Telelap ALF-X moves ahead

Sofar's Telelap ALF-X system can now be found on facebook as well. Check out their gallery for recent medical demo shots. Also, you can now download their brochure.

"The Telelap ALF-X is equipped with an eye-tracking system that controls the endoscopic view by moving any point looked at to the center of the screen.  The eye-tracking system enables activation of the various available instruments by merely looking at their respective icons on the screen. The Telelap ALF-X is designed for endoscopic interventions in surgery, gynaecology, urology and thoracic surgery, thanks to its modularity, adaptability and cost-e ectiveness of its surgical instruments. Due to the haptic feedback, the Telelap ALF-X enables the perception of the consistency of tissues and the forces exerted by the surgical instruments, as for instance when suturing knots.  The Telelap ALF-X enhances surgical dexterity due to its easy coordination between the hand and the instrument, motion scaling and 3D vision."
