ONTARIO,
Calif., July 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading
augmented reality (AR) medical technology company SURGLASSES today
announced that, in collaboration with exclusive distributor
Goodlifeintertrade.co. Ltd., it has successfully registered and
clinically implemented its AR-based Caduceus S surgical navigation
system in Thailand. This
groundbreaking system is designed to assist various minimally
invasive surgeries, significantly enhancing surgical precision and
patient outcomes.
The first AR-guided surgery using only the C-arm in Thailand was successfully performed at
Thailand Veterans General Hospital by Dr. Chaiyos Chaichankul. The
78-year-old patient had preoperative symptoms of leg numbness,
radiating pain, and difficulty walking. After the surgery, the
patient's nerve numbness in the legs disappeared, and the pain was
significantly reduced. The day after the surgery, the patient could
sit up and walk, and was discharged four days later, resuming work
in two weeks. Dr. Chaiyos Chaichankul remarked, "The AR technology
of the Caduceus S surgical navigation system allows us to precisely
locate and treat the affected area, greatly increasing the success
rate of surgeries and accelerating patient recovery."
Additionally, SURGLASSES completed the first AR-guided surgery
combined with O-arm technology at Chulalongkorn Hospital, led by
renowned Associate Professor Prof. Wicharn Yingsakmongkol, M.D.,
and performed by Dr. Vit. The patient, a 48-year-old woman, had a
preoperative back pain level of 10 out of 10. Post-surgery, her
pain immediately reduced to 4, and two weeks later, it was
completely gone. Dr. Vit stated, "Using the Caduceus S system in
surgery not only enhances our precision but also shortens patient
recovery time. We look forward to utilizing this innovative
technology in more surgeries in the future."
The Caduceus S AR surgical navigation system is an advanced tool
specifically designed for augmented reality spine surgery. Through
its 3D visualization capabilities, surgeons can clearly view the
internal anatomy of patients during procedures, including bones,
tissues, and organs, thereby improving surgical accuracy and
outcomes. AR minimally invasive spine surgery and spine navigation
technology are becoming integral parts of modern healthcare, with
SURGLASSES leading the charge in this field.
SURGLASSES CEO Min-Liang Wang
commented, "We are thrilled with the significant clinical outcomes
achieved by the Caduceus S surgical navigation system in
Thailand. We are grateful for the
collaboration with Dr. Chaiyos Chaichankul as well as the efforts
of our research teams in Taiwan
and the US. These successes demonstrate the potential of our
technology to enhance the quality of healthcare."
SURGLASSES is dedicated to addressing the limitations of current
medical imaging technology through the use of AR. The Caduceus S
system enables clinicians to visualize patients' internal
anatomical structures in 3D during surgery, including bones,
tissues, and organs, thereby improving surgical precision and
outcomes. The AR navigation technology also allows for future
collaboration with remote clinicians through shared visualization
and real-time communication, providing guidance during
collaborative patient care.
SURGLASSES is an innovative medical technology company with
subsidiaries in the US and Taiwan,
committed to advancing human health through its AR digital
augmented reality ecosystem. The Caduceus S augmented reality
visualization platform aims to unlock the full potential of 3D
data, transforming image-guided medical procedures through
intuitive 3D X-ray visualization. The system has received FDA
510(k) clearance, as well as approvals from Taiwan TFDA and
Thailand FDA, and is actively expanding its global market
presence.
Through these advanced technologies, SURGLASSES is shaping the
future of augmented reality surgical navigation systems, providing
medical professionals worldwide with more efficient and precise
surgical tools. The successful application of the Caduceus S marks
a new era in medical technology, promising better surgical
experiences and recovery outcomes for patients around the
globe.
