About
Visionsense develops visualization solutions that bring natural stereoscopic sight to minimally invasive surgery. Using sensor technology and proprietary software, the Visionsense system delivers depth perception, 3D HD-resolution images, and maneuvering flexibility in the smallest access diameters. With stereovision capabilities, surgeons gain enhanced tissue understanding, improved hand-eye coordination, and the confidence to use advanced articulating surgical tools. The companys VSiii solution is based on a small-diameter (starting at 4 millimeters), single-channel endoscope that delivers visual information to a stereoscopic camera that imitates an insects compound eye. The VSiii system can be used in minimally invasive neurosurgery, ENT, arthroscopy (CE only), and general surgery procedures. It has been cleared by the FDA and CE and is used clinically on a regular basis worldwide.
