User manual LEICA M5

[. . . ] A simple to use joystick on either hand grip activates the motorized tilt and inclination (XY) of the Leica M5 optics carrier. If desired, one of the joysticks can be defined to control the Leica Dual Imaging or any IGS navigation system. The concept For over 150 years, the Leica name has stood for outstanding optical quality. Outstanding features of the Leica M525 optical platform such as optimum image contrast, clear imaging, color fidelity and image sharpness are now combined with a selection of floor and ceiling mounts that meet the varied requirements of neurosurgery, spinal column surgery and otolaryngology. The Leica M5 combines an easy to handle floorstand design with electromagnetic movement in six axes and robotic movement in three axes. [. . . ] With the feature of electrically driven tilt and inclination movement, the Leica M5 is clearly placed above the standard of customary floor stands with six electro-magnetic brakes. Leica Design by Christophe Apothéloz Positioning The Leica M5 can be made even more compact by folding it together and requires very little floor space. Unfolding the system for placement around the operating table is simple and easy, as is the balancing. With the long range of the Leica M5, the stand fits perfectly into any surgical set up. The flexibility of the stand allows for many positioning options. The 100° swivel range allows it to easily reach even difficult positions. XY control For fine control, the motorized tilt and inclination of the Leica M5 optics carrier can be controlled by a joystick integrated into either handle. The speed of the movement can be easily adjusted at any time during the surgical procedure. The handle of the Leica M5 has a robust and ergonomic design that allows it to be easily controlled, even through a sterile drape. Tool tracking with IGS Tool Tracking In combination with the tool tracking capabilities of an IGS system, the microscope can track an instrument in the X, Y and focus axis. Move the instrument and the microscope follows without the surgeon touching the handle grips. "Hands free" movement with the Leica M5 and IGS Tool Tracking add a new dimension to the advancement of microsurgery. Precise movement Perfect balance A 150° tilt range, together with a highly compact optics carrier, ensures that the surgeon has comfortable positioning, even during complex procedures. The swing arm is automatically balanced at the touch of a button. Compatibility prepared for all data The Leica DI C500 allows the surgeon to input data from any external source such as MRI, CT, IGS, and endoscopes.
