Price: not provided
FYI: The F1, billed as balanced and lightweight, is also cordless.
Surgeons long bound by cord-and-console setups can feel much
freer to maneuver, as well as less concerned about contaminating
the sterile field with dirty cords. Another cool feature: a choice of
pencil- or pistol-style gripping via the F1's SmartGRIP lithium-ion
battery control modules. Using either module, surgeons can operate
3 micro saws, a micro drill, and a universal motor for inserting k-
wires and drilling. The control modules can go unused for 30 days
without losing power and performance, says the company. The F1
system features an all-inclusive, non-anodized container with 2 tray
inserts to hold all system components, and even contains insulation
to increase resistance to thermal damage throughout sterilization.
