Haag-Streit Launches METIS 900 Ophthalmic Surgical Microscope

Haag-Streit announced the launch of the METIS 900 ophthalmic microscope system. 

According to Haag-Streit, the METIS 900 was designed to maximize clarity and precision of visualization during surgeries, as well as the surgeon’s comfort. Programmable hand and/or foot switches will allow users to choose from wireless control of up to 14 functions, including zoom, tilt, focus, and filter. The tilt function offers a more efficient and streamlined workflow for surgeons performing minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MiGS). 

“We are thrilled to officially launch the METIS. Since its introduction to the market, this innovative microscope has been subjected to rigorous review by a diverse group of surgeons worldwide,” Mike Luley, Director of Global Strategy and Business Development, Visualization at Haag-Streit, said in a recent press release.

Additional features of METIS include sustainable LED illumination and an assistant microscope for training environments. 3D heads-up displays, which allow surgeons to look ahead at a screen rather than through the microscope while operating, is expected to launch later this year, as well. 

“It has been truly rewarding to see how so many people have worked together to create the value that METIS provides for surgeons when caring for their patients,” Mr. Luley said. “We look forward to fulfilling our promise to provide surgeons with the exceptional user experience they expect from Haag-Streit.”
