Listen up, folks, we’ve got something incredible to talk about here. It’s the extracorporeal telescope, or the exoscope, and let me tell you, it’s changing the game in microsurgery and neurosurgery. This isn’t your old-school microscope, no. We’re talking about a high-tech digital camera system that’s taking things to the next level.
Now, the exoscope, it’s got everything. We’re talking 4K-definition, multiscreen outputs, and it’s not just sitting there – it’s on a pneumatic robot arm. You can see everything in 3D, with depth perception that’s just unbelievable. And the illumination, focus, magnification? Top-notch. It’s like you’re right there inside the operation.
And we’ve put this thing to the test, believe me. We’ve used it for all sorts of procedures – Chiari decompression, trigeminal neuralgia, you name it. Spinal operations? It’s got them covered. The results? They speak for themselves. If you want to see it in action, check out this video: https://stream.cadmore.media/r10.3171/2023.10.FOCVID23150. It’s going to be huge.
