Bladder cancer is a common tumor of the urinary tract. For successful treatment, early detection – that is, a higher early diagnosis rate – is crucial, and this is where photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) comes in.
This new, minimally invasive and efficient method of diagnosing bladder tumors has been proven effective in countless clinical studies. Richard Wolf has therefore developed its own photodynamic diagnosis system, System Blue. Drawing on long experience with urological products, every detail has been carefully considered and designed to overcome what is hard to detect with conventional cystoscopy, using highly sensitive fluorescence to increase the detection rate.
Here is a closer look at the System Blue platform components:
Innovative componentsSystem blue for a clearer view. Because bladder cancer usually grows flat and over small areas, it is easily missed under the white light of conventional cystoscopy. System blue's innovative LED technology offers a good solution: in blue PDD mode, the color difference between tumor tissue and surrounding healthy tissue is clearly visible, showing the tumor tissue clearly and helping physicians identify tumors easily.
ENDOLIGHT LED blue:
The world's first PDD light source with innovative LED technology provides very high color contrast for brighter images of the examined area and clearer tumor differentiation.
- Also suitable for white light endoscopy
- Constant illumination throughout the procedure lets physicians work continuously in PDD mode and resect all tumors completely with confidence
ENDOCAM Logic 4K camera controller
Ultra HD 4K resolution, compatible with all ENDOCAM Logic HD applied parts and camera heads, making the equipment easy to upgrade. Its high-resolution camera controller offers:
- Two special imaging modes: bluePDD and bluePDD color contrast
PENDUAL blue HD camera head
A versatile Full HD camera head with a new optical design and a special, very bright coupler system for sharp, bright images.
- For cystoscopy and resection
- Also suitable for white light endoscopy without restriction
PANOVIEW blue telescopes
A new fiber design improves transmission for bright, vivid images and a longer service life.
Richard Wolf also offers another innovative product: a special blue fiber optic light cable, autoclavable and designed for fluorescence applications, for better transmission.
