Leica Tooltracking - "Follow Me" function
Surgical Microscopes
Tooltracking tracks and fossuses the microscope exactly to the ROI (Region of Interest) where the surgeon works. In combination with the tool tracking capabilities of the IGS system the optical axis and focal plane of the microscope follows in any lateral relevant direction the tip of a defined navigated tool (forceps, coagulator etc.).
Advantage:
Handfree control of the surgical microscope.
As the microscope is continuously following each movement of the surgical instrument, manually repositioning or focussing is no longer necessary. No button on the handles or footswitch has to be pushed or activated. This consequently leads to more concentration on the essential: the surgery itself.

This new robotic function is available for the Leica M525 OH4, the Leica M525 MS3 in combination with the recently launched new navigation system Vector Vision 7.0 of BrainLAB. It can be loaded into existing M500N & M520 installations as well.
