The first endoscopic

Micro-Inspection Tool
ZEISS QEVO

HOW QEVO® INTEGRATED IN

KINEVO® 900 FROM ZEISS WILL
SUPPORT YOUR NEUROSURGICAL
TUMOR RESECTIONS:

Better tumor visualization in complex,

narrow, deep, and hard to reach areas.1

Wider view of the resection cavity to

confirm gross total resection.1–3

Blind spots eliminated without

additional footprint.4

Easier manipulation due

to closer angle.5

PEER INSIGHTS ON ZEISS QEVO

The ability to utilize this tool on demand during the

resection of this complex lesion, surrounded by an intricate
web of neurovascular structures, proved indispensable.1
Aaron A. Cohen-Gadol, MD, MSc, MBA, 2019

It also avoided the need for excessive cerebellar

retraction during the inspection process.1
Aaron A. Cohen-Gadol, MD, MSc, MBA, 2019

Seamless integration into microscopy: single

system, avoids a separate setup, lowers
threshold to bring in QEVO.2
Paul Gardner, MD, 2020

The QEVO Micro-Inspection Tool should be a critical

component of the surgeon’s armamentarium to expand
visualization within challenging surgical exposures
because of the wide viewing angle [...] provided.1
Aaron A. Cohen-Gadol, MD, MSc, MBA, 2019
