Product description
HS Hi-R NEO 900A Reference # 657 821 Serial # from 101 Product Usage: A wide range of surgical interventions are made possible through the modular construction and the diversity of the equipment and accessories. The operating microscope HS Hi-R NEO 900/HS Hi-R NEO 900A/HS Hi-R NEO 900A NIR and HS ALLEGRA 900/590/90 are designed for use in Ophthalmology and in other disciplines where a vertical line of viewing is required. Due to their high maneuverability, the HS ALLEGRA range of operating microscopes are qualified for further applications, in particular ENT- and reconstructive microsurgery are possible, because their line of sight can be tilted or adjusted horizontally. The HS ALLEGRA 590 is particular because of its multidisciplinary application possibilities.
