About
VisionSense developed imaging and visualization technology for minimally invasive surgery, including a 3D-HD camera that optically maps the surgical field. Their VSiii system enables surgeons to use a minimally invasive stereoscopic (3D) camera for neurosurgical, ENT, arthroscopy, and laparoscopy applications. The company also offered the Visiosense Iridium system for interventional infrared fluorescent visualization in the surgical block and solutions for plastic and reconstructive surgeries. VisionSense was founded in 1998 by Avi Yaron, an engineer who sought to develop better surgical visualization tools after his own experience with a brain tumor. The company was previously known as Envision Advanced Medical Systems Ltd.
