Precision in Every Scan

We’re excited to share a project we’ve been working on with 4DMedical on their next-generation XV Scanner. This collaboration has been a remarkable journey, driven by the need to enhance patient care during lung function scans.

Our mission was to create a frame that is:

4DMedical required an arm management frame to help patients keep their arms still during these critical scans. Our mission was clear: to create a frame that is:

  • Radio transparent 📡: Ensuring that the frame does not interfere with the scanning process, providing clear and accurate results.
  • Lightweight 💪: Making it easy for medical staff to handle and position, while ensuring patient comfort.
  • Durable 🏥: Featuring a robust paint finish that can withstand the rigors of daily medical use.

Our team at C-Tech stepped up to the challenge with enthusiasm and dedication. We produced the initial units just before Christmas 2023 and have recently delivered our second run. The process involved meticulous manufacturing of composite tubes and the precise bonding of metal spigots to ensure the frame slots perfectly into the seat base.

The innovative design of this frame is aimed at significantly improving patient comfort and scan accuracy. By keeping the patient’s arms steady, the XV Scanner can capture more precise images, leading to better diagnostic outcomes.

This project showcases our commitment to advancing medical technology and improving patient care. We are proud of the hard work and ingenuity our team has demonstrated, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with 4DMedical to bring more groundbreaking solutions to the healthcare industry.
