Company Summary

IMS designs miniature wirelessly networked devices for Minimally Invasive Surgery. Laparoscopes provide an extremely limited field of view increasing the probability of undetected collateral damage and interfere with surgical instruments. IMS’ HD video cameras provide simultaneous close-up imaging of the surgical site and imaging of the entire abdominal cavity giving surgeons visibility comparable to that of open surgeries, and are disposable.
