Choose by your room. The Prima C is a compact pole stand colposcope for exam rooms with little space. The Prima CS puts the same optics on a swivel and suspension arm with longer reach for clinics that also do procedures. Both use a 5 step apochromatic changer, an f300 objective, a 27 W LED and a green filter.
Look at the stand, the working distance, the magnification steps, the light and the green filter, then documentation. The Prima C and Prima CS share a 5 step apochromatic changer (0.4x to 2.5x) with MaxLite optics, an f300 objective with fine focus, a 27 W LED and a green filter, and accept camera adapters.
They share the same optics. The Prima C is a compact pole stand with 100 mm of arm travel for tight exam rooms. The Prima CS mounts the head on a swivel and suspension arm with plus or minus 250 mm of travel on a heavier 40 kg base, which suits clinics that also perform procedures.
What working distance does a colposcope need?
A colposcope sits back from the patient so there is room for a speculum and instruments. The Prima C and Prima CS use an f300 objective, which sets a working distance of about 300 mm.
Why does a colposcope have a green filter?
Green light makes red structures appear dark, so blood vessels and vascular patterns show with more contrast against the surrounding tissue. Both the Prima C and Prima CS include a green filter.
Do I need a straight or an inclined binocular tube?
A straight tube looks horizontally at the patient, which suits standing or sitting level with the exam. A 45 degree inclined tube lets you look down into the eyepieces with a more upright neck. Both colposcopes ship with a straight 90 degree tube and offer a 45 degree inclined head.
Can I document colposcopy findings?
Yes. Both models accept camera adapters, so you can capture images for records and follow up. The Prima CS also lists beam splitter, CCD and USB camera options.
How much does a colposcope cost and what warranty does it have?
Price depends on the stand and documentation you choose, so dealers quote the configuration. LABOMED® medical products carry 2 years on parts and labor, 2 years on cameras and 1 year on electrical parts, with lifetime cover available as an optional add-on.
