The Aesculap Aeos Robotic Digital Microscope
lets surgeons execute precision movements in
neurosurgery, spine, ENT and other procedures
through a multi-axis robotic arm. This heads-
up platform, which can be viewed by the entire
OR staff simultaneously, also provides
improved ergonomics for surgeons, who often
must contort their bodies in uncomfortable
positions while using traditional microscopes,
leading to potentially debilitating injuries over
time. The platform's customizable image
modes provide augmentation capabilities with-
out the need for an overlay, along with 3D
detail. Also included are fluorescent backlight-
ing and a 10x optical zoom that delivers full
resolution, regardless of magnification level.

Share PPE Love With Eye Surgery Patients
BVI Patient Packs are ready-to-use packages that include a
face mask, bouffant cap, shoe covers and an optional isola-
tion gown along with easy-to-understand patient instruc-
tions. The idea is to simplify implementation and communi-
cation of PPE protocols for both patients and staff during
COVID-19. The pack's eye-catching "I love you" sticker is
intended to instill confidence among nervous patients return-
ing to eye centers during the pandemic. BVI adds that the
packs can ease your center's burden of sourcing trustworthy
vendors for the right mix of FDA-approved ophthalmic PPE.

No More Waiting for Smoke to Clear
Olympus has become the exclusive distributor of
Alesi Surgical's Ultravision surgical smoke control
system in the U.S. Ultravision, which has received
FDA 510(k) clearance for use in laparoscopic and
open surgery, suppresses aerosolization of surgical
smoke and mist using the highly characterized
process of electrostatic precipitation. Olympus says
Ultravision has been independently shown to
remove particulates as small as 0.007μm — small-
er than any known virus — from the atmosphere,
without the need for CO
2
exchange. The result is
improved visibility with less smoke in the visual
field and reduced patient CO
2
exposure. There's
also no need to pause procedures while waiting for
smoke to clear, removing and replacing CO
2
gas or
cleaning the camera lens.
