Description
Invuity has developed a highly engineered access system paired with state-of-the-art illumination technology to provide visualization for minimally invasive surgeries. As the frequency of surgeries in which work is done through smaller incisions has increased, so has the need for illumination that is superior to head lights, overhead lighting, and fiber optic-enabled instruments. Invuity’s Eigr™ photonic technology guides light through an advanced polymer and extracts it using hundreds of micron-sized structures to deliver and shape illumination uniformly onto a target deep within an incision; this delivers cool and direct illumination to even the smallest of surgical fields where surgeons struggle to see without interfering with other surgical instruments, and with off-axis lighting that reduces glare and virtually eliminates shadows. This later-stage medical device company markets specific illumination retractors and sabers for breast cancer, spinal, orthopedic, thyroid and parathyroid, and anterior and posterior hip replacement surgeries.
