C-Arm Machine Recommendations for Private Hospitals

 When private hospitals choose a C-arm machine, it is important to consider hospital size, departmental needs, budget, and technological trends. A comprehensive evaluation of equipment performance, cost-effectiveness, and after-sales service is essential. Different departments—such as orthopedics, interventional radiology, and emergency medicine—have varying functional requirements for C-arm systems. For example, orthopedic departments emphasize imaging precision and mobility, while interventional departments focus on DSA integration and low-dose radiation control.

C-arm systems can be categorized into three main types based on technology and functionality. Private hospitals can upgrade in stages according to their actual needs:

1. Basic Flat-Panel Mini C-Arm

(Ideal for small to medium-sized hospitals or primary care departments)

Features:
Equipped with a flat-panel detector, it offers higher image clarity compared to traditional image intensifiers. It meets the basic imaging needs for orthopedic surgery and general interventional procedures, features lower radiation doses, and provides excellent cost performance.

Recommended Brands:

• Perlove Medical – A leading domestic manufacturer with a comprehensive product line covering mini C-arms; known for wide market coverage and reliable after-sales service.
• Shinva Medical – A traditional manufacturer offering stable products, suitable for budget-conscious hospitals.

Recommended Model: PLX C2118 / C2119 Series

2. High-End Interventional Medium C-Arm

(Ideal for medium to large hospitals or specialized departments)

Features:
Integrated with intelligent image processing, low-dose algorithms, and multi-angle fluoroscopy capabilities. It is suitable for complex interventional procedures such as vascular interventions and tumor ablations. The system supports real-time intraoperative guidance and 3D reconstruction.

Recommended Brands:

• United Imaging Healthcare – A high-end domestic representative with rapid technological innovation; performance of its interventional C-arms approaches international standards.
• Perlove Medical – Focused on low-dose radiation technology, ideal for departments prioritizing patient safety.

Recommended Model: PLX7100A Series

3. 3D C-Arm

(Ideal for large comprehensive hospitals and precision medicine applications)

Features:
Equipped with Cone Beam CT (CBCT) technology, it can generate intraoperative 3D images for precise anatomical visualization. It is well-suited for high-precision procedures such as spinal surgery and tumor biopsy.

Recommended Brands:

• Perlove Medical – Offers models such as the PLX C7600, capable of completing 3D scans within 30 seconds with rapid reconstruction speed.
• Yiying Medical – An emerging manufacturer focused on 3D imaging technology, offering increasing cost-effectiveness.

Recommended Model: PLX C7600 Series

Investment Strategy for Budget-Constrained Hospitals

For hospitals with limited budgets, a phased investment approach is recommended. Initially, a basic mini C-arm (with image intensifier or flat-panel detector) can be selected to meet essential imaging needs. Later, hospitals can upgrade to interventional or 3D C-arms as demand grows.

By carefully selecting suppliers and ensuring reliable after-sales support, hospitals can significantly enhance diagnostic efficiency, improve patient satisfaction, and strengthen overall competitiveness.
