Combining surgical-camera feeds into one real-time view for microsurgical training
Microsurgery requires precision while surgeons maintain awareness of surrounding anatomy through a limited, highly magnified view. Narrow surgical corridors, difficult depth perception and instruments blocking the view can further restrict visibility.
Surgerix develops software that combines live video from multiple surgical cameras into one shared, real-time view. Compatible with existing surgical microscopes, endoscopes and camera systems, the technology expands visibility of the operating area and surrounding tissue.
