Share your most interesting cases instantly with remote audiences. The Advanced Visualization System offers a multitude of options to assist you during reconstructive surgery, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness.

Visual Certainty

with extended optical capabilities

During supermicrosurgery, for example when performing a lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA), you need to visualize and manipulate even the smallest vessels, often measuring less than 0.5 mm. ZEISS PENTERO 800 S provides you with Visual Certainty through extended optical capabilities, including highest resolution. Alongside the Resolution Enhancer, it features intraoperative fluorescence imaging with ZEISS INFRARED 800 – supporting your clinical decisions in complex procedures and advancing the field of reconstructive surgery.

  • Resolution Enhancer

    for outstanding clarity in supermicrosurgery

    When performing surgery on delicate anatomical structures, such as vascularized lymph node transfers (VLNT) or lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA), even the smallest details can make a significant difference.

    ZEISS PENTERO 800 S enhances your confidence in performing such procedures by delivering additional clarity at the submillimeter level. To reliably visualize even the finest structures at high magnification levels, bright and outstanding image quality without blurring effects is essential. These needs are met by the Resolution Enhancer of ZEISS PENTERO 800 S. Its optimized ratio between a high level of resolution and matching magnification allows you to zoom in closer on the application while increasing image quality.

  • How does the Resolution Enhancer work?

    Simply attach the unique Resolution Enhancer to the microscope head and instantly get 60% higher magnification and 50% higher resolution with at least 120 lp/mm.1 Exploit the full potential of maximized resolution – with the PENTERO 800 S from ZEISS.

    The Resolution Enhancer from ZEISS is exclusively available for ZEISS PENTERO 800 S. It has been specifically designed to support you in the most demanding applications in reconstructive surgery. Acting as an additional “mini” microscope, you can mount the Resolution Enhancer on ZEISS PENTERO 800 S when additional resolution and magnification are required. In all other cases, you retain the accustomed full-range of flexible visualization capabilities of the ZEISS Advanced Visualization System.

  • ZEISS INFRARED 800

    for intraoperative fluorescence imaging

    Ensuring drainage and blood supply to the tissue flaps are critical success factors in advanced reconstructive applications. Consequently, these procedures rely heavily on intraoperative visual feedback on flow to support immediate decision-making.

    The microscope-integrated indocyanine green (ICG) imaging technology INFRARED 800 from ZEISS enables real-time fluorescence-assisted assessment of flow after an anastomosis has been created. By visualizing vascular patency and perfusion of the grafted tissue as needed, ZEISS INFRARED 800 supports smooth surgical workflows in advanced reconstructive procedures.

  • ZEISS PENTERO 800 S Digital Hybrid Visualization

    Digital Hybrid Visualization

    to switch between exoscopic and optical mode

    ZEISS PENTERO 800 S enables you to leverage all the benefits of an exoscope with 4K 3D resolution while retaining access to the proven optics of an operating microscope at any time. With our unique hybrid approach, you can easily switch between digital and optical visualization on demand as needed for the respective step of the procedure. This gives you the full flexibility to choose your preferred method for optimized team communication, ergonomic posture, and free movement. All while relying on an excellent image quality with unrestricted depth information in every mode. Plus, you can significantly shorten your learning curve in exoscopic surgery by gradually introducing this new method in your cases.

ZEISS PENTERO 800 S Seamless Performance

Seamless Performance

with reinvented interactions

To achieve outstanding performance in reconstructive surgery, every move must be spot on – every day, case after case. Therefore, highly precise and intuitive control of the operating microscope is not only imperative but key to maintaining constant focus on the patient and application at hand.

For ZEISS PENTERO 800 S, we have optimized each and every device interaction alongside your clinical workflows and attuned it to your intuition. Additional application-specific functionalities such as ZoomMemory enable you to switch between different zoom levels easily. The combination of the innovative user interface with the characteristic weightless movability of the PENTERO system will make it your trusted partner for real efficiency and seamless collaboration in the OR in no time.

ZoomMemory

for fast switching between zoom levels

The ZoomMemory function will supercharge your efficiency in delicate stitching procedures, such as when performing lymphaticovenous anastomoses in reconstructive microsurgery. You can simply switch back and forth between the current zoom level and higher zoom during surgery with just one touch of the footswitch (or click of a button on the handgrip). This gives you a macro view for attaching the needle or tying the knot – and a micro view for placing the stitch.

ZoomMemory in clinical use

Sewing of lymphatic anastomosis (LVA)

See how Christian Taeger, MD, Private Clinic in Munich, Germany uses ZoomMemory during a supermicroscopic LVA intervention for lymphedema treatment on the lower limb. This function allows him to switch quickly between two zoom levels: micro view for stitching and macro view for knotting. He uses the footswitch to constantly keep focus on the surgical field and streamline his surgical workflow.

Effortless handling

to spend less time on each case

With our proven Contraves stand, the device feels completely weightless, so you can maneuver it effortlessly. This enables smooth and precise repositioning in all directions. At the same time, ZEISS PENTERO 800 S provides excellent stability for a steady view on delicate anatomy under high magnification, needed for supermicrosurgical approaches.

    To differentiate anatomical structures under high magnification, you need to differentiate between the different pixels captured by the visualization system. Just the number of pixels is not sufficient since lighter and darker pixels might not be seen separately if they are next to each other. Specifying resolution by spatial frequency, defined by the number of light and dark line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm) at a given contrast, is thus a more precise measure to evaluate how much information on fine anatomical structures is provided by the visualization system.
