The Company’s Viking 3DHD Vision System delivers state-of-the-art 3D vision with natural depth perception and tactile sensation during minimally invasive surgery (MIS). It delivers the single most critical benefits of robotic technology, which is 3D vision. However, it delivers this benefit without the high cost of equipment, high procedure costs, extensive training or a long learning curve.
The Viking 3DHD has applications in urologic, gynecologic, bariatric, cardiac, neurologic and general surgery. The Company released their 3DHD Vision System in the fourth quarter of 2010. They started shipments in December of 2010.
In May, Viking Systems, Inc. reported that their 3DHD Vision System was used in the first human surgery utilizing Terumo’s Kymerax™ Precision Drive Articulating Surgical System. Professor Gunter Janetschek, Medical University Salzburg (Department of Urology) on May 10, 2011, performed two successful procedures. The first case was a nephrectomy and the second case was a partial nephrectomy. Both surgeries were successful and the patients are doing well.
