Interview Key Highlights
According to Dr. Chatel, the Leica M530 OHX surgical microscope provides numerous benefits for oncological reconstructive surgery and free flap procedures. It is:
- Stable: making it possible to move around freely
- Ergonomic: helping the surgeon feel comfortable during the procedure and saving space in the Operating Room (OR)
- Easy to use: allowing simple set-up, based on pre-configured settings
Dr. Chatel points out that, with the Leica M530 OHX surgical microscope, the surgeon has a wide field of view throughout the procedure. There is no need to move or reposition the camera, even with a large flap. The focus and zoom perfectly meet the needs of flap surgery, providing a sharp and bright image. In addition, the smart illumination features automatically optimize light intensity, while protecting patient skin and tissue.
