The Hologic Fluoroscan Premier Encore is a fourth-generation mini C-arm system that advances extremity fluoroscopy with improved image quality, safety, and ease of use. Built for orthopedic, hand, foot/ankle, and sports medicine applications, the Premier Encore offers real-time imaging at reduced radiation levels and low scatter, helping protect both patients and staff. Its compact, counterbalanced C-arm design simplifies positioning around extremities and supports diagnostic, surgical, and post-operative imaging with minimal effort. Dual portrait monitors provide clear visualization, while digital image processing and video averaging help optimize detail and reduce noise.
Key Features
- Dual 6" × 4" image intensifiers
- Optimized for extremity procedures (hand, wrist, shoulder, foot, ankle, knee, etc.)
- Compact, fully adjustable counterbalanced C-arm
- Reduced radiation exposure and scatter for OR staff
- Real-time imaging for intraoperative guidance
