vasovisionMAQUET Cardiovascular LLC has announced a new endoscopic visualization system named “Vasovision” that uses heads-up displays with goggles to place the endocopie view directly in the operator’s field of view.

Worn as eyewear by the healthcare provider retrieving the vein, the VASOVISION system offers crisp, clear views of the harvesting tunnel (the area surrounding the vein to be harvested) and can eliminate the strain associated with poorly placed monitors or field of view challenges commonly found in today’s operating rooms. The system is lightweight, comfortable and easy to use with fingertip adjustments for brightness and contrast. This new product is part of the leading VASOVIEW Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting (EVH) portfolio of products from MAQUET Cardiovascular, and will be sold separately as well as in combination with other VASOVIEW products.

Always great to see technology making it into the OR, and this system not only reduces wound complicates and allows minimally invasive procedures, it reduces strain on the surgeon from cumbersome displays.  See it on Maquet’s Site.
