A next-generation display boasts an antireflective coating that can overcome glare in high ambient light environments.

The 27" Radiance Ultra utilizes proprietary color calibration technology to assure that the color of tissue and other anatomy is always rendered accurately and consistently over time from display to display at high output luminance (6,500 K color temperature, 900 cd/m2). The usable contrast ratio, which allows surgeons to more easily visualize recessed anatomy, is also increased to improve overall viewing experience. Each system is precisely calibrated to stringent specifications, enabling zero-latency, pixel-by-pixel color response correction in real time.

The light emitting diode (LED) backlit display also features a sealed edge-to-edge front panel that incorporates Corning (Corning, NY, USA) Gorilla Glass, thus providing a seamless design that enables faster operating room turnaround and enhanced clinical efficiency through quicker and more convenient cleaning and disinfection. Another benefit of the Corning Gorilla Glass is its excellent scratch and impact resistance. Engineered to provide a splash-proof front enclosure, the display has a front liquid ingress protection rating of IPX6.

Other intelligent design features include proximity-sensitive menu buttons, which illuminate when approached and in use, and then automatically dim to minimize visual distraction. An integrated rear cable cover conveniently routes cables for easy management. To further boost clinical confidence, a digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) gamma setting and a proprietary backlight stabilization system provide DICOM 3.14 compliance equivalent to that of a diagnostic radiology display. The 27" Radiance Ultra is a product of NDS Surgical Imaging (San Jose, CA, USA).

“The launch of the 27" Radiance Ultra signals a new era in surgical visualization,” said Karim Khadr, president and general manager of NDS Surgical Imaging. “As a manufacturer solely focused on medical innovation, we take great pride in enabling surgical teams to see more, learn more, and ultimately do more for their patients.”
