Sony launches new 27-inch Full HD LCD surgical monitors for minimally invasive surgery and surgical microscopy in ANZ

Sony Australia and New Zealand have launched their LMD-2765MD and LMD-2760MD High Definition (HD) surgical monitors, which are thinner, more compact and brighter than any commonly available 26" surgical monitors currently available on the market.

Producing Full HD quality colour video images from endoscopic and laparoscopic cameras and other compatible medical imaging systems, the LMD-2765MD and LMD-2760MD are the only surgical monitors on the market equipped with OptiContrast™. This innovative technology reduces internal and external reflections to optimize image contrast and provides surgeons and staff with a superior view during operations.

Designed to enhance any operating room, the monitors incorporate a modern edge-to-edge glass front design with 27” display, narrow bezel, a robust aluminum housing and a removable cable cover at the rear to hide connectors and manage cables neatly. Due to the sleek design of the monitors, they can be easily wiped down using commonly available cleaning solutions for infection control.

The monitors can also be conveniently mounted on a boom arm or medical cart. The front of the monitor is splash resistant and has an Ingress Protection rating of IPX5, with all other sides rated to IPX2, which is sufficient for protection and regular cleaning.

The monitors have an intuitive backlit control panel for fingertip operation with an innovative feature to only light up buttons that are selectable, thereby guiding non-experienced users to change parameters quickly and efficiently, saving time and stress in today’s busy Operating Room environment. The flexible operation is enhanced with a choice of multiple modality display capabilities using PIP/POP picture modes to match clinical display needs. Convenient image flip and mirroring functions also provide greater viewing flexibility. The LMD-2760MD providesdigital video input connectivity, while the LMD-2765MD offers both analogue and digital interfaces to enhance compatibility with a wide range of HD and SD imaging sources.

Both monitors incorporate an advanced image processing technology called A.I.M.E.™, which can adjust both the colour and structure of the video image independently to provide real-time image to satisfy the Surgeon’s preference.

“The new LMD-2765MD and LMD-2760MD surgical monitors from Sony set a new standard in Operating Room visualization”, said Amanda Aldridge, Medical Solutions Product Managerat Sony Australia. “The 27-inch full HD displays not only provide surgeons with a larger image to view, but are also slimmer and smaller in dimension than any similar display size surgical monitor currently available on the market*, due to modern design with edge-to-edge glass.”

The LMD-2765MD and LMD-2760MD monitors are available now.
