The Orthoscan Tau 2020 is a flagship mini C-arm with a large 20 × 20 cm CMOS detector and a 27" monitor, offering a 13" × 13" live image for excellent anatomical coverage and visualization. It features enhanced articulation, an advanced touchscreen interface, and intelligent dose reduction with pulsed fluoroscopy options, making it suitable for a broad range of extremity procedures. The Tau 2020’s three-way brake control and lightweight frame allow easy movement throughout the facility, while bilateral sterile controls and comprehensive imaging tools support efficient workflow in the OR. High detector resolution, stepless collimation, and flexible pulse rates help optimize both image quality and dose.
