Five camera heads – tailored to meet your surgical routine
To accomodate different preferences and clinical requirements, the AlphaSMART system includes five distinct camera head models. Each variant is optimized for specific use cases:
4K UHD-NIR camera head –
Dual-mode imaging with 4K and near-infrared
This advanced camera head is equipped with the capacity to support both white light and NIR fluorescence imaging, thereby enabling real-time visualization of ICG-marked structures. It’s ideal for oncologic and vascular procedures where enhanced tissue differentiation is essential.
4K UHD camera head –
Capture every detail in ultra-high definition
This 4K UHD camera head, optimized for white light imaging, delivers exceptional image clarity and color fidelity, ideal for procedures where visual precision is critical. The integrated optical zoom allows for flexible framing, while the ergonomic design supports comfortable handling throughout long interventions.
Full HD camera head –
Reliable Full HD performance with optical zoom
The camera head is equipped with 1-chip Full HD technology and 2x optical zoom, which allows for sharp imaging and natural color reproduction in white light applications. It features three freely assignable control buttons and an integrated TV coupler, making it a versatile choice for everyday surgical use.
Full HD camera head Pendulum –
Flexible handling for focused performance
This Full HD camera head integrates high-resolution imaging with a pendulum-style design, thereby enhancing balance and handling, making it ideal for white light endoscopy. This camera head is particularly well-suited for surgeons who favor a more flexible and responsive feel during minimally invasive procedures.
Autoclavable Full HD camera head –
steam sterilization-ready
This Full HD camera head is tailored for white light applications and has been engineered to meet stringent hygiene standards. It is fully autoclavable and features a compact design without a TV coupler. This solution is particularly well-suited for facilities that must comply with stringent reprocessing protocols and value simplicity.
Mode selection directly on the camera head – Better vision for greater efficiency
With the freely assignable control buttons, you can select the function you need even more conveniently and intuitively. At the push of a button, AlphaSMART lets you see exactly what you want to use at any given time.
Combined with intelligent masking of distracting influences and the full use of image optimization options, this enables safer decisions and faster results – thanks to clear, focused image information.
