Astodia®Transilluminator

The Stihler Astodia Diaphanoscope is a specialised transillumination device designed to assist clinicians in visualising blood vessels and identifying air- or fluid-filled structures beneath the skin. Widely used in paediatrics and neonatology, it is particularly suited for premature and newborn babies where accurate vascular access is critical. With high-intensity LED illumination, adjustable brightness control, and an ergonomic handpiece design, the Astodia combines precision performance with everyday practicality in hospitals and clinical settings.

Key features include:

• Dual LED Illumination System: Two high-performance LED lights provide enhanced visualisation for a wide range of clinical applications.

• Yellow Light Mode: Enables sharp vessel contrast, making it ideal for venipuncture and neonatal vascular access.

• Red Light Mode: Increases depth of tissue penetration, supporting the identification of pneumothorax and hydrocele.

• Adjustable Light Intensity: Multiple brightness levels allow clinicians to tailor illumination according to patient size and clinical needs.

• Rechargeable Battery Operation: Provides extended operating time for continuous clinical use.

• Ergonomic, Rounded Handpiece: Designed for safe, comfortable application even in delicate neonatal areas.

• Compact Control Unit: Integrated electronic regulation helps minimise thermal load on sensitive tissue.
