The Stryker 1688 4K Camera System changes how surgeons see and operate. Also known as the 1688 AIM (Advanced Imaging Modalities) 4K Platform, it helps doctors across many specialties like general surgery, ENT, urology, orthopedics, and gynecology. This system gives you clear, real-time images with 4K resolution and advanced fluorescence imaging. It’s all managed through the Connected OR Hub, which brings together images, data, and tools in one place for a smooth workflow in the operating room. It’s part of a broader range of imaging services used in modern surgical setups.
What Makes the Stryker 1688 Stand Out
See in Greater Detail Than Ever
The camera system delivers 4K ultra-high-definition (HD) resolution. You can see anatomy in sharp detail. This helps you perform surgery more accurately, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
Real-Time Fluorescence Imaging
The system supports SPY modes to show blood flow and tissue perfusion. This is key during surgeries that involve vessels, ducts, or other delicate structures.
Smart Lighting
With Auto Light, the camera adjusts brightness by itself. The enhanced light quality keeps the surgical field well-lit at all times, even during deep or minimally invasive procedures.
Custom Settings for Every Surgeon
You can save surgeon profiles with preferred settings. Every time you use the system, it remembers your setup. That means less time adjusting and more time focusing on the patient.
Hands-Free Operation
Use the 1688 camera head or a wireless headset to control the system. You can also use a remote. This helps you stay sterile while working faster and more efficiently.
Dual Channel Recording
Record two video feeds at once. You can use them together or separately. This is helpful for reviewing or teaching.
Benefits in Minimally Invasive Surgery

4K resolution and advanced imaging give you a better view of the surgical site. - Lower Risk of Injury
Tools like IRIS and SPY help you avoid damaging key structures. - Works Across Specialties
One system supports many types of surgery with consistent performance. - Faster Workflow
With surgeon profiles, hands-free control, and auto settings, the setup is quicker and easier. - Better Results for Patients
When you can see more clearly, you can make better decisions.
How to Care for the Stryker 1688 System
Handle with Care
The camera head and scope are delicate. Always store them safely to avoid drops or damage.
Clean and Sterilize Properly
Parts like the camera head come non-sterile. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning steps before and after every procedure.
Use the Right Equipment
Only use Stryker-approved cables and accessories. This keeps connections safe and working right.
Inspect Before Each Use
Look for signs of damage. Make sure everything is connected correctly and ready for the type of surgery you plan to do.
Power Safety
Plug into a grounded, hospital-grade outlet. Do not use extension cords or outlets on the floor.
Professional Repairs Only
If something breaks, let a professional fix it. Don’t try to open or repair the device yourself.
