New C-Arm for Wexford General

Wexford General Hospital has installed its own Ziehm Solo C-Arm for general Fluroscopy work in the Operating Theatres, replacing its existing system of 20 years.

The C-Arm was supplied by medical imaging specialists Xograph Healthcare following a glowing recommendation by Cork University Hospital, which installed its first Ziehm Solo mobile C-Arm image intensifier from the firm in January 2011.

The Ziehm Solo Mobile C-Arm is exclusively supplied in Ireland and the United Kingdom by the leading independent diagnostic imaging supplier Xograph Healthcare. The intuitive and user-friendly Ziehm Solo is available in three configurations; the system of choice for Wexford General Hospital is the space-saving all-in-one compact version, with the monitors ergonomically mounted onto the C-Arm and an articulating support arm negating the need for a separate monitor cart. Other variants of the Solo can incorporate the monitors on a more conventional type monitor cart and/or remotely mounted, for example on the ceiling. 
 
Crona Carew, Radiology Services Manager at Wexford General Hospital, commented: “We were impressed with the service received from Xograph at Cork so we decided to source a C-Arm from them for Wexford General Hospital and needless to say they did not let us down. Ziehm mobile image intensifiers are very compact and easy to move; the touch screen is very intuitive and simple to use and the image quality is excellent, which is why we prefer to use them.”
