Haag-Streit launches METIS: the complete ophthalmic surgical control center
Haag-Streit is proud to introduce METIS, its cutting-edge ophthalmic microscope system.
Superior optical experience
The METIS microscope brings Haag-Streit’s renowned optics into the operating room, ensuring exceptional clarity and precision during ophthalmic surgeries. Featuring a brilliant coaxial red reflex, METIS delivers stable and bright visualization, even under low-light conditions, ideal for procedures like capsulorhexis and capsular polishing. The system's optimized optics guarantee accurate color reproduction, high light transmission, and a large depth of field.
Ergonomics and efficient control
Designed with the surgeon’s comfort in mind, METIS re-envisions outstanding ergonomics and efficiency through motorized tilt, intuitive controls, and a compact design that maximizes space and movement. Surgeons can easily control tilt, filter, focus, and zoom with hand or foot switches, with wireless control of up to 14 functions, streamlining procedures and improving comfort during long surgeries.
Glaucoma positioning
METIS offers complete control of glaucoma positioning, allowing surgeons to activate the motorized tilt at the touch of a button for effortless adjustment of the viewing angle. An innovative adaptation to the binoculars enables smooth, one-handed repositioning with a sterile cover, ensuring a streamlined and efficient workflow during MiGS procedures, without compromising on speed or safety.
High-resolution 4K visualization
The METIS features integrated 4K video, delivering superb color, clarity, and detail for all surgical procedures. The 27” touchscreen monitor is ergonomically positioned for optimal workflow, enabling real-time collaboration and easy documentation.
Future-proof and modular
The modular structure of METIS allows easy upgrades, such as 3D heads-up displays, providing flexibility for future needs. This adaptability ensures METIS remains a future-proof investment, allowing surgeons to evolve their setup as new advancements become available.
Extra benefits for surgical specialists
In addition, the METIS offers sustainable LED illumination, reducing heat and energy consumption while providing the most efficient light source available. Other features include an assistant microscope for collaborative learning, wide-angle fundus visualization for clear views, and the Microscope Imaging and Operation System (MIOS 6) with its simple-to-operate dashboard and intuitive menus.
‘Sneak preview’ of the new METIS microscope
At the 42nd Congress of the ESCRS in Barcelona, Haag-Streit will showcase the METIS ophthalmic microscope at booth 7.C66 for the first time. Mike Luley, Director of Global Strategy and Business Development, Visualization at Haag-Streit, said: “This innovative microscope brings together over a century of optical expertise with advanced workflow efficiency and superior ergonomics. Every feature of the METIS has been thoughtfully developed to provide surgeons with the precise control and exceptional user experience they expect from Haag-Streit.”
