Next-Level Joint Surgeries Now Possible With INTELLIO
Arthroscopy is an advanced surgical technique that allows orthopaedic surgeons to examine and treat joint issues through very small incisions, typically around 1 cm, using a tiny camera and specialized instruments.
It is commonly applied to joints such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow, and wrist. Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopy minimizes tissue damage, reduces pain, and enables patients to recover more quickly, making it a preferred option for many joint-related conditions.
The effectiveness of modern arthroscopic procedures relies heavily on high-quality visuals, precise fluid management, and finely engineered instruments. The Smith & Nephew INTELLIO Arthroscopy System integrates all these essential components into a single, advanced setup.
This system features a 4K high-definition camera that delivers exceptionally clear images, allowing surgeons to identify tissues and small anatomical details with accuracy. The system also includes wireless control and an intuitive on-screen interface, designed to make adjustments during surgery smooth and efficient.
A distinctive feature of the INTELLIO system is its dedicated tablet, which enables the surgical team to manage equipment settings from outside the sterile field. This enhances the cleanliness and safety of the operating environment.
Additionally, the INTELLIO app supports secure cloud storage of all surgery images and videos. This allows for organized labeling, easy retrieval, and the use of surgical data for reporting, review, or educational purposes.
Some of the main advantages of the INTELLIO Arthroscopy System include sharper and clearer imaging thanks to its 4K resolution, wireless centralized control that reduces clutter and simplifies equipment handling, a durable and easy-to-clean tablet with long battery life, and smart data storage capabilities that ensure all surgical information is safely backed up and accessible when needed.
KIMS Hospital in Thane has installed the INTELLIO system to enhance the precision, efficiency, and outcomes of upcoming keyhole joint surgeries, particularly for sports-related injuries. With these features, the hospital is now equipped to provide smoother, safer, and more efficient arthroscopic procedures, improving both surgical performance and patient recovery.
