Highlights

Tubular System for Endoscopic and Microsurgical Spine Surgery

Special Features: 

• Application possibilities for treating disc pathologies and stenoses at the lumbar and cervical levels
• Second generation with more working space for better handling and a wider range of indications than the previous model¹
• Specially adapted telescopes and the high-resolution KARL STORZ 4K technology supports the differentiation of anatomic structures
• Sequential dilation and the use of smaller trocar sizes can reduce muscle trauma¹
• Malleable drill handpieces for use with all trocar lengths

Special Features:

• One system – three sets optimized for standard approaches: Transforaminal, interlaminar and posterolateral
• 4K image resolution during surgery
• Reusable bipolar electrodes for coagulation 
• DRILLCUT-X® II SPINE handpiece with matching burrs for ablation of bone material during fully endoscopic surgery 
• Color-coded instruments for coordination with endoscopes

The VITOM® 3D system provides many surgical disciplines with a solution for the visualization of microsurgical and open surgical interventions. Application possibilities are similar to that of the operating microscope.¹ The most important functions are controlled via the IMAGE1 PILOT, which is mounted on the OR table in the direct vicinity of 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
