Company Summary

Translucent Medical is producing a unique image and navigation system that reduces procedure time, complications, and X-ray radiation. Translucent's display over the patient shows a pre-operative 3D image that is aligned to the patient. Moving the display moves the image, creating the feeling of looking through a window into the patient. The result is instant perception and a direct, intuitive connection between the physician and the anatomy.
