Introducing the Endofix exo from Aktormed

The Endofix exo passive support arm provides the support that you need during surgery to maintain the position of the endoscope. This results in the ability to actively use both hands for the more complex requirements of surgical procedures, even the most extreme camera angles and endoscope positions.

At the touch of a button, the Endofix exo can be moved into the most desirable position to provide optimal visibility within the surgical field. The Endofix exo allows the endoscope to remain stable and tremor free, under the direct control of the surgeon.  This provides a clear image for the duration of the surgical procedure. The Endofix exo frees up the hand of the surgeon previously reserved for holding the endoscope and camera in place- essentially giving the surgeon a 3^rd hand for the whole of the procedure.

The fine adjustments required during the surgical procedure are easy to execute with the Endofix exo and can be made in seconds. The position of the endoscope is then automatically locked until manually released by the surgeon. This ensures that the visibility is always as its best.

Ergonomically the Endofix exo is useful in eliminating the need for maintaining awkward static positions for long periods of time during surgery, which may lead to pain.

This can lead to reduction in discomfort and fatigue that can be cause by long surgical procedures.

Clinical specialities include (but are not limited to) ENT, Head and Neck, Skull Base Surgery and Neurosurgery.
