The Future of Endoscopic Visualization Systems… Now
Richard Wolf
Germany
Richard Wolf GmbH is taking image quality in endoscopy to a whole new level with sophisticated technology for pin sharp 4K resolution. The precisely coordinated system components guarantee realistic image reproduction. At the same time, the system is energy-efficient, ergonomic and compact. Intelligent processing algorithms, referred to as Special Imaging Modes (SIM), allow structures that are difficult to discern to be rendered more clearly.
4K means a resolution of at least 3840 x 2160 pixels, four times that of the existing HD standard. To get this pixel power on the road, Richard Wolf is effectively pooling its areas of expertise: telescope, light, signal processing and the latest production technology are merging to create a solution from a single source.
Full-endoscopic spine surgery
RIWOspine
Germany
The VERTEBRIS lumbar instrument set is designed for full-endoscopic decompression of the lumbar and thoracic spine. Typical indications include herniated discs, spinal cysts and spinal canal stenoses.
The following approaches can be done full-endoscopically:
- Transforaminal
- Extraforaminal
- Interlaminar
The excellent optical properties of VERTEBRIS disko-scopes are the basis for intraoperative visualization and guide special instruments into the intraoperative area.
The benefits of the technique are:
- Low scarring
- Low risk of infection
- Extensive preservation of all anatomical structures and mobility
- Fastest post-operative recovery

Diamond Operating Table: A Class of its Own…
Schmitz und Soehne
Germany
Awarded the “red dot” for its high quality design, The DIAMOND surgical table from Schmitz und Soehne GmbH redefines a new dimension for surgical tables… Heavy-weight patients can be easily operated on safely, as the DIAMOND is able to support a load of 360 kg in all positions…
- Radiolucent table-top with stainless steel table frame construction, sandblasted, electropolished and disinfection-proof.
- Electromotive adjustment of the prevalent table functions as well as the back rest, the leg plates and the leg supports allow an anatomically correct and comfortable patient positioning and intra-operative modifications on the position.
- Optimal height-adjustment with its telescopic column which allows short and tall surgeons to work comfortably.
- Surgeons enjoy plenty of leg room thanks to an ergonomically shaped lower section.
- Hydraulic and electrical override to ensure continuous functioning of the table in any scenario.
- Longitudinal and latitudinal adjustment of table-top to fine-tune table settings.
- Chassis with 4 double castors, central-locking for great stability, firmness and exceptional safety.
- 5th spring-loaded directional castor for ease-of-manoeuver.
Four batteries on system to supply sufficient energy for well over 100 surgical interventions. - Bluetooth “no-touch” wireless hand-held (or foot-pedal) control unit.
Your Spine Positioning Suite
Allen Medical – Hill Rom
USA
The Allen Advance Table is a specialist table for complex surgical procedures for use with patients up to 600 lbs (272 kg). It offers radiolucency through the whole working length of the table. For surgeries that require the patient to be re-positioned from supine to prone or vice versa whilst still anesthetized, it rotates through 360°. It has been designed with improved safety features specifically related to the surgical top’s connection to the table, helping to avoid accidentally dropping the surgical top if the incorrect pin is pulled. In addition, this solution has the caregivers’ requirements in mind, offering a more modern and intuitive user interface along with convenience features such as central locking, EZ-Roll castors and numbered H-Brackets for improved communication.

Cyber TM: Faster, Safer, Smarter BPH Treatment
Quanta System
Italy
Among the different alternatives for treating Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia BPH, drug treatments and microwave therapies have presented solutions that need weeks to take effect and sometimes fail to provide the desired outcome. Trans Urethral Resection of the Prostate TURP has become the golden standard for treating BPH but still it implicates an extended recovery time and hospital stay and may induce significant blood loss and complications like TURP syndrome. Unlike other LASERs which induce deep thermal necrosis and consequently unwanted side effects, the CYBER TM from Quanta Systems. SPA offers today’s urologist an effective, safe and versatile tool for treating BPH with immediate effect, long lasting outcomes that are as effective as TURP but with less complications, the patient can go home the same day often without even a catheter…
Water being the chromophore of the CYBER TM wavelength with one of the highest absorption rates of this high power LASER, vaporization maintains continuous effect, it is fast and precise while optical penetration stays real low (less than 0.2 mm). At the same time, this solution is highly efficient: on one hand, it reduces OR time and on the other hand, it is very affordable seen its low running costs compared to other LASER technologies.
Finally this solution is versatile. It is multidisciplinary, its learning curve is one of the shortest and within BPH treatment it is the only one to offer the surgeon the free choice between three LASER techniques of vaporization, vapo-resection and vapo-enucleation for an optimal individual treatment.
