Doctors Hospital launched the new Zeiss Kinevo 900 Robotic Visualization System.

The Zeiss Kinevo 900 Microscope is the first equipment installed in the country, a unique unit that combines both digital and optical visualization modalities and that has a robotic mechanism that the surgeon controls.

This allows automatic positioning to anatomical landmarks based on preoperative data planning – exactly when the surgeon needs it. It can work in-sync with the neuronavigation equipment that the hospital already has.

The specialist doctor can benefit from greater safety in a virtually undisturbed workflow by offering the active damping Microscope that guarantees extraordinary stability.

Doctors Hospital has pioneers and innovators in cutting-edge medical treatments, since they are a first world reference for national and international patients. This is largely due to their continued investment in knowledge and technology. The Zeiss Kinevo 9000 is a device that redefines the state of the art in medical technology and represents an unprecedented tool for neurosurgeons, spine surgeons, and otolaryngists who perform high-precision procedures. The installation of this medical technology will result in more precise and efficient procedures for the benefit of patients.

In the Hybrid Robotic Room of the Hemodynamics department of DOCTORS HOSPITAL, Dr. Rodrigo García Martínez, an interventional cardiologist, performed the first Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) procedure in our country.

For this procedure, the C7-XR OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) equipment from the company St. Jude Medical was used, the first equipment of this state-of-the-art technology to be installed in Mexico for the diagnosis and treatment of intravascular problems by AVANT MEDICAL. OCT technology has been applied for one year in the Netherlands and Belgium.

It uses the reflection of light waves to enhance the image of the coronaries and blood vessels with all their microscopic details.

The equipment offers an optical imaging modality that uses infrared light to create high-resolution images of tissue microstructures with important characteristics:

• Resolution at the micrometer level
• Sub-surface image
• High contrast fabric
• Safe, non-ionizing radiation

Optical Coherence Tomography is used to streamline interventional cardiovascular procedures (angioplasties and stent implants), complementing coronary ultrasound.

It can perform a 5-centimeter segment artery scan in less than 3 seconds and produces a much clearer and easier to understand 3D view of vessel morphology and plate composition, aiding planning and optimizing the treatment. Specialists will have a rapid, safe and confident assessment with OCT, as it produces incredibly detailed and clear high-resolution images, offering an unprecedented view of the coronary lumen and its morphology. It is the fastest frequency acquisition and domain frequency technology with no loss of quality.

DOCTORS HOSPITAL strengthens its commitment to provide the highest technology in diagnostic and treatment services backed by the latest advances in medicine, which add to its modern and complete infrastructure to offer its patients the most advanced medical technology.
