Vanderbilt researchers have developed a breast implant device that minimizes potential contaminants during surgery by requiring no contact between the surgeon and the implant during insertion.
Vanderbilt researchers have developed a wearable surgical camera designed for use over the top of a surgical gown. The system, nicknamed Cleopatra, is designed specifically for the OR, maintains a consistent view of the operative field during a procedure, and is capable of supporting video, audio, lighting, and other technology in the immediate vicinity of the surgical field.
