OTV-S700 Processor
VISERA ELITE III Surgical Imaging PlatformAs an all-in-one system that supports your needs, the VISERA ELITE III surgical imaging platform can be upgraded via software licensing when needed — helping to streamline workflows and minimize OR downtime for the upgrade process.
The VISERA ELITE III Imaging Platform is a compact, multispecialty imaging platform designed for laparoscopic diagnosis, treatment, and video observation. TYPE BF endoscopes connected to this imaging platform must never be applied directly to the heart. Leakage current from the TYPE BF applied part may be dangerous and cause ventricular fibrillation or otherwise seriously affect the cardiac function of the patient.

ENDOEYE™ RIGID Videoscope
The ENDOEYE RIGID video laparoscope combines vivid visualization with one-handed image rotation, allowing the surgeon to adjust the view direction while maintaining a stable horizon. Its advanced chip-on-the-tip technology is designed to deliver bright, clear, and focus-free images. Select models also feature integrated fog-resistant elements to help reduce scope fogging during procedures.
ENDOEYE has been designed to be used within the thoracic and abdominal cavities including female reproductive organs. This instrument must not be used for observation or treatment of the heart and must not contact the heart or any area near the heart or contact any device or therapeutic accessory that contacts the heart or any area near the heart. Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than its intended use.

ENDOEYE™ FLEX Videoscope
Shift the field of view with ENDOEYE FLEX videoscope 5 mm and 10 mm by controlling the tip angulation up to 100° to the desired location. With access to narrow cavities, obtain a clear viewing angle of structures in areas such as the rectum, VATS procedures, pelvic cavity, retroperitoneal approach to urology, etc.
ENDOEYE has been designed to be used within the thoracic and abdominal cavities including female reproductive organs. This instrument must not be used for observation or treatment of the heart and must not contact the heart or any area near the heart or contact any device or therapeutic accessory that contacts the heart or any area near the heart. Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than its intended use.

ENDOEYE™ Rigid 3D Videoscope
The autoclavable, rigid ENDOEYE 3D videoscope provides natural 3D depth perception with a wide field of view.
Change the direction of view while maintaining a stable horizon. The ENDOEYE Rigid 30° videoscope supports your continuous critical view and provides you a reliable orientation even at challenging viewing angles with its continuous mechanical rotation function.
ENDOEYE has been designed to be used within the thoracic and abdominal cavities including female reproductive organs. This instrument must not be used for observation or treatment of the heart and must not contact the heart or any area near the heart or contact any device or therapeutic accessory that contacts the heart or any area near the heart. Do not use this instrument for any purpose other than its intended use.

Advancing Surgical Visualization
In a 2025 survey, 8 out of 10 surgeons surveyed agreed that YE may assist in identifying vessels, nerves, and critical structures within adipose tissue.4

Yellow Enhancement (YE)
Yellow Enhancement (YE) is a default function of the VISERA ELITE™ III surgical imaging platform, designed to enhance the difference in visualization between material that contains yellow and material that does not. This is achieved through color conversion, where orange material appears as enhanced yellow. This visualization is related to the presence of beta-carotene in fat, which is one of the few materials in the abdominal cavity containing yellow.
Never Lose Focus

Continuous Auto Focus (CAF)
The CAF function maintains constant focus, eliminating the need for manual adjustments and it is designed to support surgeon comfort and reduce fatigue throughout the surgery.5

Extended Depth of Field (EDOF™) Technology
The EDOF technology facilitates endoscopic observations through continuous broad focus and enhanced depth of field allowing more of the image to be in focus at once.1

True 4K Image Quality
The exclusive 4K image sensor from Sony produces true 4K image quality, enabling the camera head to deliver fine detail and clarity for the most intricate procedures.

Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI™) Technology
Visualize vascular and mucosal patterns with the help of Narrow Band Imaging™ (NBI™) Technology.
NBI is not intended to replace histopathological sampling as a means of diagnosis.
3D imaging can go beyond the limits of what traditional endoscopes can see.
Olympus® 3D systems have been shown to offer enhanced depth perception and a precise spatial view of anatomy that simply cannot be achieved with traditional 2D systems.6
