Optilia Instruments Providing Support for Capillaroscopy Workshops
Optilia is proud to play a leading role in many workshops such as one recently organised and held at Hamburg-Eppendorf University Hospital, where around fifteen delegates were lead by leading experts Dr Christof Iking-Konert and Dr Oliver Sander using the latest Optilia Capillaroscopy System.
The search for the earliest possible diagnosis and distinct
(ideally individualised) therapies, are essential tasks for the
rheumatologist. Increasingly we have the possibility of making
direct investigations on already affected joints using techniques
such as MRI or Arthrosonography. However with capillarocopy, (the
use of especially adapted microscopes that makes capillary vascular
patterns in the nailfold visible), a method exists that allows the
direct assessment of functional, in vivo vessels. This provides
better mapping, definition and prognosis of diseases and can serve
as a primary diagnosis. Also, following the course of modern
therapies, e.g. for the treatment of digital ulcers, with careful
capillaroscopy practice, documentation and evaluation, can show if
they are suitable and effective.
Therefore it is important that colleagues who use capillaroscopy
and/ or care for patients with systemic diseases, apply the same
standards in the application, evaluation and communication of
capillaroscopy. Workshops are an essential method of providing
education for these increasingly used methods.
