Problem
Traditional spinal surgeries often require extensive imaging, leading to increased radiation exposure for both patients and medical staff. These procedures can also be limited by the surgeon's ability to visualize the surgical site, potentially impacting precision and outcomes.
Solution
SURGLASSES develops augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation systems designed to enhance precision and reduce radiation exposure in orthopedic and neurosurgical procedures, specifically spine surgery. Their flagship product, the Caduceus S AR Spinal Surgery Navigation System, utilizes a single C-arm for AR navigation, minimizing the need for preoperative or intraoperative CT scans. The AR system projects real-time surgical navigation data directly onto the surgeon's field of view through AR glasses, allowing them to focus on the patient without looking away to external screens. This approach aims to improve surgical accuracy, reduce invasiveness, and streamline the surgical workflow.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and hospitals seeking to improve surgical precision, reduce radiation exposure, and enhance patient outcomes in spinal surgery. The Asclepius Virtual Dissection Table targets medical schools and teaching hospitals.
