OPMI VARIO 700 Microscope - Applications

Next Steps

“With its long arm, it is very useful in small ORs as you just need to position the microscope only once and still reach different positions, for example, the left or right ear.”

Clinical Applications

Uncompromising clinical versatility.

Designing a multidisciplinary surgical microscope presented some interesting challenges. Our answer was to start with a revolutionary new modular design. At the heart of OPMI VARIO 700 is a versatile core platform incorporating technological and ergonomic innovations that would universally benefit all surgical specialties. Upon this platform, surgeons can specify the features and technologies they need to create a custom, best-of-breed surgical scope that meets their specific personal and clinical needs. The result is a high-performance surgical microscope that provides a personalized fit while uncompromisingly meeting the challenges of spine, ENT, plastic & reconstructive and cranial surgeries.
