The Ziehm vision c-arm has made a name for itself in hospitals, clinics, and treatments centers thanks to its versatility, high-quality, and affordable price. The Ziehm c-arm is primarily used for diagnosing medical conditions and for surgical procedures that are only minimally invasive. Of the two main functions that the device offers, there are several applications where it can be used.
Top 5 Applications
It should be noted that there are many different applications for the c-arm by Ziehm, but the following five have stood out for the number of uses.
Cardiac & Vascular Surgery: One of the most common applications is its use during surgical procedures for cardiac and vascular surgery. The c-arm keeps track of any changes in nearby veins and arteries so that surgeons can see if any collateral damage is occurring because of their work or if additional issues are arising because of undetected problems.
Aneurysm Repair: Repairing an aneurysm is one of the most delicate of operations. So, it requires a high-quality c-arm that provides clear images so that the repair can be properly monitored. This means that the closure or seal used in repairing the aneurysm can be viewed at various times to see if it is still holding up. In addition, the imagery may be used to see if other issues develop so that they can be addressed quickly.
Gastroenterology: One of the most underrated uses of the c-arm by Ziehm is how it can help diagnose issues in the digestive system. It’s use in gastroenterology means that doctors can confirm the symptoms they have been noting or discover potentially new issues that might develop in the system. Because of the numerous veins and arteries are part of the gastrointestinal system, having a device like this works wonders in the correct diagnosis of many conditions.
Orthopedics: This is one of the most popular areas where the Vision c-arm by Ziehm is used. A broken bone often has fragments that must be discovered, monitored, and properly removed so that the healing process can fully commence. Because even the smallest bone fragments can be easily detected by the c-arm, doctors will use this device often for diagnostic purposes.
Pain Management: Although not as high on the list as the other four, it is rising rapidly thanks to the many advances in pain management. This c-arm is often used to detect inflammation, changes in blood flow, and other indications that may diagnose potential areas in the body that are the source of the pain the patient is feeling. At the very least, it can help to eliminate an area or organ of the body that is causing the pain to incur.
There is little doubt that the Ziehm vision will be used for the foreseeable future in both diagnosing medical conditions and in minor surgical procedure. It speaks to the overall versatility of the Ziehm c-arm that it is still used in many medical centers, hospitals, and clinics today because of the information it provides to doctors so they can properly treat their patients.
