Highest Standards for Optics and Precision

The dimensions in the middle ear surpass human imagination. The stapes, the smallest bone, measures merely three millimetres. The structures involved in a stapedectomy are barely visible to the naked eye. This is where the wheat is separated from the chaff: only a microscope with exceptional optics and perfect lighting allows for safe operations in these dimensions.

In tympanoplasty, the eardrum is reconstructed or a graft is inserted. The surgeon must meticulously refresh the edges of the defect, precisely place the graft, and facilitate healing. The magnification reveals every millimetre of the eardrum in razor-sharp detail, and the coaxial lighting illuminates the ear canal in depth.

Cholesteatoma surgery poses even higher demands. A cholesteatoma, a proliferating skin growth in the middle ear, must be completely removed without damaging vital structures such as the facial nerve. The motorised zoom allows for rapid switching between an overview and maximum magnification, while the optional diaphragm ensures the necessary depth of field.
