The ZEISS Pentero 800 S represents the pinnacle of surgical visualization technology in the Pentero family. Designed to support advanced neurosurgery, spine surgery, ENT, and reconstructive procedures, the 800 S model combines legendary ZEISS apochromatic optics with fully integrated digital imaging, ergonomic control, and real-time surgical intelligence. As the most advanced iteration in the Pentero series—surpassing the Pentero Classic, 900, and 800—the 800 S sets a new benchmark in working distance, visualization depth, and intraoperative adaptability.
Key Features and Benefits
- APO Optics with 4K 3D Imaging: Combines ZEISS’s renowned optical clarity with dual 4K 3D cameras for ultra-precise digital visualization.
- Hybrid Visualization System: Switch seamlessly between optical and digital views for ergonomic flexibility and surgical precision.
- QEVO® Micro-Inspection Tool: Delivers “around-the-corner” views of hidden structures without repositioning, ideal for deep or complex fields.
- Depth+ Mode: Enhances depth of field, delivering a sharply focused image across multiple planes—especially valuable for deep-corridor procedures.
- Resolution Enhancer: Offers up to 60% greater magnification and 50% improved resolution to support submillimeter precision.
- Xenon Illumination: 300-watt xenon light source delivers bright, shadow-free, high-fidelity illumination for complex vascular and tumor cases.
- Electromagnetic Braking & Auto-Balance: Smooth microscope positioning with surgeon-controlled joystick or footswitch for precise maneuverability.
