The digital, camera-based exoscope displays a real-time, magnified 4K image of the surgical field on a monitor. With the ability to switch into near-infrared imaging using indocyanine green, the device helps reveal information invisible to the naked eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Rubina Lens is designed for real-time tissue perfusion assessment, lymphatic mapping, and breast surgery, and can be used in any open surgical procedure in which near-infrared imaging with indocyanine green may support intraoperative decision making. By integrating directly with existing KARL STORZ IMAGE1 S Rubina imaging platforms, the Rubina Lens enables surgical teams to expand fluorescence capabilities without additional capital investment. The exoscope can be used handheld or mounted on a holding arm, providing flexibility across surgical settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fernando Morales, Vice President of Surgical and OR Integration at KARL STORZ United States, said the Rubina Lens extends real-time fluorescence visualization into open surgery, integrating seamlessly with existing operating room platforms. He noted that it enables surgeons to incorporate near-infrared imaging into open procedures without unnecessary complexity or workflow burden. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Already approved for use in markets outside the United States, the Rubina Lens brings proven near-infrared imaging technology to U.S. surgeons performing open procedures, addressing the need for consistent visualization across surgical approaches. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARL STORZ has received FDA clearance for the Rubina Lens exoscope for open surgery, a digital camera-based device that displays real-time magnified 4K images and enables near-infrared imaging using indocyanine green to support intraoperative decision-making.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39952,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,488,25,677],"tags":[116,687],"class_list":["post-39951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-americas","category-breaking-news","category-products-technologies","category-surgical","tag-endoscopes","tag-fda"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39951"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39957,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39951\/revisions\/39957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/g-medtech.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
