The VisionPort System is a novel surgical imaging and access system that simplifies laparoscopic procedures by reducing the need for a separate camera port and camera holder and allows multiple simultaneous views of the operative field. In emerging markets, the VisionPort System will greatly reduce the capital-intensive equipment currently required to perform minimally invasive surgery, and thus, making state-of-the-art technology more accessible.
