Utilizing a VR headset, surgeons can streamline CMF/T surgeries by rapidly planning surgical cases in 3D virtual reality, instantly printing anatomical models and exporting designs for custom surgical guides and implants within a timeframe as rapid as 12-48 hours. In the operating room, that surgical plan or 3D image can be superimposed on the body with the surgeon wearing Augmented Reality glasses. These technologies help surgeons reduce operative times significantly and collaborate efficiently.

“Imagine the surgeon being able to travel inside the body virtually, seeing all of the anatomy and planning their surgery from the inside. The surgeon can then virtually fix the fractures, order custom implants and instantly 3D-print physical models. Then prior to surgery in the OR, the surgeon is able to see through the skin, like x-ray vision, and visualize their surgical plan along with the bones, fractures, blood vessels, nerves and muscles,” said Mike Mogul, HealthpointCapital’s Managing Partner. “This is available today at Immersive Touch, our latest investment at HealthpointCapital.”
“Our team has been providing a groundbreaking user experience to a group of surgeon leaders,” said Pat Banerjee, founder of ImmersiveTouch. “HealthpointCapital will be an experienced partner to support us as we rapidly commercialize and continue to develop exciting new applications.”
