METIS HU: Your surgical cockpit

Enhance your surgical experience

METIS HU is designed to support the needs of progressive anterior and posterior segment surgeons. Incorporating advanced 3D 4K camera technology, METIS HU combines a 55” 3D 4K monitor with a compact floor stand to maximize your working space. By replacing traditional eyepieces with a heads-up view, you benefit from better visualization, improved workflow, lower illumination, and enhanced teaching opportunities. 

Whether you already own a METIS 900 ophthalmic microscope or are considering digital visualization for the first time: with a flexible configuration and convenient ocular conversion process, METIS HU gives you the freedom to work how you want.

 

Enhance your surgical view

Greater precision, better decisions

METIS HU supports ophthalmic surgery with stunning detail and clarity. The high image resolution, combined with a large 3D display, delivers a greater depth-of-field, together with a 3D stereo 4K camera that can constantly adapt to light conditions. The result: enhanced vision facilitating more accurate manipulation of delicate intraocular structures.

Improved ergonomics

Heads-up view for better posture

Haag-Streit has been an innovator in surgical ergonomics for decades – and METIS HU is the latest iteration in this legacy. Benefit from an upright sitting position and a compact design that allows for a clear view of the screen without requiring excessive sideways head tilting. Together, these features can reduce the neck and back strain that can result when using traditional oculars for lengthy procedures.

Work the way you want

Flexible configuration

Don’t want to dispense with the ocular setup altogether? No problem. METIS HU gives you the freedom to choose. Take full advantage of digital visualization when desired or work with the ocular setup when it’s needed. With a convenient conversion process, you’re in full control with METIS HU.

Workflow & ease of use

Programmable foot & hand switches

When using METIS HU, benefit from all the efficient workflows embedded into the METIS 900 microscope and bring greater productivity to your procedures. Motorized features, activated by a touch of the hand switch, replace cumbersome knobs, while the foot switch offers wireless control of up to 14 functions. For even greater efficiency, map any digital function to the foot or hand switch for greater customization and ease of use.

Integrated digital features

Quick zoom & image inversion

METIS HU incorporates powerful digital features that boost your workflow efficiency. Whether monitoring your system configuration, adapting your settings, or navigating to on-screen help menus; do this and more with a single, sterile touch. Enjoy the digital quick zoom that instantly reveals high details with the tap of your foot, and switch to image inversion without the need for separate system add-ons.

Increased patient comfort

Lower illumination levels

METIS HU technology enables you to work at lower light levels compared to an analog microscope setup. As a result, patients benefit from lower light toxicity – and can enjoy greater comfort during procedures. Simultaneously, you experience accurate color representation and true-to-life visuals for effective surgeries.

Transform teaching & collaboration

Immersive learning environment

METIS HU creates an immersive learning environment where assistants, trainees, and other OR personnel can observe surgical procedures exactly as you do – on a large 3D monitor. Simultaneously capture high-quality, 3D videos and images as you work with a simple touch of the hand switch, or the tap of your foot, and easily share your findings with others for further analysis and review. Moreover, multiple 3D monitors can be linked in a teaching environment, allowing remote observation in real time.

Your digital dashboard

Touchscreen display

Control and personalize your METIS HU setup – and that of other users – from the convenience of your 27” touchscreen display. Designed with surgeons and their teams in mind, METIS HU features our Microscope Imaging & Operation System (MIOS) – a single user interface with interactive menus to guide your surgical workflow. From customizing your monitor settings and surgeon profiles to recording and sharing patient data: do it all from one central point of control.

Don’t miss a detail

Digital red-free filter

Realize spectacular 3D visualization with METIS HU. With advanced digital processing, your color, contrast, and brightness are continually optimized to deliver a clear, natural image. Seamlessly choose from various filters such as “red-free”, enhancing contrast and visibility of retinal structures. Combined, you are equipped with better visualization to aid efficiency and safety in various operating scenarios.
