GE OEC 9900 C-Arm

DESCRIPTION

The GE 9900 C-Arm is a versatile device that is ubiquitous in surgery centers and hospitals.  Easy to use controls, excellent specifications, and various software packages (GSP, ESP, PM Care, Vascular, Vascular MTS, and Cardiac) makes this an incredibly popular device.  We can upgrade units by replacing the image intensifier with a CMOS flat panel detector (additional charges do apply).
