Clinicians can now conduct X-Ray imaging of small
bones in the extremities right at the point of
care, thanks to OXOS Medical. OXXOS Medical is a
medtech spinoff out of Georgia Tech. The device
is named the Micro C, and has been cleared by the
FDA. The device was designed to prevent
situations in which clinicians have to handle and
operate large machinery to perform X-Ray imaging
of small bones from the shoulder to the hand and
the knee to the foot. It can also be deployed
during surgical procedures, allowing surgeons to
capture images more easily than by using large,
fixed equipment. Because Micro C is small and
portable, it could help provide access to medical
imaging in low-resource and remote areas of the
globe.

Micro C emits very low levels of radiation, when
compared with traditional X-Ray imaging
equipment. It can also provide X-Ray videos that
allow clinicians to perform guided injections or
study bones in motion. Evan Ruff, CEO of OXOS
Medical said, X-Ray is the first medical imaging
modality going all the way back to Röntgen 1895.
X-Rays started being widely used in medicine
around WWI, with Marie Curie building a portable
machine and taking diagnostic images on French
battlefields. The digital C-Arms and Mini C-Arms
that you see in surgery today really started
evolving in the late 1990s, but then innovation
stagnated. Micro C is the first new radiographic
imaging form factor in quite a few decades.

Gregory Kolovich, Chief Medical Officer of OXOS
Medical said, Micro is a six-pound emitter
paired with a digital 6 x-ray cassette. The
device allows for capturing the distal extremity
from the shoulder to fingertips and knees to
toes. I use the device in both surgery and the
clinic. In surgery, the agility is excellent for
the hard-to-capture views, and in the clinic,
having the imaging device right there when Im
doing an exam is terrific. Micro C makes me a
more efficient surgeon. Also, when Im going to
our satellite clinics, Ill take it with me that
way, I know Ill have the right modality as soon
as I arrive.

Product roll-out began in July and OXOS is
installing devices as fast as we can. Patient
feedback has been extremely positive because they
dont have to go to another area, wait for images
and then wait to revisit the clinician. Now the
patient can see the image instantly, together
with the clinician, which enables them to be part
of the care process. This can create more trust
between the provider and the patient.
