Jena, Germany-based Zeiss says Kinevo 900 S offers high-quality digital visualization, collaborative assistant functions and connected intelligence. It designed the platform to offer more clarity for complex neurosurgery procedures and for other surgical disciplines.
The latest offering builds upon the original Kinevo 900 platform released in 2017 by Zeiss.
“The new system presents a (r)evolution of the market benchmark Zeiss Kinevo 900 and offers all current benefits,” said Magnus Reibenspiess, head of the Microsurgery strategic business unit at Zeiss Medical Technology. “Developed with and for customers, Zeiss Kinevo 900 S meets the growing needs of neurosurgery.”
Kinevo 900 S delivers state-of-the-art 4K 3D digital image quality, helping to visualize small anatomical landmarks and tissue color. Its new DepthPro Mode provides a greater depth of field selection as well.
Zeiss says the system’s hybrid visualization concept enables an uninterrupted surgical workflow and enhances ergonomics. It also supports surgeons in their precise procedures with exoscopic approaches.
According to the company, the Kinevo 900 S platform helps foster a working partnership with the surgeon through collaborative robotics, or cobotics, supported by AI.
Robotic movement functions like PointLock and PositionMemory also allow for effortless positioning during system use. Kinevo 900 S has a new AutoCenter function that brings currently-treated tissue into the center of the field of view. This optimizes illumination and visualization, all through an AI-trained algorithm.
The company also delivers access to its digital solutions to simplify data management and facilitate collaboration and education. It has apps like the Zeiss Surgical Cloud and Zeiss Live Stream to enable efficient storage, sharing and direct streaming of clinical cases in real time.
“With the Kinevo 900 S, Zeiss has raised the bar for state-of-the-art operating microscopes for neurosurgery. It exceeded my expectations,” said Dr. Julius Höhne, neurosurgeon at Klinikum Nürnberg (Germany).
