[Press Release]
TrueVision® 3D Surgical, the leader in 3D visualization and computer-based guidance for microsurgery, announced its new product for recording, editing and presenting 3D surgical video. The product targets surgical education in neurosurgery, ophthalmology, spine, orthopedic, ENT and any other discipline which uses a surgical microscope.
The TrueVision® 3D High Definition Visualization, Recording, and Editing System is a real-time, computer-based, stereoscopic, 3D high-definition system that attaches to microscopes for display of the surgical field on 3D flat panel displays in the operating room.
The advanced technology is also used to record, edit and playback 3D surgical video and to stream live stereoscopic video of the surgical field, making it an unparalleled teaching tool. It plays back stereoscopic surgical video to 3D-equipped conference rooms and theaters for any size audience.
“The benefits of 3D over 2D visualization are well understood within surgical education.” says Forrest Fleming CEO of TrueVision 3D Surgical. “This is another step towards TrueVision’s goal of supplanting 2D video with 3D HD video that is cost-effective and easy to use.”
The company is offering an aggressive pricing strategy to market the system as competitive with the current 2D HD offerings available today. The system can be easily upgraded to the TrueVision® 3D Visualization and Guidance System to run “smart” applications as they come available. TrueVision® was awarded “The Best of 2010” and a “Top Products of 2010” by Cataract and Refractive Cataract Surgery Today. TrueVision® Visualization, Recording and Editing system is listed with the FDA as a class 1 medical device. The TrueVision® 3D Visualization and Guidance System is listed with the FDA as a class 2 medical device.
