MAQUET Releases VASOVISION Heads-Up Display for Vessel Harvesting for CABGs
Filed under: Cardiac Surgery
Heads-up displays are best known for their use in fighter jets to help pilots target enemy aircraft. But now MAQUET Cardiovascular out of Wayne, New Jersey has released its own version, the VASOVISION Endoscopic Visualization System, to help surgeons aim at saphenous veins during endoscopic vessel harvesting procedures (EVH) for coronary artery bypasses. Because of the precision required, it can be difficult to operate endoscopic tools while looking at a monitor located in a different field of view from where the instruments are. Hence this new VASOVISION display can be worn during the EVH harvest as it is designed to work with all of the company's VASOVIEW systems.
Here are the features of the display:
Easy to use and lightweight
Comfortable fit for any user
Fingertip adjustments for image brightness and contrast
Central viewing pane provides a wide field of view while enabling peripheral vision
Compatible with all MAQUET VASOVIEW systems
Clear visualization of procedure
Improved comfort and ergonomics during harvesting
Enhanced and streamlined harvesting experience
