Why Choose DRTECH EXTRON C-Arms?

The EXTRON series is engineered for demanding surgical environments, combining industry-leading low-dose imaging with practical features that streamline operations. Key benefits include:

• Ultimate Low-Dose Performance: Proven detectors and advanced technology minimize unnecessary radiation for physicians, staff, and patients, complying with stringent safety standards like IEC 60601-2-43.
• RNR (Real-time Noise Reduction) Technology: Analyzes motion and non-motion regions in real-time for optimal image processing, delivering low-noise images with up to 30% higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
• User-Friendly Design: Intuitive controls, virtual collimators, and ergonomic setups make imaging easier for physicians and technicians, reducing procedure times.
• Enhanced Workflow and Productivity: Features like emergency radiography, mirroring systems, and integrated XConsole software boost efficiency in busy ORs.
• Reinforced Safety: Options for RAID 1-class storage, Dose Area Product (DAP) monitoring, and Air Kerma reporting ensure compliance and protection against system errors.

All models support a range of power requirements (120-127 VAC or 220-230 VAC) and operate in ambient conditions suitable for clinical use (10°C–35°C, 35–75% humidity). They come standard with green laser guides, hand/foot switches, thermal printers, and equipment protection covers. Optional upgrades, such as larger detector grids (324×324 mm) and on-site training (at an additional fee), further customize these systems for your facility.

Now, let’s dive into the specific models available.
