HOPKINS ® Telescopes for Cardiac Surgery
In video-assisted mitral valve surgery, 30° telescopes with a diameter of 5 mm or 10 mm are in
standard use. For endoscopic atrial ablation, most surgeons use 0° telescopes. In critical situations
or in patients with unusual anatomies, the ENDOCAMELEON ® offers additional safety.
• Variety of rigid HOPKINS ® Telescopes in sizes 5 mm or 10 mm and different
lengths (e.g., mitral valve surgery or atrial ablation)
• ENDOCAMELEON ® offers extra safety thanks to variable direction of view
between 0° to 120° with panorama view
