Q1: What is HoloLase™?
HoloLase™ is a groundbreaking augmented reality (AR) laser safety eyewear system developed by Innotonix GmbH. It seamlessly integrates traditional laser protection with augmented reality technology to enhance safety, precision, and efficiency in medical, dental, and industrial environments.
Q2: How does HoloLase™ MD improve surgical precision?
HoloLase™ MD enhances surgical precision and efficiency by projecting endoscopic videos and critical data directly into the surgeon’s field of view in full color and high brightness. This advanced setup eliminates the need to divert attention from the surgical area, resulting in a 35% increase in productivity and more accurate interventions.
Q3: Can HoloLase™ MD transmit endoscopic video?
Yes, our cutting-edge product, HoloLase™ Air, is capable of transmitting endoscopic video directly to the HoloLase™ MD headset through a secure frequency band. The video is presented on a transparent 4K display embedded within the glasses, providing the surgeon with real-time, low-latency (<1 ms) visual feedback during procedures.
Q4: How many HoloLase™ headsets can be used simultaneously during a procedure?
HoloLase™ Air can transmit video to up to four HoloLase™ MD headsets simultaneously, allowing multiple team members to share the same surgical view in real-time. This capability significantly enhances collaboration and coordination during complex procedures.
Q5: What happens if the display fails during surgery?
HoloLase™ MD is equipped with transparent, see-through displays. In the unlikely event of a display failure, the surgeon can still maintain clear visibility of the surroundings while remaining fully protected from laser exposure.
Q6: How does HoloLase™ MD improves ergonomics of the surgeon?
HoloLase™ MD minimizes the need for surgeons to divert their attention from the surgical area to external monitors. By displaying data and videos directly within the field of vision, the headset promotes a more natural and comfortable posture, reducing physical strain and enhancing both the quality and efficiency of surgical procedures.
Q7: What types of lasers is HoloLase™ MD compatible with?
