Vitreoretinal surgery imaging system RUV800

optical

Overview
The Leica RUV800 is a panoramic retinal wide-angle viewing system with an integrated inverter. The device provides an upright view of the retina to the surgeon, assistant and camera across the surgical field while remaining removable for anterior segment procedures.

Key Features

• Integrated inverter – inverter built into the RUV800 body, no separate inverter required.
• Upright image for team – delivers the same upright view to surgeon, assistant and video monitor, facilitating instrument insertion and team coordination.
• Simple operation – swings into the microscope optical path with a small twist; focus lever(s) provide sharp, wide-angle retinal views.
• Loupe options – 132 diopter XLView loupe for a broad field or 90 diopter loupe for higher magnification.
• OR preparation – main unit may remain mounted; only loupe, focus lever and silicone sleeve require sterilization. AgProtect™ nano silver coating adds antibacterial properties.
• Ergonomic design – integrated inverter does not add stack height to the microscope, maintaining surgeon comfort.
• Removable for anterior surgery – can be removed after retinal procedures so the microscope is available for cataract and other anterior operations.

Clinical benefit summary

• Shared upright view improves situational awareness and instrument handling for the surgical team.
• Quick installation and removal enable flexible use between posterior and anterior segment procedures.
• Integrated design reduces system complexity and potential service requirements.
