In order to facilitate precise resection, FL400 fluorescence with 5-ALA enables the differentiation of tumor tissue from healthy brain tissue.input:
output:
The optimal patient outcome is contingent upon the maximum removal of tumor cells with minimal impact on brain tissue during the resection of a malignant glioma. FL400 fluorescence can offer assistance in this regard. When used in conjunction with the active substance 5 aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), it facilitates the differentiation of the tumor's bulk and margins. The ability to confidently perform a resection is facilitated by the availability of additional visual information.



A tumor is present if it emits a red glow.

You and your assistant are afforded a high-contrast, bright view of glioma cells when using FL400 blue light mode. This facilitates the accurate delineation of tumor margins, enabling the resection of tumors in real time with confidence.



How does it function?

The patient consumes a 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) solution prior to surgery. The fluorescent PPIX is produced by the selective uptake of 5-ALA by glioma cells.

By pressing a button, the FL400 module is activated during surgery.

The FL400 module produces a well-adjusted observation spectrum and intense, homogeneous blue excitation light.

A clear differentiation of tumor cells from healthy tissue is facilitated by the intense pinkish red glow of the PPIX in the tumor.input:
output:Effortless operation for uninterrupted productivity

For an uninterrupted workflow, effortlessly transition from white light to blue light fluorescence mode and back, or between fluorescence modes.input:
output:The FL400 module is fully integrated into your microscope, so changing observation modes is as simple as clicking a button on the handgrip or footswitch.
