G-Arm: both planes live, the arm stays put

A conventional C-arm shows one plane at a time. G-Arm carries two X-ray chains on one G-shaped gantry, so the AP and the lateral view are on screen together, live, for the whole procedure.

X-Beam®: two planes without interference

Whale's proprietary X-Beam technology pulses each plane at high frequency, out of step with the other, so both views refresh live without one beam disturbing the other.

What changes when the arm stays put

G-Arm is designed for orthopedics, spinal surgery, neurosurgery, trauma and pain management, wherever a procedure needs AP and lateral again and again.

  • Lower dose

    Fewer corrective exposures may mean less cumulative radiation for the patient and for the staff in the room.

  • Shorter procedures

    Live twin-plane views may speed placement and cut the time lost moving and repositioning the arm between AP and lateral.

  • Greater accuracy

    X-Beam® aims at better precision, and better placement can make a revision less likely.

  • A calmer sterile field

    The detector never has to change position, which may help reduce disruption to the sterile field.

iC-Clear® image processing

Seven real-time image processing functions that optimize contrast and reduce noise using less power, and potentially a lower dose, for operators and patients.

Recognition

G-Arm was named Best New Spine Technology in the 2014 Orthopedics This Week Spine Technology Awards, presented at NASS.

What surgeons say

“G-Arm is revolutionizing the way we perform medical procedures. Seeing both image planes simultaneously and not having to change planes, as with a conventional C-arm, helps me focus on the procedure and the patient.”

Michael Compton, MDBest Healthcare of Arizona

“The Whale G-Arm has really provided me with more confidence through less images and therefore less radiation, so safer for the patient and the people in the room.”

Matthew Philips, MDNeurosurgeon, St. Luke's Hospital

“Couldn't have done the case without the G-Arm! … It was a breeze with the simultaneous AP and lateral views available on the G arm.”

Donald Triolo, DPMOn removing a buried K-wire with a G-Arm GXi 2, Alvarado clinic, San Diego

“The G-Arm is easy to use and gives you two plane X-Rays at the same time. Improves accuracy and efficiency.”

Dr Hussein Abdulhadi, MDG-Arm GXi 2, for cervical, transforaminal and lumbar ESIs and selective nerve root blocks

Two G-Arm models

  • G-Arm® B6 Duo

    The newest model, FDA 510(k) cleared, with motorized rotation, X-Pano™ panoramic imaging and DICOM 3.0 connectivity.

  • G-Arm® GXi 2

    Large tracking wheels for extra maneuverability and dual laser aiming for an easier setup.
