Olympus Corporation, based in Japan, has announced the launch of VISERA ELITE III, its newest surgical visualization platform that addresses the needs of healthcare professionals (HCPs) for endoscopic procedures across multiple medical disciplines.

VISERA ELITE III offers various imaging functions, all supported in one system enabling minimally invasive therapies such as Laparoscopic Colectomy and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Future software upgrades will advance surgical imaging technology and allow for individual configurations that facilitate seamless support of various surgical applications leading to a reduction in investment costs.

VISERA ELITE III will be available in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), parts of Asia, Oceania, and Japan in September 2022 or later.

By incorporating the technologies of its predecessors VISERA ELITE II and VISERA 4K UHD into one platform, VISERA ELITE III enhances the quality of endoscopic surgery, contributes to improved efficiency in the operating room, and hereby elevates the standard of care,” said Kanichi Matsumoto, Global Head of Surgical Endoscopy at Olympus.

In developing VISERA ELITE III, Sony Olympus Medical Solutions, a joint venture company of Sony and Olympus, optimized each technology and image processing function specifically for medical applications to create the most advanced, open, and versatile surgical visualization platform Olympus has ever brought to market.
