LITTLE SILVER, N.J. — Endo Optiks has added a new series of high-resolution micro-endoscopes to its existing endoscopes line, providing improved image quality and increased field of view, according to a press release from the company.

"We designed the new high-resolution scopes to help surgeons better visualize the anatomy of the eye," Martin Uram, MD, endoscope creator and co-founder of Endo Optiks, said in the release. "Surgeons will find improved visualization when performing [endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation], [panretinal photocoagulation] and diagnostics."

Two new versions have been launched: the Triple Function Micro-Endoscope and the Dual Function Micro-Endoscope. Both combine light and imaging, but the Triple Function Micro-Endoscope model also offers laser, the release said. The Triple Function Micro-Endoscope has a 19-gauge probe, while the Dual Function Micro-Endoscope has a 20-gauge probe.
