SurgiCam Digital Video Camera
A Breakthrough in Medical Technology
The SurgiCam Digital Video Camera is the industry's first digital camera able to capture DVD-quality video directly via USB for digital recording on a desktop or laptop computer.
This patented technology offers a unique way to visually document clinical procedures
in digital format, thus eliminating the need for additional specialized control units.
Advanced Miniaturization
The SurgiCam Digital Camera System features advanced miniaturization and a combination of high-precision optical lenses with an integrated sensor technology that provides outstanding image quality and overall ease of use.
USB Plug & Play Technology
USB means easy set-up and on-the-fly activation, but most importantly for the practitioner, it means effective access to digital video and images with no data conversion, no delay, and
no time-consuming tasks needed with complex video equipment.

SurgiCam Digital Video Camera system vs. Traditional Camera systems
| SurgiCam system | Traditional system |
| Digital output | Analog output |
| No data conversion required | Data conversion required |
| Instant data storage and review | Time-consuming conversion process |
| Can be connected to any monitor via laptop | Cumbersome equipment required (camera control unit, video controller, etc.) |
| High-precision optical lenses with integrated sensors providing long depth-of-field | Autofocus that leads to blurry images |
| Easy editing using user-friendly software | Difficult to edit VHS, most likely requiring outside services |
Optical Lens Specifications
The SurgiCam has three lens options that allows for three magnification power options. The focal distance is customized to your working distance; if using loupes, we will match the camera to the loupe working distance. The optical lenses allow for excellent depth-of-fields and field-of-views to maximize your working capability.
| Optical Lens | Magnification | Field of View | Focal Length* | Depth-of-Field | |
| 5.5 mm | 1x | 11.5" x 8.7" (29 x 22 cm) | 18" (45 cm) | +/- 14" (35 cm) | |
| 11 mm | 2x | 5.5" x 4.1" (14 x 10 cm) | 18" (45 cm) | +/- 12" (30 cm) | |
| 20 mm | 3x | 2" x 1.5" (5 x 4 cm) | 16"/14"/12" (41/36/30 cm) | +/- 5"/4.5"/3.5" (13/11/9 cm) |
*Focal length is customized to your working distance
Imaging Software
With the digital video recording software,
it's easy to create your own database.
Preview - setup optimization- Digital Video Recording - capture in AVI format
- Play - review the video sequences
- Manage - select video sequences
- Extract still images in JPEG format
- Insert into all types of electronic documents
Thanks to the hardware's powerful compression capabilities,
digital recording only requires 2.4GB of hard disk space per hour.
Store the information temporarily onto your hard disk.
Transfer it permanently onto a CD-ROM or DVD.
