Overcoming a key engineering challenge in advanced minimally invasive imaging
SINGAPORE, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Genesis MedTech has received CE Mark approval for its latest 8 mm video endoscope, marking an important milestone in minimally invasive imaging. Achieving 3D imaging, 4K resolution and fluorescence capability in an 8 mm endoscope has been one of the key engineering challenges in advanced surgical visualisation.
High-quality visualisation is fundamental to minimally invasive surgery. Video endoscopes combining 3D imaging, 4K resolution and fluorescence capability are typically 10 mm in diameter. Delivering these same imaging capabilities within an 8 mm endoscope while maintaining high image quality requires sophisticated miniaturisation of the optical, electronic and mechanical systems.
This capability is particularly valuable in procedures that require visualisation across multiple anatomical regions. Nephroureterectomy is one such procedure, requiring surgeons to operate across both the upper abdomen and pelvis. The 8 mm video endoscope can be repositioned between different ports to provide different viewing angles throughout the procedure. In addition, the video endoscope features configurable system interfaces, providing greater flexibility for integration across different surgical platforms.
The CE Mark approval expands Genesis MedTech's advanced imaging portfolio and reinforces the company's commitment to advancing technologies that support the next generation of minimally invasive surgery.
