3D Digital Microscope

 

Overview

Artevo 800 is novel cutting-edge 3D surgical digital microscope used in the field of ophthalmology. It features the ability to overlay data such as preoperative biometry, surgical tracking and intraoperative OCT in real time, for critical decision-making during surgery without blocking the surgical field. With this novel device, we are able to conduct surgery more smoothly and safely.

 

Features Summary

The digital microscope provides high-quality visualization and precision for a range of ophthalmic surgical procedures. It features a high-resolution digital camera that provides clear images and videos of the surgical site, allowing surgeons to operate with greater accuracy and confidence. The microscope also includes advanced imaging technologies such as 3D head-up visualization and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which allows real-time imaging of tissue structures and helps guide surgical decisions. It is widely used by ophthalmic surgeons around the world, as well as in the Ophthalmology department of Taipei Veterans General Hospital.

 

Procedure

Digital integration

The 3D digital ophthalmic microscope with two 3-chip 4K cameras, rather than trying to put a modular digital camera head on top of a conventional microscope, the optics of the digital system are integrated right into the microscope. This reduces the issues of lag and delay.

Resolution

The 4K resolution is four times the pixel resolution or twice the line resolution of 1080p, with each camera delivering 3840 × 2160 pixels, while using one chip for each of the colors (red, blue and green). The images are displayed on a 4K medical-grade monitor capable of displaying 3D images, which eliminates the potential for significant refresh and delay issues

Depth of field and focus

The AutoAdjust feature ensures that visualization is optimized for the surgical situation, whether the operation takes place in digital or hybrid mode, or in the anterior or the posterior chamber.

Optics

The DigitalOptics allow for operating with reduced light intensity, preventing issues of phototoxicity. This allows the surgeon to modify the light source, a stereo-coaxial illumination, mimicking what is most familiar while keeping a real color impression for increased certainty.  

Real-time overlay

The ability to overlay data such as preoperative biometry, surgical tracking and intraoperative OCT in real time, for critical decision-making during surgery without blocking the surgical field is the most outstanding feature that masters the surgery.

Ergonomics and teamwork

The surgeon requires 3D polarized glasses for precision stereopsis, which are comfortable and reduces hunching and neck and back pain endured by conventional microscope. The visualization gets the entire team involved and is excellent for teaching, because everyone has the surgeon`s view.

 

Notification

Potential concerns of the device:

- Mastering the digital microscope takes time and experience for surgeons after transition from the traditional microscope.

- Higher maintenance cost
