Prof. Maciej Wilcazk and his team educate Polish doctors in minimally invasive hysteroscopy procedures with the GUBBINI Mini-Hystero-Resectoscope The Center for Minimally Invasive Pelvic Surgery at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Teaching Hospital of the Medical University of Karol Marcinkowski in Poznań, as the first and only in Poland, received a certificate as official training center. This act confirms that it plays a unique and leading role in training and education on Mini-Hystero-Resectoscopy procedures using the GUBBINI System performed under local anesthesia. Thanks to this procedure – Hysteroscopy under local anesthesia – patients can be discharged from the clinic only two hours after the procedure. Professor Maciej Wilczak, Head of the Department and Clinic of Mother and Child Health of GPSK, being the originator and coordinator of the Center is the only doctor in Poland who received this unique distinction and the opportunity to build a certified training center according to the “GUBBINI-method”. Dr. Giampietro Gubbini, guest of honor and creator of this method, proudly stated during the opening ceremony that with this new center his work and the work of international colleagues over the last 15 years receives a unique appreciation. His first idea was to use even smaller instruments to perform the diagnostic and operative procedures inside the uterus channel and the uterus itself safer, gentler, and faster. A paradigm change could be achieved over the years, despite sceptic considerations on quite some sides, and today patients can be treated excellently and gently at the same time. Furthermore, important representatives of the state, local authorities as well as Professor Bruno van Herendael (Medical Director of the International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy- ISGE) attended the opening ceremony. Also, Mr. Alberto Petrella (CEO of TONTARRA Medizintechnik GmbH) attended the event as a special guest. From the very beginning, Mr. Petrella and the whole TONTARA team collaborated closely with Dr. Giampietro Gubbini to realize the innovative GUBBINI system. Thanks to the Polish company and TONTARRA distributor, IMS Innovative Medical Solutions, the products and method have been successfully introduced in Poland.

LUMI-NIR - SEE BEYOND THE EYE
During the last years, NIR (NearInfraRed) Fluorescence technology has become more and more of interest as a tool in intraoperative minimally invasive surgery. This fluorescence imaging technology enables surgeons to visualize and assess blood flow and tissue perfusion, an important indicator for healthy tissue, as well as specific anatomical structures during multiple minimally invasive procedures. It offers great advantages in sentinel lymph node mapping, endometrial or cervical cancer, intraoperative assessment of visceral perfusion, colorectal surgery and many other applications.
The Fluorescent imaging agent ICG binds the protein and blood and is metabolized and exuded by the liver thereby providing laparoscopy visualization of the hepatic artery and vial ducts. TONTARRA’s latest camera setup LUMI_NIR allows the surgeon to combine NIR FI and white light endoscopy without any reduction of image quality. The LUMI_NIR range offers the option of having a Full 4K NIR FI system or a more economic HD version as a standard in medical care. VISUALIZATION SYSTEMS
EndoorCam 20 NIR FI Native Full HD camera:
TONTARRA’s versatile and economic EndoorCam 20 NIR FI Native Full HD camera leads the way to integrate the Fluorescence technology as a standard in the medical area. The Full HD version does not only offer USB photo and video recording but also provides patented automatic light control of the NIR FI Light Source.
EndoorCam 40 NIR FI ULTRA HD 4K camera:
TONTARRA’s EndoorCam 40 NIR FI Ultra HD 4K camera is the solution when looking for an outstanding performance. With a 4K UHD imaging output it offers a greater and more detailed color space compared to the already exceptional EndoorCam 20 NIR FI Native Full HD camera system. Additionally, it provides USB photo and video recording as well as patented automatic light control of the NIR FI Light Source. CAMERA HEAD
The new LUMI_NIR Camera Head Full HD Zoom is the perfect camera head for use in white light as well as for the near-infrared spectrum to intraoperatively detect NIR fl uorescence with indocyanine green. It offers 2x optical zoom as well as 3x digital zoom. For easy use in the dark OR room the camera head consists of three illuminated and programmable buttons. The green button allows the surgeon a fast and direct switch from white light to the NIR FI modes during the procedure. ENDOSCOPES
Specially designed NIR FI Endoscopes to transmit the NIR wave lengths are mandatory to detect the ICG Fluorescence. Only a complete image chain consisting of NIR camera unit, NIR camera head, NIR light source and NIR endoscopes allow a perfect visualization and functionality of the ICG Fluorescence. Our Ø 10.0mm Laparoscopes are based on the latest image technology and optical components which ensure a high resolution and homogenous illumination of the complete OR field. LIGHTSOURCE
EndoorLight 300 NIR FI is TONTARRA’s advanced light source which can be used for standard white light procedures as well as NIR FI fl uorescence imaging. With its 805 nm NIR laser an optimal ICG excitation can be guaranteed. LIGHT GUIDE
The NIR FI Light Guide is the specifi ed equipment for NIR laser activation. The NIR FI Light Guide has a Class 3R laser output at the distal end. Therefore, direct eye-contact needs to be avoided. >> Get more information in our LUMI_NIR-brochure

4K in Ultra-HD standard (UHD) with 3840x2160 pixels image size is the highest standard of surgical imaging. With 50 or 60 full frames per second, the EndoorCam 40 offers exactly 4 times the resolution of Full HD and makes the smallest details visible. This makes it possible to work comfortably with large monitors, allowing best detail resolution and recognition.
The 4K camera head offers high-quality optical zoom for highest image quality in both circular and full-image endoscopy images like in Laparoscopy. Here it offers two separate setting.
Together with our 4K UHD laparoscopes you get a complete 4K system for highest demands. EndoorCam 40 camera with its large color space, together with EndoorLight 300 LED light source with CRI Ra >90, offer two essential features for outstanding color reproduction.
The large UHD color space of BT.2020 enables the display of highly saturated colors that cannot be displayed in the BT.709 HD color space. In endoscopy, intensive red tones in particular benefit from this. An interesting range of 4K Monitors is available upon request. Official launch coming soon! Interested in a product training or offer for this camera system?
