The digital, camera‑based Rubina™ Lens exoscope displays a real‑time, magnified 4K image of the surgical field on a monitor. With the ability to switch into NIR imaging using indocyanine green (ICG), the Rubina™ Lens exoscope helps reveal important information that cannot be seen with the naked eye, supporting more informed decision‑making during open surgery.

“The Rubina Lens extends real-time fluorescence visualization into open surgery, integrating seamlessly with existing OR platforms,” said Fernando Morales, Vice President, Surgical & OR Integration, KARL STORZ United States. “It enables surgeons to incorporate NIR imaging into open procedures without unnecessary complexity or workflow burden.”
Article content
The Rubina™ Lens is indicated for real-time tissue perfusion assessment, lymphatic mapping, and breast surgery and is designed for use in any open surgical procedure where NIR imaging with ICG may support intraoperative decision making. As with the fully endoscopic version, Rubina™ Lens gives the surgeon several options for viewing the NIR/ICG fluorescence imaging signal. By integrating directly with existing KARL STORZ IMAGE1 S™ Rubina™ imaging platforms, the Rubina™ Lens enables surgical teams to expand fluorescence capabilities without additional capital investment. The exoscope can be used handheld or mounted on a holding arm, providing flexibility across surgical settings.
Article content
Already approved for use in markets outside the United States, the Rubina™ Lens exoscope brings proven NIR imaging technology to US surgeons performing open procedures, addressing the need for consistent visualization across surgical approaches.
