From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Minicarm.com is a U.S.–based medical device company headquartered in Hauppauge, New York, specializing in Mini C-Arm fluoroscopy equipment. The company sells, leases, and rents new and refurbished Mini C-Arm systems, and offers repair, maintenance, and parts supply services. Minicarm.com serves clinics, hospitals, surgery centers, and other medical facilities nationwide.

History

[edit]

Minicarm.com was founded by Christopher Bacon, an engineer with over four decades of experience in military, aerospace, and medical imaging design. Bacon is also the technical founder of Orthoscan, a manufacturer of C-Arm fluoroscopy machines, and was instrumental in designing the x-ray tube head used in most Orthoscan Mini C-Arms in production until recent models.[1]

In 2020, Minicarm.com expanded its U.S. operations by opening a dedicated Mini C-Arm refurbishment center in Hauppauge, New York. The facility includes an in-house sanding and paint booth, specialized testing stations, and assembly areas designed to enhance quality control. The center was created to streamline refurbishment workflows, reduce turnaround times, and enable same-day shipping for select orders.[2]

Services

[edit]

The company offers a wide selection of Mini C-Arm fluoroscopy systems for sale, lease, or rent, including models such as the Hologic Fluoroscan InSight FD, Hologic Fluoroscan InSight 2, Orthoscan FD, and Orthoscan Mobile DI. Minicarm.com also purchases used Mini C-Arm equipment, sells replacement parts, and provides repair and preventive maintenance services regardless of original equipment manufacturer or unit age.[3]
