Traditional, open surgery is the standard by which all new surgical techniques are measured. Surgeons operate in an open, 3-dimensional field, with optimal perspective of size and volume. While established video companies experienced in classic opto-mechanical technologies have made several attempts to generate 3-dimensional images, their efforts have had no measurable impact in the minimally invasive operating room environment. Hence, Minimally Invasive Surgery (“MIS”) continues to be viewed on 2-dimensional monitors, placing surgeons at a clear disadvantage by severely limiting their depth perception.

Visionsense is targeting the rapidly growing world-wide MIS visualization equipment segment. Additionally, an increasing number of laparoscopic injuries and the steep learning curve required to learn new techniques, further underscore the need for stereoscopic visualization. Visionsense’s technology is expected to become a catalyst and a major contributor in redefining these markets and the future of MIS.
