Routine procedures

Between straightforward diagnostics and complex operations lies a broad spectrum of outpatient procedures. Paracenteses, grommet insertions, foreign body removals, or small biopsies are part of daily life in many ENT practices and day clinics. These procedures require a surgical microscope that is quick to set up, operates reliably, and offers the surgeon optimal visibility without disrupting the workflow.

Efficiency in Outpatient Surgery Routine

Outpatient procedures thrive on efficiency. The patient is positioned on the treatment chair, preparations are complete, and now every second counts. A good surgical microscope integrates seamlessly into this workflow. It is ready when needed and moves aside when the next patient arrives.

In procedures such as a paracentesis, the incision on the eardrum must be precise to the millimetre. The magnification provides a clear view of the structures, and the lighting fully illuminates the ear canal. The surgeon works calmly and with focus, with both hands free for the instruments. Within minutes, the procedure is completed, the microscope is moved aside, and the patient can get up.

The value of a good microscope is also evident when removing foreign objects from the nose or ear. Children often insert small objects into body openings, and retrieving these requires precision and a perfect view. With the right magnification and lighting, a potentially difficult procedure becomes a controlled routine.

Quick Setup

Only minutes often pass between procedures. The recommended microscopes can be repositioned and made ready for use in seconds.

Compact Design

Outpatient operating rooms are rarely spacious. The slim design of Kaps microscopes saves space without compromising on performance.

Reliability

In everyday practice, technology must work without lengthy maintenance intervals or complicated calibrations. Karl Kaps microscopes are built for continuous use.

Easy Operation

Intuitive adjustment options mean a short training period. Even practice staff can easily prepare the microscope for the next procedure.

Expandable

If the practice's surgical spectrum expands, the microscope grows with it. Camera adapters, assistant scopes or LED upgrades can be retrofitted at any time.

SOM 22 / SOM 32 / SOM 62

The SOM series offers the ideal balance between functionality and cost-effectiveness for outpatient procedures. The 5-position magnification changer allows for rapid switching between overview and detailed view. The cold light or LED lighting provides sufficient brightness for all standard procedures. The various mounting options (wall, ceiling, mobile stand) adapt to any room situation.

Technical key data SOM 22/32/62:

  • Magnification: 5-position apochromatic changer, optional 1:6 zoom

  • Lighting: Cold light 15V/150W or integrated LED

  • Swivel tube: 0-210° for ergonomic working position

  • Fine focusing: Optional up to 40mm

  • Green filter: Swing-in for vessel representation

Pro ENT Manual

For practices with a higher surgical workload, the Pro ENT in its manual version is recommended. The 5-fold magnification changer or optional 1:6 zoom, combined with the apochromatic optics, delivers razor-sharp images. The compact design allows for a short working distance to the operating field. The mobile floor stand can be easily moved between treatment rooms.
