Established in 2010, Cipher Surgical has been at the forefront of enhancing the efficiency and safety of minimally invasive surgery. The company's flagship product, the OpClear platform, is designed for use in laparoscopic procedures. It provides continuous intra-abdominal vision for surgical teams by using an in-situ on-demand CO2 and saline lens wash system. This innovative approach minimizes the need for scope removal during surgeries, addressing common frustrations associated with visual obstructions and aiming for fewer surgical errors and shorter operating times.
