Leica Microsystems launches the Proveo 8, the core of a new ophthalmic microscope platform for cataract and vitreoretinal surgeries at the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Annual Meeting 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada (US).
Ophthalmic surgeons cannot treat what they cannot see. Thus, Leica Microsystems designed their new Proveo platform to deliver what an ophthalmic surgeon needs to perform a broad spectrum of ophthalmic procedures.
To deliver a red reflex and an image during ophthalmic procedures, the Proveo 8 is equipped with FusionOptics and CoAx4 Illumination. FusionOptics is a Leica exclusive technology that combines 40% increased depth of field with high resolution, providing surgeons with a texture-rich image from the edges of a detached membrane to the periphery of the retina, without refocusing. Another Leica-exclusive feature, CoAx4 Illumination, delivers light through four individual beam paths and allows for adjustment of the illumination diameter. This results in constant red reflex and high-contrast visualization.
The Proveo has been designed to integrate innovative surgical technologies like IOL guidance systems for IOL positioning, intraoperative OCT to observe ocular tissue microstructures, or 3D "heads-up" surgery. The integrated yet modular design also allows upgrades.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Annual Meeting 2015 in Las Vegas will take place 14–17 November 2015.
