VEQTRON®​

BETTER PATIENT OUTCOME

ICG/NIR fluorescence imaging has become one of the most valuable technologies in minimally invasive surgery. Especially for intra-operative check of visceral perfusion, the visualisation of biliary structures or lymph node mapping.

VEQTRON® ICG/NIR Imaging System

  • Innovative 4 CMOS 4K technology
  • Super high fluorescence sensitivity
  • Standard White Light Mode, Standard Fluorescence Mode, ISO Fluorescence Mode and Multi-Display Mode
  • Technology which presents pictures rich in depth, texture and detail (3D effect)
  • Ultimate colour reproduction which brings true to life colour

VEQTRON® ICG/NIR Twinlight LED-LASER

  • LED and Laser light for use in standard white light as well as ICG/NIR light mode
  • Light intensity is infinitely variable, guaranteeing a consistently high quality of light
  • Adaptive light adjustment (in White Light and NIR Mode) –Light intensity is adjusted automatically to the distance between endoscope and tissue

VEQTRON® ICG/NIR FluorosQan

  • FluorosQan – handheld camera for open surgery
  • Latest 4 CMOS technology enhances visualization of tissue perfusion in real-time
  • Standard White Light Mode, Standard Fluorescence Mode, ISO Fluorescence Mode and Multi-Display Mode
  • Allowing real-time lymphatic system tracking, tissue perfusion observation and accurate tumor boundary mapping

FLUORESCENCE GUIDED SURGERY

Fluorescence refers to the ability of some atoms and molecules to absorb light at a particular wavelength (of excitation: Ex) and then to emit light of a longer wavelength during a short-lived emission (Em). This means:
  • Fluorescence allows us to assess blood flow in tissues very well, e.g. anastomosis visualization
  • In the case of tumors, a good visibility of the tumor boundery, so that an exact removal is possible without opening the tumor. The risk of tumor cells spreading in the situs is significantly reduced
  • Less stress for the staff in the clinics. Cost and time savings
  • Metastases become visible
  • Visualization of the lymphatics are possible
  • Presentation of the choledochus
  • Elaborate marking with radio markers is not necessary, therefore less burden for the patient
  • Visualization of the anastomosis in oesophageal carcinoma
  • Various other indications
As of today, we are still at the beginning of the possibilities for indications with fluorescence. Due to new innovative techniques, such as the hand-held camera, fluorescence will also become more and more important in open oncological surgical techniques, e.g. in the parathyroid gland (autofluorescence).

FOUR DIFFERENT DISPLAY MODES

VEQTRON Imaging System offers four different display modes without any lose of image

Standard White Light Mode

3-CMOS white light image which is used for all standard minimal invasive surgeries

Standard Fluorescence Mode

High-quality fluorescence image for detection of ICG

ISO Fluorescence Mode

Fluorescence and white light imagemerging for intensity tracking of ICG direction of flow

Multi-Display Mode

White Light, FluorescenceGreen, ISO Fluorescence and NIR black-white displayed at the same time with option to choose mode on main display

PRINCIPLE OF ICG

ICG enters circulatory and lymphatic system of human, via serosal, sub-mucosal injection of intravenously injection.
ICG bound with plasma proteins.
After receiving excitatin NIR light of 805-835 nm wavelength, fluorescence signal will be emitted.
