Illumination, exposure, and magnification are essential components in surgical procedures. These elements have evolved significantly with advancing technology. The introduction of the operative microscope revolutionized modern neurosurgery by allowing surgeons to observe neurovascular microstructures in precise detail. With its ability to enhance both lighting and magnification, the microscope became indispensable for identifying and dissecting these delicate structures.
However, despite its advantages, the operating microscope has limitations. Its restricted focal range, inability to visualize around corners, and sometimes uncomfortable working positions for surgeons led to the need for improved tools. Over time, this necessity paved the way for innovations such as the endoscope and, more recently, the Exoscope.
In the last decade, the Exoscope emerged as a cutting-edge optical instrument, blending features of both the operating microscope and the endoscope. Unlike the endoscope, the Exoscope is positioned outside the body, yet it offers similar magnification and lighting benefits. The Exoscope delivers high-definition images during cranial and spine surgeries, enhancing visibility not only for surgeons but also for the entire operating room team.
Compared to the traditional operating microscope, the Exoscope offers several advantages: it provides comparable image quality and magnification while being more manageable, ergonomically superior, and cost-effective. As a result, the Exoscope is rapidly gaining popularity as an alternative for performing cranial, spinal, and peripheral neurosurgical procedures. Its features are a clear evolution in surgical technology, making it an invaluable tool in modern neurosurgery.

With an impressive 4TB of internal storage, the Exoscope can handle extensive data without the need for external drives.
The surgeon and surgical teams can view procedures on either a 55” or 32” monitor, allowing for crystal-clear visuals that enhance precision and collaboration in the operating room.
CONTROLS AND MOVEMENT
6-axis electromagnetic brake system, offering precise and stable control during surgeries. For fine adjustments, a motorized joystick allows for smooth, accurate movements of the optical head.
Additionally, the exoscope is equipped with a footswitch and multifunctional handgrip control, giving surgeons easy access to critical functions such as zoom, focus, and illumination without disrupting the procedure. This integrated control system enhances both precision and efficiency, ensuring seamless operation in the surgical environment.
FLUORESCENCE FILTER OPTIONS
It is equipped with an advanced Infrared 800 (IR 800) fluorescence filter, which enhances visualization of tissues and structures during surgeries. This filter is specifically designed to detect fluorescence emitted in the near-infrared spectrum, allowing surgeons to clearly differentiate critical areas such as blood vessels or tumor margins.
The IR 800 filter is especially beneficial in procedures requiring precise vascular imaging or tissue perfusion, helping to improve accuracy and outcomes in complex surgeries.
INFRARED 800 (IR 800)
YELLOW 560
The Yellow 560 fluorescence filter offers enhanced visualization of fluorescent dyes within the yellow spectrum. This filter is particularly useful in highlighting specific tissues or markers used during surgical procedures.
By providing a clearer contrast between tissues and fluorescent dyes, the Yellow 560 filter improves visualization in applications such as tumor detection, aiding surgeons in performing highly accurate and effective procedures. This filter is ideal for surgeries where precision and contrast are essential for success.

This technology provides surgeons with a consistent and natural view of the surgical field, enhancing visibility and supporting precise, confident decision-making in every procedure.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
NEUROSURGERY
Precision and Visualization Where It Matters Most In neurosurgery, precision is paramount. The Yoko Exoscope provides surgeons with high-definition imaging, allowing them to view intricate neural structures with exceptional clarity. Its ability to zoom and focus digitally enables seamless transitions between wide-field and highly magnified views, which are critical for navigating delicate brain tissues and blood vessels.
SPINE SURGERY
Improving Accuracy in Complex Procedures Spinal surgeries often require detailed visualization of small, complex areas. The Yoko Exoscope’s flexible positioning allows the surgeon to adjust the angle and depth of view without repositioning themselves, providing a clear and consistent view of the spine. This is particularly useful for minimally invasive spine surgeries where access to the surgical field is limited.
PLASTIC AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
A Clear View for Restoring Function and Aesthetics Reconstructive surgery requires both precision and artistic skill. It's high-definition magnification ensures that the surgeon can see the finest details, whether working on delicate tissue grafts, bone reconstructions, or intricate microsurgical procedures. It also enhances collaboration with other team members by projecting the image on a large screen, making it ideal for complex, multi-disciplinary procedures.
ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) Surgery
Detailed Visualization in Tight Spaces ENT surgeries often involve operating in narrow, confined spaces. The Yoko Exoscope excels in providing a highly magnified, clear view of these areas, such as the inner ear or nasal passages, where traditional microscopes might be harder to position. Its lightweight and easily adjustable arm make it perfect for ENT procedures that require quick repositioning.
