Cupertino, California, USA 8 September 2008 - FreeHand®, Prosurgics' next generation robotic camera holder, has joined an elite group of products selected by the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons (SLS) as their Innovations of the Year, 2008.
Every year SLS recognizes the most innovative products that have multidisciplinary application in minimally invasive surgery. Their 2008 Innovations of the Year are being announced at the 17th SLS Annual Meeting in Chicago on September 17th.
The FreeHand laparoscopic camera holder is the first of Prosurgics' new generation of affordable robotics, and is designed to bring the benefits of crystal-clear visualization and direct camera control within the reach of surgeons in every laparoscopic surgical unit.
Bill Perry, President of Prosurgics' newly formed US organisation, is delighted that the benefits of FreeHand have been recognised by the SLS: "FreeHand is an important innovation because it has been designed to solve problems experienced by every laparoscopic surgeon, such as poor visualisation and variable levels of surgical procedure assistance. FreeHand's numerous benefits and its affordability explain why we expect FreeHand to become an everyday necessity in operating rooms across the world in the coming year."
