The primary difference between a Super-C and standard units is the depth of the arc of the C. Compared to a standard C-arm with a 9 image intensifier (II), the Super-C has an extra 7. The Super C has 5 more in the arc compared to the 12 II configuration. This difference in arc depth offers Super-C users 148 degrees of orbital rotation as opposed to the 115 degrees afforded standard C users. With the extended rotation, Super-C users can accomplish scans that previously would have required repositioning of the patient by simply repositioning their c-arm instead. This offers greater flexibility in the OR and saves time.
L-Arm DesignAnother difference is the design of the L-arm between the body of the unit and the arc of the C. The L-arm of the Super-C was shortened to accommodate the increased dimensions of the C. This change does not affect the side-to-side rotation of the Super-C.
Overall SizeIn overall size, the Super-C resides between the slightly smaller standard 9 II configuration and the slightly larger standard 12 configuration. The difference in either direction is 2 or less in both height and length. The monitor carts of all three styles share identical dimensions.
PriceThe final (and most-often inquired after) difference is in pricing. The buyer looking to purchase a Super-C can expect to pay an average of 5 - 10% more than the price of a standard C.
