Designed for ENT and cranial neurosurgery
As a surgeon specialised in ENT or cranial neurosurgery you might be familiar with the difficulties of finding a comfortable working position for certain surgical procedures.
Your upper body must follow the movements of the microscope as you search for the right angles to reach the surgical area. This might lead to unhealthy working positions, back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders.
This is why we have developed ArcView - an optical add-on system for RoboticScope®.
What if...
- you could visually access complex anatomical structures like inner ear, brain, or skull base, while maintaining an upright ergonomic posture during the surgical procedure?
- you would not have to follow the microscope with your body positioning?
- you would not have to move your hands off the OR field when adjusting the visualisation system?
An optical add-on system for more viewing angles
ArcView is an optical redirection system which enables visualisation in procedures within difficult to access areas. It consists of a software interface module combined with an optical redirection system. In just a few steps ArcView can be attached to the robot camera head. One selection on the user interface and ArcView is ready to use.
Technical data:
-
Redirection angle:
ArcView redirects the light rays and 3D image of the operational field by 45° -
Working distance:
220mm with absolute magnification of 4.4x-20.5x370mm with absolute magnification of 3.2x-11.3x
-
Lowest viewing angle:
approx. 10° horizontal to the OR table
The main point is regarding the exposure - which for me is very important, specifically for transcanal because there are many hidden areas for which it is sometimes difficult to have clear exposure with the microscope. You have to move the microscope and then have to stay in this position for some time which is not very ergonomic.“
