This restricts the surgeon’s perspective limiting the ability to perform advanced MIS procedures. With stereovision capabilities, surgeons gain enhanced tissue understanding, improved hand eye coordination and the confidence to use advanced (articulating) surgical tools. | $8M |  | Apr 01, 2018 |  |
