An operating surgical microscope has introduced a new level of precision in the modern Ophthalmic surgeries by providing a magnified and illuminated high-quality image of the small ophthalmic structures. This technology continues to evolve. Here is your comprehensive guide to buying one.
Patient Comfort& Safety
This is a topmost priority. It is important to make sure that surgical microscope is equipped with advanced features, functionalities and everything required to contribute to patient’s comfort and safety. The high resolutionoptics is the key for image accuracy and hence is a prerequisite for successful surgeries. High-transmission optics facilitate patients’ and Surgeons’ comfort alike. The efficiency of the procedure is improved and valuable time is saved.
Moreover, Ergonomics accessories should allow the surgeons to reduce musculoskeletal strain. Surgical procedures involving low light level could be less stressful for the surgeons’ and patients’ eyes. An optimal visualization of lens structures is a prerequisite.
Maintenance
Every medical device demands regular maintenance – this is, in fact, a key to its good durability and extended lifespan. Lamps of microscopes are required to be changed often. The microscope must be cleaned frequently adhering to the cleaning and sterilization guidelines so that it is ready to be used. Moreover, optical fibers might need to be changed. If microscope is not maintained well, illumination intensity may get adversely affected over time. In such situations, the Surgeons might have to increase the illumination values. However, in case of an insufficient visualization quality, optical fibers must be changed. There are costs associated with these procedures. It is advisable to seek reliable, comprehensive, and quality-driven medical equipment preventive maintenance assistance from a trusted source.
Environment
It is essential to make sure that you have a well-designed, spacious set-up of the practice or clinic for the Surgeons who will work with the microscope. The place where the microscope will be used, the type of practice your hospital specializes in, the procedures to be performed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and the number of surgeons involved in performing surgeries using the microscopes, these are important considerations to be made.
Besides, one should know what type of procedures shall be covered by microscope. If clinic or hospital has any specific requirements, the same should be examined beforehand. In the long run, every medical equipment is expected to strengthen healthcare facility’s capability to facilitate better healthcare.
Budget
Medical equipment and devices are integral parts of hospitals and clinics, their success, sustainability and of course, patient safety and satisfaction level. But, at the same time, they are big investments. Buying refurbished medical equipment of superior quality, at the competitive rate, is a viable option available to the modern healthcare professionals.
Upgradability
The demands of healthcare world keep changing. Depending on the current and the future scenario, the ophthalmic microscope’s use might have to be extended beyond cataract surgery. There should be options to integrate required modifications. Before you start exploring various makes and models on offer, this information may serve you as a sound basis.
