The Sony monitor provides the best combination of colour, black levels, refresh rates and 4K resolution. The size of the monitor also allows it to be viewed from several different positions, enabling everyone in the room to have the same view.

More ergonomic workflow
“The quality of an image is fundamental for a surgeon because it gives the confidence to move and work the case with a better flow,” says Dr. Mitesh Shah, (MD, FAAN) Professor of Neurological Surgery for Indiana University’s School of Medicine. “With traditional microscopes I was physically contorting myself or having to move the patient, which wasn’t comfortable or efficient. Using the Synaptive digital microscope and Sony 4K monitor, it’s a night and day difference in terms of the ergonomic flow in the OR. Using a robotic arm and working off a monitor allows me to be in a neutral, well-balanced position which I can maintain for longer periods of time without fatigue.”
Large 4K images assist surgical teams and trainees
Synaptive Medical is a global medical device and technology company specialising in neurosurgery and related disciplines. To partner its Modus V™ robotically controlled digital microscope system, Synaptic required a high-performance medical monitor to display surgical images with exceptional resolution, contrast and natural colour reproduction. Giving everyone in the Operating Room a ‘heads-up’ view of intricate surgeries on a large screen, Modus V is also beneficial in medical education programmes, helping trainees to understand and replicate complex procedures.
High contrast helps surgeons visualise tissues
Director of Product Management Brad Fernald explains Synaptive’s choice of the Sony LMD-X550MD 55” 4K monitor: “Using the Modus V with Sony’s high contrast monitors allows for the visualisation of tissue and structures and can help surgeons perform very complex and technically demanding procedures using smaller openings and less available light.”
