Leica Wild Heerbrugg M655 Ophthalmic Surgical Microscope Floor Stand
Leica Wild Heerbrugg M655 Ophthalmic Surgical Microscope | Floor Stand Suite
The Leica Wild Heerbrugg M655 is a classic, highly reliable ophthalmic surgical microscope system renowned for its premium Swiss optical engineering. Designed to provide deep, high-contrast, and distortion-free visualization, the M655 remains a favored workhorse for anterior segment surgery, ophthalmic training labs, and specialized veterinary surgical suites.
This configuration is paired with a heavy-duty, counterbalanced floor stand, providing exceptional structural stability and fluid articulation across all axes to ensure seamless positioning over the patient.
Key Performance Features
-
Legendary Wild Heerbrugg Optics: Equipped with a premium, multi-coated glass optical suite that delivers excellent depth of field, sharp edge-to-edge resolution, and natural color rendering under the surgical field.
-
Fluid Manual Zoom & Focus: Designed with smooth, tactile manual adjustments (or motor-assisted controls depending on the exact configuration) that allow the surgeon to precisely dial in magnification levels during delicate intraocular maneuvers.
-
Coaxial Illumination System: Features an integrated fiber-optic illumination path that projects light coaxial to the surgeon's line of sight, maximizing the "red reflex" essential for successful cataract extraction and capsulorhexis.
-
Counterbalanced Articulating Arm: The floor stand features a highly adjustable, spring-tensioned articulation arm that neutralizes the weight of the microscope head, allowing the surgical team to position the optics effortlessly with one hand.
-
Heavy-Duty Floor Stand: Built on a robust, low-profile wheeled chassis with locking casters, providing vibration-free imaging and easy transport between operating rooms or storage areas.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages
-
Exceptional Veterinary & Lab Utility: Highly sought after by veterinary ophthalmologists and research laboratories looking for premium human-grade optical clarity without the capital-intensive cost of current-generation digital platforms.
-
Mechanically Dependable Architecture: Built prior to the era of overly complex, proprietary computer software, the M655 features robust analog mechanical linkages that are straightforward to maintain, calibrate, and service.
-
Vibration-Dampened Visualization: The massive base casting absorbs operating room floor vibrations, ensuring the microscopic field remains perfectly stable even during high-magnification suturing.
-
Strategic Budget Optimization: Acquiring this durable, refurbished/used Leica suite enables facilities to equip a secondary procedure room, backup surgical bay, or training lab with world-class optics at a fraction of the cost of new systems.
Ideal Applications
-
Ophthalmology: Cataract extraction, pterygium excision, and anterior segment reconstruction.
-
Veterinary Microsurgery: Avian, feline, and canine ophthalmic or micro-vascular interventions.
-
Surgical Training & Academics: Foundational microsurgery training, suturing labs, and anatomical dissections.
Condition & Quality Assurance
-
Status: Used
-
Optical Integrity: Lenses and internal prisms have been inspected; they are completely clear, free of delamination, scratches, and internal dust accumulation.
-
Mechanical Validation: The articulating arm holds its position under load without drifting, and the caster locks engage tightly.
-
Note: This system operates via standard wall outlets. Please confirm if your specific purchase requirements include auxiliary accessories such as an assistant's scope, foot control pedal, or HD video camera attachments.
