Leica M651 MSD Surgical microscope on table stand

for practising microsurgery and for experimentation

Learn fresh operating techniquesPerfect existing ones Explore new avenues

The ever-growing number ofparticipants at microsurgicalcourses demonstrates howinterest in innovative opera-tional techniques is con-stantly on the increase. Inattempting to obtain maximumfunctionality from humanorgans, the specialist mustpenetrate the domain ofmicrosurgery. It needs a certain magnification to recognize and distinguish thestructures responsible for thevarious functions and tomanipulate them as the opera-tion requires.

Expertise and success reflecttraining and experience.

Without adequate instruction,it is hardly possible to makefull use of technical opportu-nities offered by the surgicalmicroscope.Only a properly-prepared,appropriately-trained surgeonis in position to use the instru-ment as an ancillary tool andto routinely translate its tech-nical features into benefits forthe patient.

Microsurgery requires not onlya thorough knowledge of thespeciality, but also a masteryof manual techniques and fullfamiliarity with the routine useof the microscope. Takingcosts and space conside-rations into account, the besttraining instrument is a tablemodel equipped with the sameoptics and accessories as thestandard surgical microscope.

A crisp and brillant image, andergonomic viewing and sittingconditions, are extremely im-portant when the surgeon islearning to use the microsco-pical image as an operatingtool.

Take up the challenge!

Outstanding image qualitymotivates you to learn theskills you need

The Leica M651 is renownedfor its clear, outstandingly-sharp images, its great depthof field, its pronounced 3Deffect, its high light intensityand its faithful colour render-ing.These are all ideal conditionsfor becoming used to adaptinghand movements to the new,unfamiliar image as seendown the microscope, diffe-rentiating between minusculefeatures, and learning to usethe finest surgical threadavailable.

Effective microsurgical training– the step into the future

Leica M651 –the surgical microscope for courses

The table model of the well-know Leica M651 is ideal fortrying out new techniques, andis suitable both for the begin-ner to microsurgery and forexperts who are on refreshercourses. The outfit is uncom-plicated and is competitivelypriced.

Fatigue-free viewing heigh-tens the ability to concentrate

The compact, ergonomicdesign of the Leica M651, andthe use of the binocular tubewith low viewing height,together provide the relaxedviewing position required. Abinocular tube with viewingangle variable from 00–1800 isalso available.

Dual-station viewing promo-tes mutual understanding

It is particularly important forthe course leader to be able toinstruct each participant indi-vidually and to carry outpractical demonstrations. TheLeica M651 can of course beequipped with the usualaccessories for dual-stationviewing, photography andvideo.
