General Surgery
I have used the MediVision Head Mounted Display for the Laparoscopic
surgery, radio frequency ablation of saphenous veins and for venous
access procedures utilizing ultrasound guidance. I have found the device
extremely helpful, especially for use during laparoscopic common bile
duct exploration when the C arm head obstructs my video monitor. With a
simple floor switch, I can toggle between my endoscopic video monitor
and the fluro image without craning my neck or moving. I believe the
device has many enabling characteristics and I look forward to future
uses, especially in ultrasound guided breast biopsies procedures.

Ultrasound- RF Venous Closure
What I have noticed was that I had not perceived as a nuisance of looking
and craning my neck to look at ultrasound was in fact a nuisance compared
to having an I View on and just raising my eyes up and down. So what before
was just our usual way of doing things now seemed very burdensome. Now
after using the device, the I View is now not just fun, but makes the
procedures much easier. It allows me to keep my head in place so my hands
are more stable. Since you are not moving as many body pats, you are
becoming more efficient at the task at hand. I have noticed that I am
better at the ultrasound guided tasks. My hand-eye coordination is improved,
and I am more dexterous at getting the needle and the catheter where it
needs to be. Lastly, my assistants can position themselves where they are
most comfortable. The I View places the image always directly in front of
my eyes, the assistants are never in the way.

Emergency Medicine
The I View display adjusts to sit 2 inches away from my face allowing me
to simultaneously view my ultrasound image and see my hands without
having to move my head or even refocus my eyes. This has several
advantages over a conventional monitor. The performance of single
operator ultrasound guided procedures is much easier when you do not
have to turn your head to peer at the monitor while the probe slides
off the target. Also, there is no need to turn the lights down because
you are looking into a covered structure devoid of light. Furthermore,
not being tethered to the angle of the monitor allows one to be more
mobile and scan the patient in challenging room configurations
including hallway beds. But most importantly are the optics. I never
knew how good my machine was capable of scanning until I wore this
device.
