Intraoperative Fluorescence<br />

Surgical fluorescence: The study of<br />

fluorescence microscopy has a long<br />

tradition at <strong>Leica</strong> <strong>Microsystems</strong>, dating<br />

back to the beginning of the 20th century.<br />

An indispensable component in biological<br />

research, fluorescence science is now an<br />

integral part of the surgical workflow to<br />

improve the patient’s quality of life.<br />

Fluorescence technologies provide intraoperative information<br />

to the surgeon and OR team, directly through the microscope<br />

eyepieces or on a monitor. The information gained allows the<br />

surgeon to make faster progress in work, increase surgical<br />

precision, and improve patient outcomes. Switching between<br />

white light and fluorescence mode requires only the push of a<br />

button on the hand grip or foot control. The <strong>Leica</strong> <strong>M720</strong> <strong>OH5</strong><br />

is well prepared for new and future types of surgical<br />

fluorescence, with a selectable third fluorescence mode.<br />

Oncological Fluorescence<br />

<strong>Leica</strong> FL400* intraoperative module is<br />

used in conjunction with 5-ALA<br />

fluorescent agent to show tumor cells,<br />

and thus enables much higher accuracy<br />

with tumor resection.<br />

Vascular Fluorescence<br />

<strong>Leica</strong> FL800* intraoperative videoangiography<br />

module is used in conjunction<br />

with ICG fluorescent agent and allows<br />

surgeons to see blood flow through<br />

vessels in real time during surgery.<br />

* Please check the status of <strong>Leica</strong> FL400<br />

and <strong>Leica</strong> FL800 regulatory approval<br />

for your country with your local<br />

<strong>Leica</strong> <strong>Microsystems</strong> representative.<br />
