Five cameras in one - The worlds first multipurpose probe

The Microvision medical camera utilises a revolutionary new handpiece design supporting removable 'Snap-On' probes. This allows the operator to switch between probes such as otoscopes, intra-oral probes, full face probes, dermatology probes and Ophthalmoscopes along with surgical endoscopes in a matter of seconds. All conventional medical endoscopes with standard BSE oculars can be connected to the system using the special 'endoscope adapter'. This also negates the need for additional light sources as the light connection comes from the camera module through the adapter.

Rugged design for use in remote locations

The portable Imaging Case is designed to be used in remote and harsh locations. It has also be designed to comply with airline 'carry on' baggage size requirements which means it can be easily transported to remote locations on small aircraft or taken on commercial airlines as 'hand carry' when required. The case and contents are designed to withstand rough treatment with all components protected by a custom foam insert.

Microvision medical camera

The Flexicase system has a removable Microvision medical camera module which is connected through a docking station for convenience and ease of use. Being removable, the camera module along with the probes can be carried between rooms and connected to any pre-wired docking station as required.

The Microvision medical camera module includes a super bright halogen light source along with the latest technology in micro electronics to guarantee brilliant, sharp images every time. The Microvision medical camera boasts the latest in digital 8-bit micro camera technology. A membrane keypad is used to adjust all of the image, color and contrast values in an 'on screen' process. The cameras light output can also be regulated smoothly. Individual color settings for intraoral and extraoral lenses can be set according to the specific probe in use and can also be stored in the cameras memory.

Image Examples.

The following images were taken through the Microvision Medical Camera using the standard Otoscope.

The medical camera is suitable for use with the patented Snap-On Otoscope probe, Face / Larynx probe, Ophthalmoscope probe, Dermatology probe, Dental probes along with all standard medical endoscopes in conjunction with the appropriate adapter. The tried and tested quick change device permits the lenses to be exchanged in a safe process with minimum wear.

The handpiece cradle on the medical camera enclosure ensures that the lens handpiece is positioned securely while controlling the automatic light control device at the same time. External handpiece cradles are also available depending on the type of integration required and can also be connected to the docking station.

Otoscope Probe with Focussing Ring

The Otoscope probe is designed to provide brilliant endoscopic images of both the ear and nasal cavities from small children to adults. The use of disposable speculae guarantee hygiene between patients. No additional light source is required as the illumination is supplied through the handpiece.

Ophthalmoscope Probe with Focussing Ring

The Ophthalmoscope probe is designed to provide brilliant images of retina for both large and small pupils. Choice of 5 apertures and 28 lenses from -35 to +20D. Select fixation star or cobalt blue filters for corneal examination. No additional light source is required as the illumination is supplied through the handpiece.

Mouth / Face probe with light intensity adjustment

For extraoral images of the whole face, preoperative rhinoplasty views of the nose and mouth, images of the tonsils, cleft palates and intraoral lesions. A turning light ring ensures homogeneous illumination and facilitates manual focusing. The lighting intensity can also be individually regulated via a slit diaphragm. Focus range: macro to infinite.

Dermatology Probe

For diagnosing and recording external skin conditions with available magnifying coefficients of x20, x45, x80 & x150. Complete with focus adjustment, the probe can be setup for surface magnification or for viewing into cavities or wounds up to 10mm deep. Removable light diffusing tips ensure hygiene between patients. For use with or without oils.

Endoscope Adapter

For all purpose adaptation to commercially available brand name medical endoscopes such as Aesculap, Schoelly & Storz. External light source will be required for the endoscope.

90°- Dental Probe

For intra-oral side conforming images of the dental cavity. Slender 9 mm probe with a focal range from 8-45mm. The aperture angle of 60° ensures brilliant three dimensional images of 1 to 5 teeth at a magnifying coefficient of up to 25x. Due to the slender design and wide focal range, the probe is ideally suited to areas of the mouth which are difficult to approach.

105°- All Purpose Focussing Dental probe

An all purpose focusable interchangeable lens for side oriented intra-oral and extra-oral images. Can be quickly adjusted to suit operator via a quick focusing system with defined ( notched ) working ranges and can also be adjusted individually with a focal range of 2mm to infinity.

Microscope Adapter

For connection to any commercially available prophylactics microscope via an individual ocular adapter or to special surgical microscopes ( e.g. Zeiss ) via a C-Mount thread adaptation.

Mucosal Probe

For diagnosing aphthae, alterations of the gingiva and the mucous membrane and for microscopic images of dental enamel, fillings, carious spots. Special lens system with a magnifying coefficient of 50x and quick acting focus adjustment (lens accessory with a defined fixed distance). Your advantage: quick focusing at an unchanging lateral amplification.
