Platform Imaging approached Optikos during the prototype design phase of their Visibot™ Visualization System, a device that is being commercialized for minimally invasive surgery. It includes two main components, connected by a small tether: 1) An insertable camera module with high definition … [Read more...]

Our client wanted to develop a competitive benchmark of a sampling of available surgical microscopes and relate it to a subjective evaluation by physicians. Optikos developed a test plan that included both radiometric and image quality metrics that captured the relevant imaging performance … [Read more...]

Our client had a unique design for a surgical system, but needed a stereoscopic camera system designed for manufacture and 510K FDA clearance. The Optikos team of optical and mechanical engineers reviewed several issues with the client’s development team to streamline the design for future … [Read more...]

Boston Scientific wanted to develop a single-use digital imaging system that would be cost competitive with conventional colonoscopy imaging. In the late 1990’s, they approached Optikos to design the entire electro-optical imaging chain for this type of product. Optikos recognized that the … [Read more...]

  Dr. del Nido and Dr. Vasilyev at Boston Children’s Hospital developed a novel, prototype cardioport for beating heart, image-guided intracardiac surgery for pediatric patients. The device incorporated an endoscope and a prototype viewing window, but the design of the prototype window … [Read more...]
