The spinal endoscope is used for examination or surgery during intervertebral disc procedures, providing images or visuals of the patient. The unique brazing welding technique of the lens effectively prevents air and water leakage.
The objective lens, cylindrical lens and other
Optical components are made of high-quality raw materials, of higher optical transmittance, high temperature and high pressure resistance, better corrosion resistance, and clearer field of view.
The inner wall of the working channel has a hardened coating for higher hardness and wear resistance, minimizing the possibility of scratches and damage.
Equipped with light source interfaces of multiple specifications, it suits Olympus, Wolf, Storz and other mainstream brand interfaces, can realize free switch, and is compatible with more cold light sources.

Spinal endoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used for treating various spinal conditions, particularly disc herniation. Here are the key points about using spinal endoscopes for disc surgery:
1. Procedure: Endoscopic spine surgery uses a thin tube with a camera (endoscope) inserted through a small incision to visualize and treat the affected area. This allows surgeons to perform disc surgery with minimal tissue damage.
2. Applications: It is most commonly used for disc protrusions, especially foraminal and extraforaminal disc herniations. It can also be used for lumbar canal stenosis and lumbar spondylolisthesis.
3. Advantages:
- Minimally invasive with smaller incisions
- Less postoperative pain
- Reduced hospitalization time
- Lower risk of complications
- Faster recovery and return to daily activities
4. Effectiveness: Studies have shown that endoscopic techniques are comparable to conventional microsurgical techniques in terms of clinical outcomes and recurrence rates for lumbar disc herniations.
5. Challenges: The adoption of endoscopic spine surgery has been slow in some regions due to factors like high start-up costs, low reimbursement rates, and the steep learning curve for surgeons.
6. Procedure specifics: For lumbar disc herniation, a small incision is made on the side of the back to insert the endoscope. The surgeon then removes the damaged portion of the disc and any material pressing on the nerves.
7. Recovery: Most patients experience a shorter recovery period compared to traditional open surgery, with many procedures being performed as outpatient surgeries.
