Imaging evolved
Over twice the size of detectors found on conventional mini C-arms*, an industry-leading 20cm x 20cm detector takes the potential of the mini C-arm to the next level.
Confirm joint space with accuracy, see fractures in full view, and save dose by minimizing shots so that you can work efficiently. Combined with pediatric indication, image anatomy in ways never before possible on a mini C-arm.
- LED LIGHTSInsufficient lighting during a case can make it challenging to see anatomy clearly. Unique to the Orthoscan TAU family, surgical LED lights provide additional illumination on the anatomy. Eliminate shadows cast from the C-arm and the OR so you can work with certainty.
- STEPLESS COLLIMATORIntroducing the industry’s first motorized collimator in a mini C-arm. With the touch of a finger, infinitely adjust via the touchscreen interface to minimize radiation exposure and reduce patient dose while limiting the area of interest.
- BILATERAL CONTROLSNew backlit controls are easier to see with additional buttons for upgraded functionality.
- C-ARM DESIGNFocus on your case with an increased orbital rotation of 160°, larger arc depth of 20”, and improved umbilical cable. Effortlessly maneuver the C-arm to attain preferred views without stressing your patient’s anatomy.
IMPROVED BILATERAL CONTROLS
New backlit controls are easier to see with additional functionality.
Redesigned from the inside out to reduce service maintenance.
Maneuver your system with ease down hallways, around corners, and in the operating room.
Easy access to the power button and I/O ports directly on top of the chassis.
Protects power cords and other cables from being damaged.
Keep your equipment and data safe in the modern healthcare environment.

As TAU 2020 closes the gap between mini and full size C-arms, you may wonder which class of device is right for your imaging needs.
Here are three simple advantages TAU 2020 has over full size equipment.
1. Low dose device
By the nature of their design and advancements in dose reduction technology, Orthoscan mini C-arms typically emit significantly less dose than conventional full size C-arms.
2. Easy to use
Orthoscan mini C-arms are all-in-one units designed to be easily positioned and operated by one user. Multiple operators and accessories are not required.
3. Small & portable
True to their name, Orthoscan mini C-arms take up less space in your facility and OR. They are highly portable, making transport between rooms painless.
