Precise diagnostics doesn't require unnecessary complexity. The Kaps SOM series has been the standard in ENT practices for decades. It combines German workmanship with a functional design that fits seamlessly into everyday practice. Whether for quick routine exams or minor outpatient procedures, this microscope is a reliable partner.
ENT examinations are a daily routine but require individual flexibility. The SOM brings this versatility into the examination room: optics that sharply detail the smallest features in the ear canals. A mechanism that can be positioned with minimal effort. And a construction designed for durability.
This system is aimed at ENT practitioners looking for an uncomplicated yet highly precise examination tool. The various mounting options on the wall, ceiling, or directly on the treatment unit make it the ideal solution for practices with limited space.
Thanks to its modular construction, the SOM remains a future-proof investment. Upgrades for video documentation or more modern lighting systems can often be retrofitted even years later, preserving the device's value in the long term.

Kaps Variflex-100 Lens
Different examination situations require different distances. The Variflex-100 lens provides the necessary flexibility for this.
Variable focus without changing the lens With a focal length ranging from 220 mm to 320 mm, the Variflex covers almost all ENT examination scenarios. A quick adjustment is sufficient for switching between overview and detailed shot.
Compact design height Unlike conventional vario systems, the Variflex-100 is extremely compact. It does not affect ergonomics and maintains the usual short working distance to the patient.
Integrated lens protection The system features an integrated protection that preserves the high-quality optics from contamination. This is an important detail to ensure long-term image quality in practice.

Modular LED Upgrade
Light is the most important tool for ENT doctors. The SOM can be updated to the latest standard at any time.
Future-Proof Lighting Technology Many older SOM models still use halogen light. The Kaps LED upgrade modernises your practice: daylight-like colours and increased brightness with minimal energy consumption significantly improve visibility quality.
Easy Retrofitting in Existing Equipment The upgrade is designed for straightforward retrofitting to existing devices. This allows your proven mechanics to benefit from the most modern lighting technology without the need for a new investment.
Quiet and Cool As LEDs generate very little heat, no active cooling by fans is required. This creates a calm atmosphere in the treatment room and increases patient comfort during examinations close to the head.

The All-rounder for the ENT Practice
Crystal-clear Detail View
The optics provide a three-dimensional image with impressive depth of field. This is essential for the accurate assessment of inflammations or tissue changes in the ENT area.
Ergonomic Work Comfort
The design supports an upright, back-friendly posture. The flexible choice of tubes effectively prevents physical tension during a long working day.
Space-saving Integration
The SOM series offers the appropriate stand solution for every space. Wall mounting or integration into a treatment unit particularly ensures maximum freedom of movement in daily practice.
Virtually Indestructible Mechanics
A Kaps SOM is an investment for decades. The high-quality metal casing and robust joints withstand intensive use and require only minimal maintenance.
