Increasing use of AR-based surgical navigation in Thailand

Taiwan-based medtech company SURGLASSES has announced the recent implementations of its augmented reality-based surgical navigation system in Thailand. 

Thailand Veterans General Hospital and Chulalongkorn Hospital conducted their first AR-guided surgeries using the Caduceus S system. 

Designed for spine surgery, the SURGLASSES system provides surgeons with 3D visualisation capabilities to view the patient’s internal anatomical structures, including bones, tissues, and organs, during procedures. Besides being cleared in both Taiwan and the United States, the surgical navigation system has also been approved in Thailand.
