The HDMD PRO is a complete medical recording and documentation system that can capture High Definition video and images from two sources at up to 1080p 60fps, capture digital images without interruption of video capture, and store the captured media with patient information. It can duplicate captured videos and images to portable media, network storage, iOS and Android devices, and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) for documentation, storage, and presentation.
In neurosurgery it can be difficult to distinguish different types of tissue even with the outstanding optics of a premium surgical microscope. Visualization with a fluorescence module such as the FL400 can aid differentiation as fluorophores are absorbed in different amounts by different tissue types.
Visualizing certain anatomical and physiological features during neurosurgery can be challenging under white light or near infrared ICG fluorescence.
The FL560 fluorescence module enables simultaneous, real-time observation of both non-fluorescent tissue and fluorescent areas, with clear differentiation and contrast.
The proprietary FL560 filter from Leica Microsystems was designed to effectively separate fluorescence excitation light and the observation spectrum. When combined with premium Leica microscope optics, the result is a single real-time view of anatomy and fluorophores with clear differentiation and high contrast.
A ruptured cerebral aneurysm is the third most common cause of death in industrial countries.
With the Leica FL800, for intra-operative fluorescence-aided videoangiography, surgeons can now determine the patency of vessels.
During surgery, the patient is injected intravenously with ICG (indocyanine green) dye, which is well tolerated and spreads quickly. A near infrared camera then shows the bloodstream in black-and-white directly through the surgical microscope eyepieces and/or on a video monitor.
