Arthroscopy Equipment System — 4K / HD Brightfield

Arthroscopic Imaging for Joint Surgery

The Brightfield Arthroscopy Equipment System is designed for minimally invasive orthopedic procedures that require clear visualization, controlled irrigation and specialized surgical instruments. The workstation brings together imaging, fluid management and radiofrequency surgical equipment on a single mobile trolley.

Clinics can select between 4K Ultra HD and HD camera configurations according to their surgical requirements. Both options are intended for real-time visualization of intra-articular anatomy, including cartilage surfaces, ligaments, menisci and synovial tissue.

Choosing Between 4K Ultra HD and HD

For procedures that require detailed examination of fine anatomical structures, the system can be equipped with a three-chip 4K Ultra HD camera. The higher pixel count allows the surgical team to observe subtle differences in tissue appearance and anatomical boundaries when used with a corresponding 4K monitor.

The HD configuration offers an alternative for routine arthroscopic procedures where Full HD visualization meets the surgical team’s requirements.

Both configurations include image controls that allow the physician to adjust the video according to the selected arthroscopic optics and operating conditions.

LED Illumination Inside the Joint

The Brightfield LED light source delivers illumination through the connected arthroscope. With a colour temperature of approximately 5600 K, it produces daylight-like white light for observing cartilage, synovial membranes and other intra-articular structures.

Its specified operating life exceeds 20,000 hours, helping reduce maintenance associated with frequent lamp replacement.

White balance adjustment allows the camera to adapt colour reproduction to the illumination conditions and connected optics.

Arthroscopy Pump with Automatic Pressure Regulation

Maintaining a clear view inside the joint requires controlled irrigation and a stable working space. The Brightfield system includes a specialized automatic arthroscopy pump that regulates fluid pressure and flow during surgery.

When fluid is removed through aspiration or escapes through surgical instruments, the pump adjusts its operation to compensate for these changes. This helps maintain joint cavity distension and consistent visualization during arthroscopic manipulation.

The surgeon can select irrigation settings according to the requirements of the procedure and the joint being examined.

Radiofrequency Equipment for Arthroscopic Procedures

The workstation includes a radiofrequency surgical unit intended for tissue treatment and haemostasis in a fluid environment.

Monopolar and bipolar operating modes are available for coagulation and ablation with appropriate surgical instruments. These functions are used during selected arthroscopic procedures that require controlled removal or treatment of soft tissue.

Camera Presets and Convenient Controls

The endoscopic camera includes stored image profiles for arthroscopy of different joints, such as the knee, shoulder and hip. The required profile can be selected before the procedure, reducing the number of settings that need to be adjusted manually.

Programmable buttons on the camera head provide convenient access to selected functions, allowing the surgeon to change image parameters directly from the handpiece.

Medical Monitor for Operating Room Viewing

The system includes a medical-grade surgical monitor with an anti-reflective display surface. This helps reduce reflections from operating room lights and allows the surgical team to observe the image from different positions.

The monitor and imaging equipment are selected according to the HD or 4K configuration of the workstation.

Mobile Workstation and Equipment Organization

The camera processor, light source, arthroscopy pump and radiofrequency unit are arranged on a mobile trolley with height-adjustable shelves.

Four lockable castors allow the equipment to be positioned near the operating table and secured during use. Dedicated camera holders and organized equipment placement help keep essential accessories within reach.

Flat equipment surfaces are designed for routine cleaning and disinfection according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Clinical Applications

The Brightfield Arthroscopy Equipment System is intended for orthopedic and trauma surgery departments performing minimally invasive joint procedures.

• Knee Arthroscopy: Examination and treatment of intra-articular structures, including menisci, cartilage and synovial tissue.
• Shoulder Arthroscopy: Visualization of joint structures during diagnostic and surgical procedures.
• Hip Arthroscopy: Endoscopic examination and selected minimally invasive interventions.
• Other Joint Procedures: Arthroscopic applications using appropriate instruments and compatible equipment.
