- Light Post: Connects to a fiber-optic light cable for illumination.
- Camera Adapter (optional): For attaching to a video system.
- Direction of View: Varies by model – typically 0°, 30°, 70°, or 90°.
Advantages:
- High-definition visualization,
- Minimally invasive access,
- Compatible with video recording systems,
- Allows precise surgical interventions.
Maintenance and Care:
- Handle delicately to avoid lens damage;
- Clean immediately after use (manual or ultrasonic);
