M822 Ophthalmic microscope Images with natural colors, high sharpness and contrast are essential for successful ophthalmic surgery. With the Leica Microsystems ophthalmic surgical microscope M822, you will always have a clear view in both anterior and posterior eye surgery thanks to the optimal imaging based on the highest quality Leica optics and the dual illumination system. The M822 is designed with your comfort in mind, offering a range of ergonomic binocular tubes to adapt the microscope to your body shape. In addition, the M822 is versatile and interfaces with a wide range of viewing systems and accessories to help you perform a wide range of eye operations. With dedicated microscope functions for smooth set-up and operation, the M822 will allow you to work very efficiently with your team, especially during set-up between operations. Pre-programmed settings and special functions help you perform precise and safe eye operations over and over again, ensuring uninterrupted workflow. Working with a bright and stable red reflex You can rely on an incredibly stable red reflex of impressive quality at all stages of cataract surgery. The OttoFlex coaxial illuminator from Leica Microsystems has been designed to ensure that the smallest fragments are clearly visible, especially when working in low light. Even if the patient’s eye moves during surgery, for example during phacoemulsification, the red reflex remains stable. What does direct lighting mean? Leica ophthalmic microscopes, such as the M822, have the light source directly in the optical holder. In many other systems, the light source is built into the microscope stage and the light is guided to the scope holder via optical cables. What are the advantages of direct lighting? > Low maintenance costs: Fibre optics can lose light intensity over time, as the fibres can break due to movement. No fibre optics means less money spent. > Low light levels: Thanks to the light source very close to the operating field and the high transmission of the Leica optics, surgeons can keep the light level low but still see clearly.
Low stress levels: Less light needed for eye surgery directly translates into more comfort for the patient and the surgeon.
A microscope for multiple procedures Using one microscope for cataract and vitreoretinal surgery is a cost-effective approach. The M822 can easily change from one set-up to another. It has mechanical and electronic interfaces to accept and easily attach a wide range of accessories – now and in the future. This flexibility can help improve workflow, support better surgical outcomes and allow new surgical techniques to be adapted. Ultimately, it is a sensible long-term investment. > RUV 800: retinal wide-angle viewing system with integrated inverter > BIOM 5 and SDI 4 from OCULUS: wide-angle viewing system and stereoscopic diagonal inverter > Toric EyePiece: cost-effective, easy-to-use, time-saving accessory for toric IOL placement > Keratoscope: A circular illuminator used intraoperatively to provide a qualitative assessment of corneal curvature and astigmatism Choose what best suits your needs Leica Microsystems offers two floor and one ceiling mount for the M822, so that you can choose the optimal device for your operating room. Easily record and share The M822 is designed to deliver exceptional image quality through both the eyepieces and the camera. When you connect the HD C100 medical video camera to the M822, you have the ideal system for capturing surgeries and displaying superb high-definition video. You can easily display the live image on an external monitor and additionally share the image with the whole operating team. You can also shoot and record images and videos in full HD quality and then export them to your computer. If you need to document operations in detail, you can use the M822 with the Med X Change EVO 4K video recording and documentation system developed by Med X Change.
