CompaX 500C – Compact C-Arm System for Modern Operating Rooms

The CompaX 500C is a powerful mobile C-arm system designed for surgical procedures that require high-quality imaging, flexible positioning, and a smooth intraoperative workflow.

Its compact design and modern flat-panel detector technology make it an excellent choice for orthopedics, trauma surgery, spine surgery, and interventional procedures.

High-Resolution Flat-Panel Imaging

The digital detector provides clear, distortion-free, and high-contrast fluoroscopic images.
The large dynamic field of view enables reliable visualization of bony structures, implants, and instruments—even under challenging anatomical conditions.

Imaging advantages:

  • Distortion-free image quality

  • High contrast and fine detail resolution

  • Fast real-time image processing

  • Large field of view (9" or 12" detector options)

Ergonomic, Counterbalanced C-Arm Mechanics

The CompaX 500C features a high-quality mechanical construction that enables precise, quick positioning.
The fully counterbalanced C-arm ensures smooth, stable motion—critical for reproducible projections during surgery.

Mechanical features:

  • Orbital rotation: –33° to +117°

  • Lateral rotation: ±180°

  • Wig/Wag: ±15°

  • Vertical travel: 400 mm

  • Horizontal travel: 200 mm

  • SID: 1000 mm

Ergonomic handles and clearly marked movement axes further support fast and intuitive C-arm operation, even in space-limited OR environments.

Efficient Workflow in the Operating Room

The system is designed to support surgical procedures without interruption.
All essential functions are easily accessible, and the streamlined user interface allows immediate adjustment of imaging parameters during fluoroscopy.

Workflow benefits:

  • Intuitive multi-touch user interface

  • Fast kV/mA adjustment in real time

  • Zero-delay fluoroscopy and last-image display

  • Optional dual-monitor trolley (2 × 19”)

  • High image quality with minimal positioning time
