The new video platform is available as a module that can be added to an existing Olympus EVIS EXERA III Universal Imaging System. The modular design reduces the investment necessary to add 3D capability, and allows the surgeon to choose either 2D or 3D visualization from the surgical field.
Akucal Gen 4
J2 Medical recently released the company's newest image scaling tool.
Since its inception in 2006, the patented Akucal scaling tool has gone through many changes. From their original red base model to the current Akucal Gen4, J2 has found ways to improve every aspect of the Akucal, creating the simplest and most effective x-ray scaling tool The small footprint of Akucal's powerful silicon suction cup base allows Techs to use this device both horizontally and vertically for the variety of scenarios they encounter. J2 has incorporated an aluminum extension that they feel will greatly reduce collateral damage from normal wear and tear. Akucal's Ball Claw coupler is now an interchangeable part that can be swapped for different marker sizes or sanitized and is equipped with the industry standard 25MM numerical indicator that is visible in every image.

A flexible second joint makes it easier to position the spar out of the imaging area. And a free floating clamp allows you to position the traction device along the spar providing improved positioning for unrestricted imaging angles
