSA enables smooth transitions between satellite clinics and off-site locations, optimizing efficiency and patient care, according to the company.

By reducing the need for off-site imaging, Orthoscan VERSA accelerates diagnoses and enhances clinical workflow. “Ziehm-Orthoscan is dedicated to developing technology every year that significantly improves clinical outcomes,” Ziehm-Orthoscan President/CEO Nelson Mendes said.

The VERSA mini C-arm features a 180-degree orbital rotation, allowing for optimal imaging of knees, shoulders, hands, and feet while ensuring patient comfort. This over-rotation capability provides preferred anatomical views without unnecessary stress on the patient.

The key benefits of Orthoscan VERSA:

• An onscreen virtual keyboard — Integrated monitor and CPU eliminate the need for a physical keyboard, offering a seamless Orthotouch tablet-like experience.
• Enhanced functionality — Selectable pulse fluoro technology with pediatric imaging approval.
• Space-saving design — Improved arc depth and a compact footprint ensure optimal positioning during procedures.
• Lightweight and portable — Weighing 35 pounds and standing 22 inches tall, it enables effortless mobility between exam rooms.
• Versatile and modular — Functions as a fully portable system or a desktop workstation, adapting to diverse clinical needs.

“Our mission is to stay at the forefront of intraoperative imaging,” Mendes added. “Every system we deliver is an opportunity to improve patient outcomes, making high-quality imaging more accessible and efficient.”

Orthoscan’s advanced mini C-arm solutions empower clinicians with precise imaging, ensuring accurate diagnoses and personalized patient care. Procedures that once required an operating room can now be performed in a clinical setting, streamlining diagnostics, intraoperative imaging, and post-surgical assessments. This shift enhances patient comfort, reduces costs, and increases overall efficiency, revolutionizing the way healthcare professionals deliver care.

Since 2002, Orthoscan has set the standard in mini C-arm imaging technology through ingenuity and cutting-edge solutions. Designed and manufactured in Scottsdale, Ariz., the company’s products include the TAU family of mini C-arms and now Versa. Orthoscan is a division of Ziehm-Orthoscan Inc.
