Leica Microsystems, a Danaher company and a leading provider of microscopy and scientific instrumentation, has launched ARveo 8x, a hybrid surgical microscope for neurosurgery, spine, and plastic reconstructive procedures.
It blends ‘high-quality Leica optics’ with 3D visualisation technologies and digital data integration capabilities. With advanced illumination for tissue protection and cutting-edge fluorescence imaging solutions, the company says that ARveo 8x gives surgeons clear, detailed views during complex surgeries.
“The hybrid system of the ARveo 8x surgical microscope empowers surgeons to have freedom and flexibility to perform precise surgeries in a comfortable setting,” said Aysar Ziyadeh, Vice President, Medical Business Unit, Leica Microsystems.
Leica has said that the tool has been designed with surgeon comfort in mind, with a ‘flexible and lightweight setup’ that creates a smooth and efficient surgical environment. With heads-up surgery, the company says surgeons and their teams are no longer limited by traditional oculars. 3D monitors enabling exoscopic surgery provide them with freedom of movement and enhanced teaching experiences.
Accessing digital information is easy with ARveo 8x according to Leica. Surgeons can ‘seamlessly’ switch between optical and digital views without any interruption in their workflow. The microscope also integrates compatible IGS system information.
