Robotic camera holder

During extensive market research among surgeons around the world, Prosurgics found that many have difficulty in securing a dependable assistant to hold the camera during laparoscopic procedures. Even when quality assistance is available, long procedures are tiring, leading to camera shake. Some surgeons even reported suffering motion sickness when operating.

FreeHand has been designed to address these problems. Taking only moments to set up, FreeHand is used by the surgeon to tilt, pan and zoom the camera using a handsfree controller attached to a head-band or surgical cap. Once in position, the camera is held in a rock steady grip, producing images of previously unattainable clarity.
