Highlights

• À la carte concept for efficient compilation of a customized instrument set
• Diverse 2D telescopes with different directions of view
• TIPCAM®1 S 3D NEURO – 3D endoscopy in 0° and 30°
• Continuous vision thanks to effective lens cleaning systems
• Wide range of standard instruments such as curettes, dissectors, scissors, hooks and knives

NIR/ICG fluorescence imaging – an OPAL1® technology from KARL STORZ – enables the visualization of vascular structures in real time. The inflow of indocyanine green (ICG) can be made visible with light at wavelengths in the near infrared range.

The use of endoscopic NIR/ICG technology and the administration of indocyanine green (ICG) enables neurosurgeons to identify anatomic structures.

This allows the intraoperative perfusion assessment of tissue, the identification of neurovascular structures, the differentiation of tissue layers between tumors and adjacent structures as well as the visual evaluation of blood vessels and their perfusion.¹

The 4 mm NIR/ICG neuroendoscopes are available with diverse directions of view (0°, 30° and 45°) and can be used with both near infrared imaging and standard white light.

• À la carte concept for efficient compilation of a customized instrument set
• VITOM® 3D system – a revolutionary solution for the visualization of microsurgical and open surgical interventions
• Angled 2D telescopes with thin diameters for space-saving keyhole neurosurgery
• TIPCAM®1 S 3D NEURO – 3D endoscopy in 0° and 30°
• Delicate and ergonomic single-sheath micro instruments with straight or bayonet-shaped design
• Unique TAKE-APART® bipolar forceps with various inserts

The VITOM® 3D system provides a solution for the visualization of microsurgical and open surgical interventions. Application possibilities are similar to that of the operating microscope.¹ The system is controlled via the IMAGE1 PILOT which is mounted on the OR table in close proximity to the surgeon.

• Smaller, lighter and more compact than an operating microscope²
• Lower acquisition costs and creates synergistic effects with endoscopy by using the same video tower – thus combining the benefits of endoscopy and microscopy¹
• Ergonomic work – the user is not confined to the eyepiece¹
• Improved workflow – the OR team can view the procedure in the same image quality as the surgeon¹
