The solution
to facilitate and secure arthroscopic surgery

favicon-areas We develop a solution that guarantees facilitation, reliability and precision of arthroscopic procedures.

What is arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy consists in operating on any type of joint through micro incisions.

This procedure requires the use of surgical tools specifically designed for this technique, along with a camera inserted into the joint.

Arthroscopic surgery offers multiple benefits for the patient including a faster recovery period and lower complication risks compared to open surgery.

A demanding procedure

A demanding procedure

Arthroscopy is a challenging surgical performance.

The zoomed in visual range causes a deficiency in location markers and a restricted workspace, all while having one hand compelled to holding the camera while the other one operates.

These critical conditions are what defines arthroscopic surgery as a demanding procedure and justifies its lengthy learning curve.

Our ambition:
to facilitate and secure the arthroscopic procedure using artificial intelligence and mixed reality

The area solution

A solution in three steps

Model 3D

Obtain the 3D digital double of the joint based on pre-operative imaging (scan, MRI, radiography…)

MR

Locate the operated joint and surgical tools to display the information in the Mixed Reality headset

SLAM/ REGISTRATION

Adjust the digital double onto the operated joint to enhance the visual range and guide the surgical gesture.

The areas team

A multidisciplinary and complementary team :

Our team is composed of specialized engineers in artificial intelligence, 3D imaging, mixed reality and quality control, as well as specialists in production of medical devices.

The team benefits of continuous communication with ultimate users of the originated solution (surgeons and medical staff).
