A wide variety of tasks in medicine are subject to limitations in human dexterity. Advances in imaging technology put further demands on a doctor’s ability to perform procedures on tissue that he cannot view without the imaging technology. The majority of such tasks can be conceptually mastered but demand exceptional dexterity of the human arm/hand.
Enhanced dexterity systems will revolutionize tomorrow’s medical procedures. MicroDexterity Systems, Inc. develops systems that permit enhanced dexterity. What the microscope does for the eyes, these electromechanical systems do for the hands. MDS devices permit the control of hand tremor, scaled movements, and boundaries against movement. This technology will be used to increase precision and improve success rates in demanding microsurgical procedures such as skull base neurosurgery, brain tumors, aneurysms, spine surgery, Ear/Nose/Throat, and other microsurgery for micro-vascular, hand, and pediatric surgery.
Mission Statement
MicroDexterity Systems’ mission is to be the worldwide leader in advanced dexterity enhancement systems. The company’s vision is to provide tools that extend physician dexterity in much the same way that microscopes, video cameras and medical imaging have extended human vision. MDS believes that integration of dexterity enhancement with real time imaging is essential to improved patient outcomes and decreased costs. |
